Default Give it to me straight

Ok give it to me straight. What do you think of the new site I'm working on? I haven't made a post in a while cause I am working on 3 sites at once. But I'm back.

What a great concept! You definitely need to setup a mailing list and send emails to announce your new videos. I can see that helping your traffic long-term (sort of like that bug in people's ear to remind them).

I tried watching the videos by clicking on the thumbnails but nothing happened. Is it me?

You must have pop up blocker on. I have a bad habit of opening new windows. I'll change that. ty

Ok, I think I have fixed the problems. I got rid of the pop-ups and added a back button to the video pages. Can you check it again?

This is great! I love the baby. I would much rather have someone go through and find all the truly funny and not stupid videos on one page. Very cool!

Lisa's right, add a newsletter sign up for sure and a way for people to share your page with friends. Everyone loves to share a laugh.

How did you get the videos to show without going on to offer other videos? I added one to one of my sites but at the end it always goes to a screen offering lots of videos that I didn't intend to offer my visitors.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input.

I'm not sure why the other videos didn't show up. If they do show up, they should be more comedy videos, which I don't mind. I'm hoping that the five videos are enough to keep them on my site. I didn't want too many, cause most people watch this stuff at work and don't have much time. (Bad people, BAD!) Do you guys think the time restriction of about 3 minute videos is a good idea?

Seen as everyone has given you some positive input I'll provide you with your daily share of negative comments or constructive comments hopefully

Theres too many ad units everywhere I look there's ads If I hadn't of seen your header I would of thought your website was on Google Ads.

Outline the navigation, I cant tell it apart from the ads perhaps put some bullet points of small graphic pointers there just to emphasize your pages a little.

Add an introduction or sub introducing paragraph about the point of your site and how it will useful or fun to use for your visitors.

Hope everything goes well man your site or site's should I say are really starting to shape up keep it up.

I added the intro info..thanks for the idea Rob. However, on the navigation and ad confusion, I thought that was an AdSense strategy. I only have 4 ad units on the site. The right side unit just has multiple ads to it. I think I will change the ad links at the top though. I think an image ad would look better up there. (or will it)

I also added a voting poll that asks the viewer to subscribe after the redirect on submit, then they can watch previous videos if they want.

Let me know if I made it better or worse. http://www.youlaughtube.com
