Review Backpackers.info
 

Gday Fellow Members,

Would like some reviews on www.backpackers.info (I also own the .org extension, so I will probably change the name to .org) ... the design is not by me, but I would like feedback on the layout, colours, adsense layouts and everything else.

I am looking for a decent Logo relevant to the site.

I also plan to have a nice photopost gallery, possibly a blog area, classifieds section and travel articles.

Any Advice, Hints, Tips and much more would be greatly appreciated!

At this stage, all links to tours and hostel bookings go to my affiliate site "BookHostels.com" I would like like soon for everything to be able to be booked on my site without members and visitors leaving my site.... to do this I need XMI and API which I have no idea about! If anyone can help let me know.

The site is aimed at young travelers (mainly European, English, Australian, Canadians) who usually leave home for a year or two to go backpacking the world, Europe, England, Canada, Australia, Asia and New Zealand.

It is not aimed at Hikers, which can also be called backpacking in the USA.

To the average young Australian, Canadian, and many young Europeans, and English, to take off for a couple of years backpacking is like a "Rite of Passage" something you must do before you start University, a Long term Job, get married and so forth.

Backpackers coming to just Australia bring Billions of dollars just to the Australian Economy, 100's of thousands of backpackers come just to Australia every year and most stay for a year to travel and to even work on a working holiday.

Thanks!

Billy

It's a nice enough looking theme, but honestly, the site deals with such a good, focused subject matter that it is screaming for a custom skin built around that. I'm from the mountains of southeast Kentucky, so backpacking is a subject I can well appreciate. ;)

Thanks Mark, I forgot to say to site is aimed at young travelers (mainly European, English, Australian, Canadians) who usually leave home for a year or two to go backpacking the world, Europe, England, Canada, Australia, Asia and New Zealand.

It is not aimed at Hikers, which can also be called backpacking in the USA.

Ah, okay. My bad. :p

Billy - i agree strongly with Mark it needs a custom skin or at least one that seems more thematically related - i find this helps getting people to use the site - nice idea BTW
