Glen,

I'm really sorry we missed this post somehow!

The site looks great. I don't normally like white text on a black background but you seem to have got it working here. It's also a great niche market and will do well. How are you promoting it though? How many visitors are you pulling in?

Many of your pages are supplemental despite you having unique titles and tags. Have you made any navigational changes, added nofollow tags or anything similar during October?

I have a 1991 Ford Cortina 2.0 GL (Goes Lovely) and I might join myself. It's a rather unique car - runs on LPG....

Same here, I do not know how I missed this post! Sorry Glen!

I hate black sites... Maybe it is just a personal thing but I struggle enjoying a black site anyway...

I like the idea you have here, very good idea to target such a niche market in the industry. A little constructive critisism

With regards to your forum and use of keywords.

General remarks

Home | Pictures of Vehicles | Car club Members | Drivers Forums | Car Clubs | Motor Vehicle Events | My Dub

These are just examples, you know your site and public much better than I do :)

I feel your home page reads a bit difficult and might cause some conversion issues, (maybe it is the black, lol) But there is nothing that really converted me, I felt a bit lost on what I am supposed to do on this site.

Forum section

The keyword targetted for the main page of the forum is not descriptive enough. Instead of using autodub >> Forums maybe use a more descriptive keyword like "automotive forums" or "drivers forums" something that can bring you targetted traffic. Forums are to general.

The same goes for the header selections of your forums. Performance, Styling & Sound, etc. is to general. It will also improve your page headers.

Sad that your forum is throughn out of shape on this page http://www.autodub.com/forums/3397-2007-honda-civic.html because of the images there.

I hope this helps you Glen!

I don't like black either... white text is hard to read and is a visitor repellant.
The HOME link should have a better anchor... unless you want to rank for HOME.
Content makes you rank... there is no text on home... maybe fix chatmaster's problem with an explanation text with juicy words in it...

I don't usualy like white on black. But you've made it work 'cos its actualy white on dark grey. Very masculine too, good job.


P.S. the honda civic type R is one of the sexiest cars I've seen in a while!
