          This isn't cause I care about wrestling or his site but, i think having 2000 posts in 2 months is retarded

          I think the site looks good btw.

              page is a little busy and oversaturated with diet ads. if you want to try a good sponsor- try the coffee thing at http://nonadult.com and good luck!

                      although not too keen on the ads, they tend to take your attention away from the main purpose of the content of the site, also maybe a little too much info to take in, just my opinion,,

                          i dig the logo & the color scheme! ..though i'd say the small url in the logo could a bit sharper.

                              I've found some content between the ads, just letting you know so you can take it down

                                  Much better than what you usually see in these types of threads

                                  In my opinion the header could be less busy, you've got a nice logo - why not make it slightly larger? And maybe style them blue links more, there are so many of them!

                                          I really like the logo. Whoever did that does nice work.

                                          Spend you some brain.

                                              Wow that is a lot of content.. I just don't see a Wrestling fan being able to read thru all of that.. Should put less on the page and use a larger font..

                                                                              The search bar goes almost unnoticed. I'd change the colors on it and make it a bit bigger so people can actually see there's a search function.

                                                                              There's a lot more things that I'd change, but I have work to do. Good luck!

Shorten the page so you can increase clickthroughs. Also, prioritize the stories based on CTR (there's scripts that do this). Add an email collection system. Dial down the ads a bit because it gets in the way of readability.

For more SE traffic, create a lot of reference pages -- maybe biographies of wrestlers, wrestling events background information, information on wrestling movies. Key these towards searched keywords and subkeywords.

                                                                                                                              I still remember buying a little HTML book and going over the source code for WrestleZone trying to make sense of how they built it.

                                                                                                                              I had mine on Expage first, and I would click my toplist link all night long keeping me towards the top. Then I moved to Geocities and then my own domain.

I will go out on a limb here and guess that wrestling fans are not the most internet savvy.

You already have a ton of ads on the site, lose the pop ups.

I will go out on a limb here and guess that wrestling fans are not the most internet savvy.
