Hey all, I am starting a little site that I would love feedback on. What I am wanting to do is a little different than what goes on here. This site is awesome, but I am not looking for something of this size!

The site will be www.themodgod.com

I want to attract gamers that currently don't have much modding knowledge. The site is going to offer premods, repairs, parts, accessories, skins, case mods. I am even thinking of putting an auction area on it too, where people can sell their used games, machines, accessories...stuff like that.

I will probably have tutorial section, cheats, reviews, news, forum, but doubtful about the downloads. That is what makes this site so popular, but I'm not wanting to deal with the bandwidth, not just yet anyway.

I would really also like it to be a place where modders can gather together and offer their own products and services. I figure the more the merrier, ya know. Asmunch already jumped onboard and is handling the premods, but if anyone has any specific skills and is looking to make some money, don't hesitate to email me at webmaster@themodgod.com

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, any push is greatly appreciated...HA. I'm insulted that you think someone else did my header.... Actually, the entire site was a template...believe it or not. HA!

I have a knack for flash and site design, but I just don't have the time right now to be working on layout and design of a site, so the 60.00 for the template was worth it to me. I have a lot of flash stuff out there that I have done, it's not too difficult if you can put in the time. What size header do you need?

I found a host that has skinnable forums, chat rooms, shopping cart and more server space and bandwidth than I think I will need. Typically when you get packaged goods like that they are pretty lame, but I was extremely surprised at their "pre-bagged" goodies.

I started off with 1GB of webspace and 15GB of monthly bandwidth. Not bad for 9.99 per month..hehe. The shopping cart feature is costing me an extra 9.99, but the inventory, invoicing, and database controls are just awesome for someone who can't invest a lot of time into the backend.

The CGI programs that come with this account are incredible, from forums, guestbooks :yuk:, counters, and such. There are a few superfluous things, but some of their premade cgi is okay, I can still upload custom CGI scripts that I do take the time to create.

They have webelements that I can just pop into my site, like order forms, friend referrels, call backs, surveys/polls, event registrations, shit like that. I personally like the newsletter tool that lets me send 1000 per month at no additional charge. It's .99 per each additional 1000 newsletters.

What I am hoping to do is educate plain old gamers like myself who didn't know how modding could change their entertainment expectations. I have to be honest, I never would have imagined that my xbox could do these things, and I know there are a plethora of geasers like me who love technology and will want to take advantage of what their machine can do for them. Man, that was a long sentence....'whew'.

I'll be sure to plaster some HQ banners all over the place! I'll also still be here everyday like usual, putting in my 2 cents. I originally was only interested in selling skins. But, things kinda evolved to a bit more. I'm not looking to be big, just successful in my own little niche. No downloads, so no leechers..hehe.

later man!

Hey,

well it seems to me you have everything worked out perfectly Smile Thats great realmccloy..! I wish i had more time because i would help ya.. IM sure you know i love tech stuff.. heehe

Have a quick look at how many visitors we get.. Heaps.. Smile We are ranked #1 for heaps of xbox related stuff in google too so of course that helps. (there is a reason im telling you this heheh)

XBOX-HQ STATS:
We received
2,466,272
page views since May 2003

So a little over a year xbox-hq has been online and nearly 2.5 million hits.
Imagine how much bandwidth you are going to be going through when i start sending some hits.. Heaps... lol

Xbox-Hq is killing me with bandwidth especially lately but will never give up as long as i can scratch together the cash.. Smile We are using 225gb of bandwidth every month now.. (that ridiculous for a personal website)

ABOUT FLASH HEADER:
Got any ideas.. I loved your flash header that you did yourself.
I just really like animation.. Smile As you can also see i do flash too but just dont have the time anymore.. (it gets worse as you get older,, lol! )

I do website design for a living but most of my money comes from normal on-site tech support..

anyway, got to go.. Having a really bad week with my car just blew its engine and now i have to pull $4000 AUD out of thin air. I had better get thinking..

Take it easy guys and if ya need me just holla.. Ill try to reply ASAP..

what a f#&@ of a day, bloody cars (ooops.. Did i say that out loud??).

I know how you feel, my car needs a new engine too Sad

I have been putting it off for awhile since I have about $4000 wrapped up in one friggin week vacation at Ocean City MD come August.

That 225GB bandwidth scares the shit out of me...HA.

The next account up from the one I selected is only 30GB of monthly transfer, but it looks like the step after that is my own server. $49.00 per month get's me 500 GB transfer and my own server for storage and configuration. I'll cross that bridge if I ever get to it....or, once I get to it..HA.

One thing that I have never learned in the web authoring arena is how to score big in the search engines.

Hell, it took my own company about four years to start scoring high. I didn't do any submissions. I just tried to make my content relevant and hoped that the scoring systems eventually came around. I have heard stories where people put keywords throughout their site in the same RGB color as the background, but have also heard the web bots and spiders are on to that.

I guess I just need to look into search engine. When you have time throw me some advice on how I can get better search engine rankings. I guess I can always pay....HA.

Thanks for the input...later man

Well, I did some googling... Looks like they don't want to take money, damn...the american way of payoffs bit the dust. Laughing

Looks like the best way to score/rank is linking to and from other sites. Grasshopper learned...

thank you sensei

now, to go wax on...wax off
