Ok some of you might remember me trying to get this off the ground a little while ago, which didn't pan out too well. But as i still own the domain name i decided a quick revamp was in order. Its all pretty self explanatory - its a website dedicated to listing parts/cars (classic mini only) at the moment it is recommended to be pretty much on par with newspaper listings/gumtree, you see whats on offer, ring up, view item & meet seller, buy or dont buy. Simple. In the future i would like to add a paypal type function and feedback too..... If anyone is interested in helping out with anything let me know.

Is this not just the same as the classifieds section in here? :/

Great to see you didn't give up! A few suggestions from someone who does this as a living...

- Ditch the intro page, it won't do you any favours both from a usability point of view and SEO.
- When there are no adverts in a category, show a message saying so.. maybe use it as an upsell to get people to add an advert to that category.
- In category pages, make the thumbnail click through to the advert page, this is where most users will click

Keep it up and I hope it does well!

ETA: Also take a look at your title tags, add some more search friendly phrases in there. May be worth installing All In One SEO Pack.

Thankyou for the good ideas especially the all in one SEO pack

and Mini Adam yes the website is like the for sale section here, but i think there could be some benifit in having a dedicated site, instead of various forums and ebay...etc. I am also aware i need something to set the site apart, some unique selling point, i just haven't figured out what that could be yet (could do with having a decent hook up with somone, or some clothing and accessories...etc....)

On that note does anyone have a decent high quality picture of there mini they would like to represent the website and be offered as a wallpaper (free of course)
