    Hi All - am just finishing up my monster site, tucking in all the details and of course adding more info, articles, socsubs (Sirkhan), you name - balls to the walls plaster - anyhow... looking over the site this morning I am wondering if I am missing something.

    First, let me tell you what the site does: It is an inmate search I built that has a monster database of prisons, prison info, inmate locator and associated links. It also has a prison sentence calculator to tell you when you can get out on good time. This has also been turned into a free iPhone app and will be ready as early as next week.

    Now, let me tell you what the site is for: primarily 3 CB vendors, book sale and adsense. The adsense targets aren't bad with only 3 targets each highly specified and ranging $1.04 per click - I have removed all competition and sites that dont belong.

    Am asking for you guys/gals to have a peek under the hood and please make any suggestions about ad placement or additional revenue - I have a ton of room on the right side when it comes to certain pages.

    One of the pages which I have concern over is the prison calculator final page - once you key in your info (I would also like to get feedback on this to see if I made it easy enough to follow) - do you think the final page looks too busy? Or too plastered with ads?

    Any help and all comments appreciated...

    It actually looks pretty good however it's a bit hard to read the text on the logo.

    Do you mean the orange text on the header?

    As well I wrote a disclaimer page to make it appear more authentic as well to give people a heads up not to give a person a bum rap if they are on the list. Wondering if this should stay or will people not click "Agree" thinking its legally binding?

    Yeah the orange text and for the disclaimer just have a link at the end of the form to the disclaimer and have do you agree to the rules? and if they don't check it they cant search.

    Not sure how you could monetize this as I haven't used it before, but you could easily turn this into a "fun" app for Facebook... "When Will You Get Out of Jail?". I think a lot of people doing that use CPA offers but, again, not sure. But those kinds of things get big on Facebook.

    As for your site...

    I think it looks pretty good. It's nice and clean and easy to get around. Nice work.

    I think the survive prison guide should do really well on your site. I don't use Adsense so I can't really put any input in for that.

    As far as other ways to monetize it, I did come across a site when I looked up the "survive prison" niche a while back that caught my interest. It may or may not be effective on your site, but it's an affiliate program for referring people to bail bondsmen.

    Good luck with your site.

    The facebook app is a pretty good idea. You could have it where people can type in what there friend would go to prison for and then if people want to see what there friend said they have to get credits by filling out CPA offers.
