Default ArcadeBond.com - Please Review

I was wondering if I could get some advice about my arcade website Arcadebond.com. Comments pertaining to the domain name, colors, logo, and layout would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what do you all think of having the site-wide links on the homepage display in a random order every time the page loads. I set the links to show up in a random order so that I could exchange traffic more evenly since av-arcade doesn't have a function to list links in order of best referrer to least best referrer.

Greetings and welcome at TA.

Nice simple design, love the color scheme, but i am sure green would be great with black also, just my 2 cents.

Cheers

Simple Layout. A good Logo but you could work more on it. Making it more fun and gamey type logo? (lol). I should say the ad placements are good. Everything is fine. And Good

May i know why you have 18 and 5 abpve the A and B?

Looks great and the idea of having a random order of links show up is very good. It'll give you a higher return in the long run.

The 5 and 18 are the element Boron and Argon. These are their placement numbers on the periodic table of elements. Why they are in the logo seems just to create a topic of conversation if you ask me, as they have little to do with bonding, bonds, or even Bond... James Bond :P


As for your site I see an issue with the alexa widget falling in between your columns and making them spread apart. I use a screeen resolution of 1400 x 1050, so this may be a factor.

Well, I just graduated from college with a degree in chemistry and I am sort of a chemistry nerd. Hopefully, the logo and/or name isn't too nerdy. I thought the term "bond" can be used as a synonym of "connection" or "alliance". Although, when I think of the word "bond" I think of covalent bonds, ionic bonds, subatomic bonds, etc. and chemistry related terms (hence the logo). On a related topic, I had to change most link references and words on my site to exclude the word "bond" because adsense was bringing text ads referring to finance related bonds.

My first choice of a domain name was gamesbond (get it, it's similar to jamesbond), but it was already taken. Thanks about the alexa widget info, I'll see if can fix that (I'm using 1280 x 800).
