Please critique:

Online Games for Free at Punk Arcade

My own criticism:
Punk <-- Possible Negative conotation?
Need to get rid of the banner exchanges.

How about my ad optimizations?? They seem to be better now days.

thx

hey diexxxx you should move the exchange banners down. so people can play the games. i know exchange banner does work pretty good. however, if you look around all the good site, they put the banners a side or at the bottom. hope that help cuz you seem to have people on you sites...

First of all Punk Arcade is a great name to have, even with the .net, since the .com isn't a competitor, it's a pretty good domain.

I like the Retro Flash Back section, that's unique.

The shoutbox is a good idea, but the colors don't seem to match. (But maybe that's part of the "punk".

) And you might as well make the box wider, you've got room to spare.

You seem to be mostly running banner exchanges that reward for clicks, not just the impression, and your placement is above fold, which should help maximize your rewards with them should you choose to keep them there.

One issue with your ad block between the retro section and the main arcade, is that it appears to be done with HTML table borders. You can get a more professional look by setting "border=0" and copying the styles of your "Featured" block, for example.

Here's another idea. Change this image that currently says "NO thumbnail available"...

...to a generic game thumbnail, this will make it look more finished.

Hope that is useful...

Good luck with it...
