TBH, I do believe that no one really does care, but I just put it in anyway to give guests a sense of humanity behind it. Also, since I am the only one running it, there really is no “we”, just “me”. |
It's just my opinion, but Steve has his information because his website is designed differently. His web address is StevePavlina.com so you would expect to find personal information about him on it. Other websites you want a professional(not to be confused with cold) design.

I just mean change the copyright to toptenlisted.com. It refers back to the professionalism above

Completely agree with a digg this link. But there's various ways to implement it. And it just SCREAMS that there's little site traffic if all the pages show up as 0 diggs, even if that's not the truth. So I would try to find one that is a text link that says "digg this" without display the number, until it gets up there.

The comments are there because it is a blog style site (although not technically a blog). Do you think it may be better to just disable comments for a site such as mine? Or maybe even somehow incorporate "voting" into my site (although I wouldn't know how to do that)? |
The comments could help spur more traffic and trackbacks. I think if you did change it to voting style that could also help. Where people have the option to vote for one, or rank the 10 in their order and on the backend it takes the overall numbers and ranks them all.

Here's a link to
who-sucks. It's not like your site, but it does have a few lists. 10 reasons so and so sucks, 12 reasons etc etc. If you want to peruse it for a few ideas.

It seems as if you can never stop learning about web design and administration, then again you could apply that to life as well. |
Hope some of my comments are helpful to you!
