I need feed back on my website

[iyereoboite]

I have made this website and i cant get anyone to go on it and begin to use it.

Its called monsterfind.co.uk


I have put a lot of time and effort into it and i am quite disappointed that i cant get anyone to use ut as i have originally intended. Can anyone give me any advice to get me some traffic that doesnt invole google adsense and blogging.

 

At a quick glance:

1) It seems to be reinventing the wheel with some existing sites out there
2) There are typo's through the copy (eg. 'Not yet a meber' at the bottom of Login screen)
3) There is no content, so might be difficult to get this without directly approaching letting people, etc with free advertisements
4) The jobs section is empty, so will need to approach recruitment companies directly to get some on it.
5) The content that is on there is not gramatically or technically correct (eg '1 Bedroom Whole flat in London' has 3 bedrooms in the spec)
6) I'd be looking for something to attract the viewers attention the moment they landed on your site, and it fails to do this for me (what about a one sentence slogan underneath the monsterfind title?)

Again, I'm no expert, but the above are quick observations.

Thnks. Constructive critism hurts but its better than nothing

 

I hate to actually criticise sites, and I certainly am not criticising yours, merely poining out observations. I'll give you a few plus points I liked about it, to redress the balance

1) I like the nice clean look/feel to the site
2) It is quite easily navigated (see final note below)
3) I like the layout of the 'look for property', though it'll need some sort of filtering option (can you also spread the details across the page a little more, they show up over to the left on mine, with a white space at the right hand side).
4) It is obvious you have done a lot of work on this site, and with a little polishing it can definitely become a little better, so keep at it.

Some additional ideas/thoughts:

1) On the home page, I'd put some bright, brief text/links for each of the groupings of people coming to your site (eg. Property Letters, Property Tenants, Car Buyers, Car Sellers, etc). This might go some ways to grabbing the viewers attention initially.
2) I'd change the menu option 'Account' to 'Register' as it would be more recognisable.
3) I noticed another little typo on the home page (top right 'Resons to sign up...')
4) The 'Find a Property', etc, buttons at the top, I'd make the whole thing clickable, rather than have the text in the bottom red box clickable, and the top one and picture not clickable - it is a little confusing.

I like the look. But nobody will be interested until you have a lot lot more stuff on offer. Good luck!

I had a site once many years ago that was a little bit similar (car sales - classifieds) and I found it really difficult to drum up interest simply because there was a lack of content. Eventually after significant hard work I managed to average about 200 ads on the site. However, since the site was focussed nationally connecting buyers and sellers through the site was difficult because of the likelihood of the geography of where people were. So from an advertisers point of view it was not attractive to list on my site.

I managed to get a content feed from autobytel and to be honest it did not make too much difference. I then dropped the site and moved on even though the site was well developed/designed.

I guess I could have made a better impact with the site by staying local as this would have put buyers and sellers geographically together.

So my advice on your site, is to make it all regional for all categories.

i went on the site and tried to look at property

1) only one section was clickable, the words under the picture of some keys...
i was frustrated that clicking ON the image or the words ABOVE the image, it didnt work, only on the words below

2) when i got to the property section, i expected a search box, but no, just a list of a few flats in london.

I then gave up.
I suspect that its hard to get these sites to really work as you have so much competition from rightmove, yourmove etc, so what is better or different about your site? - you need to focus on that.

good luck.
