I DO need your help to build an authority website

[SkyrocketSEO]

I started to build an authority site ....It is an online article directory

So, which one is it? Article directory or an authority site?

 

[Thanksyouall]

Dude your site still doesn't look professional - CTR Theme is great for micro niche sites - but for an authority sites its not suited at all... better look for a clean, professional and neat responsive theme like Montezuma for example. And by all means get rid of these flowers -they look horrible! Had a quick look at your articles and they look really good - i think you are on the right track just change your theme and keep on doing what you have done... cheers olystyle

Hi olystyle, I searched before to find a good theme for Adsense and Heatmap theme is one of the best so I decided to use it. If I find a better theme, I may change. I am not good at PS, so I just put that follower image as a logo. I may find someone to make a professional logo later. I will continue to make it better. Thanks for your great advice.

It is an online article directory, and I want to make it an authority site in health niche. Forgive my English. Hope you get my point.

I just wanted to say that IMO article directories are crap, there is nothing authority about that, again IMHO

You can't build "authority site", you can start with large project and hope one day your site will get enough "authority", so all hopes and calculations won't help you much.
Better try to focus on good work and then calculate how much you can profit.

But if you started with thoughts, "ok i invested $300 and nothing happens" you will fail for sure.

Could you give me more details that I get some negative seo on my site?

LOl, search this forum and learn the basics of SEO first. You dun want 50K porn links blasted with your domain right ? Google will ban you for that!! So, never share your domain name / niche publicly..

Twenty ten is a great theme template if your looking for something simple and nice, I don't know what other thinks of it, but it is free and will work fine with authority website.

Thank for you valuable advice. I will focus on this site and try to get more high quality backlinks. I know it's hard to see great results in a few days so I will continue to work for it and invest more money.

Before I put my site here, I did worry about that. I am not sure whether there are some guys going to do that, but I hope they will not. Thanks for your advice. I will pay more attention to that.

That's right. It is very clean and I do like that theme. I use heatmap theme because it seems to have a good ctr.

One thing that you should understand is that you need to spend a lot in designing and developing the website. After this, you need to market it. Just because you have a website, people may not come. Where will you get the visibility.

hi there,

I have checked your website just now and I was expecting really awful but it turned out that its not that bad at all. Your site is just too simple and not professional looking due to some designs added.

I suggest you change the theme you're using.
Also, since you're site is about health and medical matter, maybe you can try going with a theme that has a shade of blue but don't overdo it. just make it simple yet credible looking.

As to content, well, that's another matter. I think, you'll really need to get plenty of work done to get your site content improved.

Now since you have admitted yourself already that you're not that good in the English language, I think there will really be a problem when it comes to assessing whether the new articles you're getting are of good quality because you can't even check the quality of it yourself in the first place because you are not that fluent enough to detect the errors.

If only you could have a VA that is very fluent in english, like someone who has took up English course in college or as part of her curriculum just to make sure they are well versed in the language and capable enough to check the quality of your outsourced articles.

No offense meant. I would just like to give you some honest advice. Hope this helps.

by the way, you can consider outsourcing to countries that have english language as their second language or third at the least .

I can suggest, Hong Kong, Philippines and Singapore. Those are countries I'm sure you can find good english speakers though they're not native speakers of the language. also, malaysia, i think

Good Luck!

Hi there

Just noticed that you still are using the flowers logo... why not take an existing logo? If you can't find a logo grab this one:http://www.knmp.nl/downloads/producten-diensten/publieksvoorlichting/apothekerslogo_rgb.jpg adjust the logo and size (or adjust the size with CSS) to your background (maybe leave a thin white border...) with gimp, paintshop pro, photoshop, inkscape or whatever you are using...

5 minutes effort to make your site look a little more "medical" and health related...

cheers olystyle

That's right. I have a long way to go before I can make some decent money with it. Thanks for you advice.

Currently I do munaully rewrite PLR articles. I will definitely outsource the writing to others, but not now as I have not enough money currently. Thanks for your valuable advice.
