Review my (partial) site!

Hi,

I partially finished my site. This stuff sure is hard work!

Please add comments on how I can improve and its advantages and disadvantages.

I also have a few questions:
1. Should I put google adsense right now, or after I gain more traffic?
2. This google adsense polity just doesn't "make sense" to me. What if I keep clicking on the ads from another computer? How will they catch me doing this?

I'll be looking forward to your replies.

I like to look and feel.. however, I do feel like the news section and the navigation section should stand out a little better. At first I ignored the news section because I didn't think it was part of your site.

Also, your logo is blurry. I do have a suggestion for your logo, which you definitely do NOT have to listen to...

but www.cooltext.com generates free use logos/buttons for websites. You can make pretty good looking stuff on there.. but anywhere for the logos, under the gaming fonts section there is one called "halo" I don't know how closely it relates to font used in the game, but i get the idea that it is supposed to match the in-game font.

Other than that, its looking good. Looks like a site I would trust for game info.

I am missing why you would not put google adsense on your site? If you don't want a chance to make money yet, I guess that would be a good reason.

My point is that even now, people from here are looking at your site, and it is possible that somebody could find a link on your site entising and click it.

So go for it, get google adsense up and then it is just one less thing to worry about later.

Not to tell you what to do, but thats my 2 cents.

yeah, I think I'm just gonna put it up. It's just that I read somewhere that you shouldn't put adsense on until you get a descent amount of traffic.

I guess I'll register right now...

Ok, I registered for google adsense. But I have a question...it says that you have to be at least 18 years old, but I'm 14...

That's a problem. Do they care? If I'm not over 18, will I still be able to receive the checks?

Thanks

I think you have be 18, probably because they can't really have a binding agreement with a minor. I am sure there is a way around this... does it say anything about parents signing on their kid's behalf?

Dang! I already submitted the form!

Maybe when the confirmation letter arrives, I'll just delete it, create a new google email, and sign up again under my parent's name.

Tell me of my little plan has any "holes" in it.

Thanks,
