Your site looks very nice. There is a small problem which is that you are using a small modified version of a very common template in entertainment sites but I guess it is fine as long as it looks good.

BTW the ads in the top (those with the thumbs in the side) are against google TOS. Remove the thumbnail and replace the ad with a 336 box (which also has great CTR)

Well, they are actual content, two random videos to be more pricise but I will get a confirmation on it from them once again.

The site that I actually wanted a review on was my entertainment site which is also in my sig(post edited). I was wondering whether it is too unnecessary to be using an entry page.

I think it is unnecessary. You are linking to many sites there that are total unrelevant, and there are some "coming soon" sections that would be annoying to the average user.

Is this landing page for your campaigns or what is the purpose you made it in the first place?

Well I had this mascot designed and I wanted to use it somewhere on the site. I was going to design a nice entry page which would include all links to my entertainment sites but due to lack of time I had to put together something simple and quick and ended up with this. Smiley

yes right skip the intro...decide which website is your main site a link from this site like on the others.

this intros are also bad for SEO,

check www.bergtoys.com Visit through proxy the same thing, for the website behind the intro page there are good SERP's and nothing from the intro page while this one is getting most of the links.

maybe you can use a lightbox for new visitors like here: http://www.eight.nl/files/leightbox/ Visit through proxy

just use this kind of code "onload"

http://www.devcan.com Visit through proxy - you might want to lose the image map, inline styles, have a look on the web for XHTML & CSS tutorials, from an SEO point of view the site would be classed as a back door , no content and lots of links,
on the seperate pages you have a couple of coming soons, part from being perhaps one of the most annoying things on the planet, they also hurt your site (google has a tendency to not come back) or at least those pages will be in the supplemental sin bin when they are finally made, one saving grace no silly builder cartoons Smiley

I would remove the image map, crop the avatar and then write some content, a short who you are, introduce your hosting bits and pieces. Next look at your external links put them into categories and put them towards the bottom of your page. Your internal pages, should all be interlinked, though lose the coming soons, if they are not there, then they are not there.

Would you like to be an SEO, let me help with, The Tim Nash introduction to SEO Visit through proxy alternatively for Social media optimisation take a look at the Venture Skills Blog Visit through proxy
