Hi Mr. Trump, (I've always wanted to say that...)

Your site looks pretty good to me. One thing I would change though, IMO videos page under the heading "I N Envy V I Update" is absolutely nothing but spamming keywords. It has everything on there that has nothing to do with boats including typed numbers from 1 to 100, keyboard letters in reading order, several references to female anatomy,WWF, Snoop Dogg, and mythology - sounds like a weekend when I was in college.
I would get rid of that if you can. I don't know if "Above Technology" fills out your content or not but there should be some way to filter that.
This is only my opinion, so please take it as such: 1) I would not buy anything from this site because of that. To me it looks unprofessional. 2) It is not good for SEO! You have about 1000 keywords on that page that have nothing to do with your main content - google frowns on that! If it is logged (and it eventually will be) they will no longer crawl your site.
Hope that helps.

Note: The above opinions belong entirely to the idiot who wrote them and in no way reflect the opinions of anyone else - which is usually the case.

Wow, nice design and a very cool name.

I'm not sure I like the Google ads at the very top. Maybe because I know they are Google ads but to me it sort of cheapens the look of the site and interrupts the flow of the header. You have a nice header but the ads seem to take away from it.

Default DotComBOt:Re: My Website Critique

DotComBot,

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate any thoughts and opinions.

(1) The videos constantly update so I have no control...infact I cannot even find "I N Envy V I Update". I think it is gone already?

(2) Out of curiosity, how did you know that I am working with AboveTechnology?
Where did you go on the site to see this? I am very curious.

(3) Not sure what you mean by saying:
"You have about 1000 keywords on that page
that have nothing to do with your main content"
My site is all about boating..do not see anywhere it is not.
Please let me know where you see this so I can change it.

Please advise.

Thanks so much!

Yup, the video is gone. there is currently another under the heading "Aburrio en La Piscina" I'm sure it will rotate out soon as well. Not a big deal although you may see if there is a filter system in place for you to utilize.

Above Technology is copyrighted into your html code.

All of the key words I described were under the description of the first video, which has since been rotated out. They are no longer there.

Hope that helps.

Either underneath the boat at the top of the white space or even do a 120x600 vertical banner in your right column.

Thanks Lisa.
That's what I was thinking as well.
Most likely a banner on the side.

I think the Google ad distracts from your awesome menu and header.

Also, I found it hard to concentrate on your site's content because of all the flashing. It would also be nice to know what your site has to offer on the homepage with the sales list below a paragraph or two about your site.

Default Keep the flashing to a minimum.

I'm in total agreeance, keep the flashing to a minimum, I'm hoping no one here has epilepsy or they may have a case one you. Really though, it's distracting from the content, I'd be on there 3 mins get a headache and leave to never return. Just telling it the way I see it.

Wow, Pbaum, I'm sorry you have such a sensitive stomach and my ads are giving you a headache
But really, I love everyone's advice and take it all into consideration.
I feel that the site is quite good, like the flash and will make some minor tweaks and let you know when it has been done.
Thanks!

Hi Mr. Trump Jr.,

Pretty much agree with what has already been said.

1. You have a great domain name.
2. Site is very professional looking and easy to navigate.
3. Google ads at the top take away from your great header. I would move to a
side column.
4. Flashing ads are very annoying, maybe because there are too many?

Am I understanding this correctly; the automatic video updates you have also generate new keywords? If that is correct that would scare me not to have control over what keywords are being used. Could get you in trouble with SE's.

Looks good, good luck,

Default Site looks better!

Hey that is a very good site, either you made some great changes in the last week or I was extremely exhausted and my eyes already hurt. Fine job and i do have to admit if I was really into boating I would definitely utilize your site.

Very good domain name, I think you will definitely get good repeat traffic.
