Basic Review
Site Name: Affilipede
Site Type: Affiliates/Marketing
Age: Just over 3 months old
Appearance
The look of your website is pretty decent. Though I'm personally not a huge fan of dark, black skins, this one seems to work just fine and suits the site. There's nothing that's eye-straining or hard to read or clumped together, so you took the issue of space very well. As a home page, you typically want to give your customers/guests something good and very appealing to look at. Seeing that it only includes about three colors, I would suggest adding a bit more flair to it. Introduce more colors. Use some more effects to make the pages stand out more and have a better sense of aesthetics while at the same time keeping the quality the same. The header image though does look pretty good, simple, and has a good border to it.
Layout
Moving on from the appearance, the "Affilipede" image at the top seems a little too large. If its big enough that you have scroll down each time to view the content and the first thing you always see is that image, then you might want to consider resizing it. I realize the site was made using a free host, so the irrelevant banners are understandable. However, I would try to work on balancing image and text. Some pages have an image or two while some do not. Also, the arrangement of the links buttons fluctuates from page to page, potentially leaving your guests in some sort of a maze. The key to this is again both balance, and consistency. You really don't need the same buttons to appear more than once (more than twice on the Affiliorama page!); just substitute them with something more productive. Have a defined structure and stick with it!
Statistics and Activity
Since this is a website, and there is nothing that directly tells you the statistics or activity of the site, it's rather difficult to extrapolate on this subject. However, you did put a facebook link with likes on the page, and 4 likes for a relatively young website isn't bad. Keep promoting your site and try to up this number, so you give the better impression that your page is frequently visited. I would also consider adding a counter widget to your page (something that displays the number of hits on your site) which would also help future reviews an insight into the activity of the website. Just something to consider.
Content
Judging solely from the title of the site, one can make the assumption the site is about affiliates. However, there are about the same amount of content related to this as to different content and this makes it a little confusing as to what your site is truly about. Try to focus more on the theme of your site and put in more information on this so people can find what they're intentionally looking for. Although when it is related to the topic, the content is very succinct and informational. So really, it doesn't lean too far one way or the other, in terms of content.
Organisation and SEO
Could use a considerable amount of work. The PR is 0, and it currently has no Alexa rank. You do have 3 sites linking in, which is a start, but a lot more work is to be done in this area. Besides, "Affilipede" I couldn't find any sites through google that linked back to yours like "Affiliate Marketing", "Affiliate Graphics Services", or "Affiliate tools". To the best of my knowledge, there just wasn't anything that came up. The backlinks though are relevant, so again off to a good start, just work on getting more people to your site and improving traffic.
Words from the Reviewer
For a site such as this, it is not bad in some areas. In a nutshell, it is satisfying and sufficient. Just pay more attention to the site's attributes in relevance to other related sites and see what you could improve on. There are plenty of things that could be done to enhance your page in both the quantitative and qualitative sense. I understand your site is under some construction so I wish you luck with that!
