I’ll be giving a quick presentation of this project at an upcoming event, Refresh Winchester, next Thursday, April 1. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and see how I approached this project from concept to complete. Mostly, you’ll get to hear about all the stupid mistakes I made and how in subsequent revisions, I learned from those mistakes in my journey to SEO success. I’m happy to see that I’ve made it to page one for my targeted keywords, “video game rankings,” which I’m extremely excited about. I only recently delved into the depths of what makes a site SEO-friendly, so seeing my newly learned techniques and tweaks come to fruition has been an extremely rewarding experience for me.

Take a look, let me know what you think, and even sign up for an account if you’re so inclined!

I’ve been working on the project in my spare time, so progress has been slow, but I am very pleased with the results. The site is still in an early stage of development, but the core features and functionality are all there. The design is based on a very flexible CSS grid system, which has worked out quite well. I think I might post my template for this grid system here on my blog some time soon; hopefully it can be of some use to you as it was to me. If you or anyone you know has even a remote interest in video games, please feel free to visit ThumbSticks.com. Membership is free, and there are currently no advertisements on the site at all; it’s all about entertainment and collaboration! You can use the “Report a Problem” feature at the bottom of every page to submit any feedback that you may have.
