Hey there! I'm building a site called The-Movie-Vault.com. My goal is to create a place for people to regulary visit to watch movies and tv shows for free.

I want honest opinins on how the site "feels" as you enter it and navigate. Does it feel amaturish? Does it feel like it lacks content?Is the logo making my site seem more professional?

Would you watch movies here and if not let me know why. I get traffic but only a bit of the traffic will stick around to watch the movie that led them there. I just want to know how I can improve my sites stickiness.

Thanks,

Terence

Hello Terence,

 

I like your site, but i'am unable to watch any film, Internet Explorer 8,Internet explorer restricted your site for security. What plugin is insecure?

 

 is very important to have porn ads?

 

The logo could be improved but that secondary.

 

regards,

A singles/sex ad overlay I can't close? Sorry ... big loss of trust right away.

I was going to say the same thing as the others.  That ad is pretty awful!  Not a good idea.  Instead you should have ads that are actually related to movies.

I also noticed quite a few grammatical errors across the site.  This also makes it look unprofessional.

In addition, the procedure you have for letting users watch movies is rather unappealing.  Most people will not want to complete an offer.  It makes it seem like a scam.

Other than those things, I do like the layout fairly well.

Awesome I will definitely keep these tips in mind. I've been told by ad networks I'm a part of to try and put ads that would fit my demographics so that's why I placed that singles dating ad at the bottom of the screen, (my demographics are young adults) but if it takes credibility away from my site I will gladly take it away. On my browser its is close-able which is means I need to test my site on different browsers for good measure.

Also every now and then I will lock the entire site with a content locker, this is actually how my website generates most of the money (banner ads and PPC ads generate not enough to make this project worth while) however its a double edged sword as it will cause many visitors to never return.

I'm definitely fine with discontinuing the organization of movies alphabetically (will save me a lot of tedious work) however; will it come in handy later down the road when the site has 6,000+ movie in it? I've seen sites that I hope to replicate such as http://motionempire.com and they have alphabetical organization to help locate certain content.

Awesome feed back though, if there is more keep it coming! I'm all ears.
