Animation Talk

Well finished after a few weeks development and hair pulling:) Animation Talk (http://www.animationtalk.com)(Formerly AnimatioNation (http://www.animationation.net)) is done. The site has been completely redesigned from the ground up. It includes a custom news system, custom portal, and a custom dynamic sidebar. The portal uses an easy to use interface to display community statistics and recent animation news. News is a new big thing being pushed on the site, well with the custom news system i developed writers can post articles with ease and for serps there are seo friendly urls. One big feature for me about the news system is its intergration with the forums, when a new article is posted it automatically creates a thread or when a news item is updated it automatically updates the first post of thread. Then on to the sidebar, it currently houses a few features such as navigation, product display, and one more feature i find great. It houses relevant news based on a thread title and soon to be a forum title. This all brings the user content that they want when they want it.

The new look also includes a new style. The main point of the new style is to provide a cross browser/user interface that all can use without worries. It uses web safe colors and barely any graphics to achieve this affect.

I hope you all enjoy and all critcs are welcome. Oh and right when i opened the site i had 125 BOTS ON!

Looks great! WHy did you change domains?

due to a conflict with animationnation.com and also it called some confliction with serps

ah - ok.


Looks good. I would definately tell you to get into the Coop Ad Network (http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/?s=492). It'll get you spidered fast and back up in the serps fast while you rebuild your google positions.

do you think my site is ready for coop network?

Your weight will be very low at first - but it will grow.

Also - Get your link listed anywhere you can.

Here is a list of directories you can list in: Web Directory Article (http://www.vbwebmaster.com/articles/directorylist.htm)

There are many more out there as well. The idea, especially when getting started, is getting as many links as possible.

Also - Dump your current Stock VB Archive and replace it with the vB Easy Archive - Search Engine Spiderable Hack (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65703) -- it is spidered much easier by Google.

You'll be fine within a few weeks.
