Thumbs up VIPortals - Play Games, Win $$$

www.VIPortals.com


I'm not going to lie... I take comments pretty hard, so try to be positive and give constructive criticism. My site is two weeks young, and I already have almost 500 unique visitors and 20 members. I have over 1700 game plays too. I just installed the new scoring system, so users are getting used to it (and I'm still fixing it up), but overall the site is quite alright for now. I update it daily, and I am trying to advertise now (without paying).

I could use some ideas on how to make it more attractive for users to sign up, although I think my idea of giving away half of my monthly profits is pretty good. Security is pretty bad, so ideas on how to improve that would be great too. Otherwise, tell me what you think, and even if it's something tiny (smaller than my pinky, and I have a small pinky), I appreciate the ideas or complements.

If you didn't get enough sleep last night and just want to bash me, get some sleep =)

Oh yeah, here are the Site Meter stats:
http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s45viportals

PS - An idea I have is, for the avatars, put the stats of the player on top of the lizard picture. How can I go about doing that, and do you think that would be better than letting people have custom avatars?

THANK YOU!!!

What have you actually tried so far?
Have a dig around there and ask follow up SEO questions there...

Good luck.

so far i've tried following the standard rules of titles, keywords, descriptions. im not too sure about other stuff with SEO, but my PageRank is 1. is there anything you can find about my site that would make it that horrible? or, do i just need billions of exterior links to the site in order to make it PageRank 10?
