Hi,
I have a very niche-specific forum, at http://www.makemoneykingdom.com and I`m thinking of making a few changes.

I am thinking of putting out a design contest on this forum for a new theme and logo for the site. I`m not sure really how much this would cost, but I`m not in a position to spend a lot on it at the minute.

Any thoughts on the forum (and a potential redesign) would be much appreciated,
Even your small inputs are very much appreciated.

Thanks for your time once again.

Hello! It is a little bright :)

Also, some kind of description about what your forum is all about would  be helpful at the top, as well as some info as to why you are better/different, not another scam!

Good luck to you!

There`s no "Home" tab, so after clicking the FAQ link and doing some reading, I wanted to go back. Fortunately, you do have your headline banner linked so that worked.

I agree with the above comments, particularly the description. It`s fine to use a FAQ, but the basic function of the site should be quickly evident on the home page.

The main problem I have is organization. I don`t see an easy way to get involved with the site. Although I`m sure a flood of people will be coming online to search for ways to make "easy money" online, or even just to find work of any type, there currently are a lot already looking.

To that end, most people have a pretty good idea of the various systems out there. Your site seems to be a discussion forum to examine the many options, opportunities, scams, and product sites. There should be a better categorical organization, I think.

For example, you have a "donate" tab. That reduces your credibility. Instead, you could have a "contact" tab, and include the donate option on that tab. "Calendar," "Member list," and "vbSPY" don`t make much sense and don`t help the process, in my opinion.

What might make more sense would be to develop 5 basic categories for money-making analysis. Something like, "MLMs," "Affiliate Mktg.," "Services," "Small Business." Things like that. Then use a search option to open up only topics related to those main categories.

The idea is to help people find topics and discussion that resonate with their own particular interests. Y`know?

vBulletin is a good forum script. I see you allow people to use the "default" design instead of your yellow design (option at the bottom left of the page).

This is a typical vbulletin layout - and fairly common for all forums.

Changing the look of the site is not that complex and just changing the header image can dramatically change the look.

I guess my question is... is there a problem - less activity, membership, or traffic than desired?
Running a forum requires a lot of attention - making sure there are new posts that stimulate participation, montoringf for spam posts, etc. Promotion of a forum is another important task.

The title of your home page is needed (right now it`s your domain name)...whereas the title of each category appears in the title tag (which is good).

I see most of your traffic (47%) is from India.while only 9% from the US.
