Also, I updated the logo graphic, I couldnt find a font I like so I just made the logo look a better, you may have to refresh to see it. I took out the words below the flash animation as well.

Eric: which pic are you referring to? Neil: Funny thing is I haven't got one organic click with these yet. Rankings: online photo contest - not sure photo contest - I have no idea photo contests - no idea photo contest win cash #19 photo contest with cash #46 photo contest with cash prizes #45 video contests - #37 video contest - no idea

Eric - I forgot, I made a music video contest just for you bud Check it out in browse contests

To: thewooleymammoth Thanks for the comments, I rather someone be a little harsh as long as they are honest so I can improve it so its no problem. To: xcandiottix - If not blue, what color would you use? Maybe a lighter blue or green (to indicate money). Would be a lot to change it since some of the graphics have a blue bg. - I thought the logo was kind of cool, I designed it myself...maybe I can change the font. Is the picture of the eye professional enough? - I agree, some are the fonts are off, I'll work on fixing that. - I agree about the paragraph, I was just using that for Seo, but I can put it on the about us page. - We have a login button at the very top as well...I thought the login/register box was nice looking and would be in a good place if I take out that paragraph. - Polls and suggestion box I could probably leave out, Maybe I'll change that to suggest a contest. - Blog, I kind of like there not sure where else it could go...maybe on the community page. - Although, if i take out all of this then it would be just empty space, might look funny. - If you look at it there are competitions, then right below are the top 3 photos or videos vertically per competition, maybe i need a divider line.

I don't understand what doesn't look real about it? Is it lack of content? I paid a professional to do the layout, design, and coding. What do you think specifically could be improved?

Thanks for the comments. I agree the text is a little lengthy, I'll try to shorten that. However, I was planning on using the flash banner to advertise contests and/or sponsors so I may keep that. When you say get rid of the whole midsection, what exactly are you referring to? Thanks for the tips on the forums, I'm working on that.

Hey Guys, We launched our site http://www.visualskirmish.com about 6 months ago and we are having trouble getting traffic. I'm in the process of doing some SEO work, adding links and what not but we can't seem to get any organic clicks, just the cpc from Adwords which cost way too much. Any good ideas to generate more traffic? We also are experiencing that many of our users that join do not actually join a contest, they might upload a pic or video but do not actually join. If it is the entry fee, where could we find sponsors for our contests? Any ideas for graphic design or api? Thanks for your comments! James Arnold
