Improving Signupandmakemoney – recently added functionality

I just wanted to give all the members of Sign Up and Make Money a quick update on the recent improvements I’ve made to Sign Up and Make Money.com.

I’ve been working all weekend to get the site to have a little bit more functionality. There are still tons of things I want to do to the site to make it better for everyone, but at least I was able to get these recent improvements made to the site. One of the reasons I decided to write this blog post was to make myself stop working on the site.

Recent improvements to the site:

Google Translate added

I ran into another site that was using Google Translate on their site and I thought it would be a great addition to this site. This is considering a majority of the traffic comes from China and India. Google Translate works good in every browser except for Safari, I don’t know why, but I think it’s a cool tool.

Comment count added to blog

I added a comment counter to the Blog so you could see how many comments have been approved at the site. Though Sign Up and Make Money has gotten over 50,000 comments, a majority of them are unfortunately spam.

Can now search Google within Signupandmakemoney

I added Google Custom Search so you can search Google in my site. I only added it to the blog and main sign up bonus site. I will add it to the forum at a later date.

Updated sign up bonus header

I put a lot of thought into how I could make the header look better at the main index of the site, but I’m still not happy with it. I hope it suites everyone though.

Updated FAQ page using jQuery

I made the frequently asked question page a little bit cooler by adding jQuery to it. Instead of the crappy javascript I had before, now the FAQ page looks more like Digg.com with animation included.

Added tool tip pop up

Making use of jQuery again, I added a neat little tool tip pop up to alert new visitors of which sign up bonus sites have actually paid me. I’m not very active in a lot of the sign up bonus websites. I mainly just like to build websites, but to see that sites actually pay someone who doesn’t actively promote them shows a lot.

Cool RSS pic at home page

I found a really neat RSS picture using Google Image Search. I just had to use it at the sign up bonus site.

Forum navigation css modified

Now when you hover your mouse over the navigation bar at the forum, the link will change color. It wasn’t a big deal, but I just like the hover effect.

I also added a few more sign up bonus sites, I will write about them at a future date.

Updates yet to come to Signupandmakemoney.com:

• Ad manager – you’ll be able to purchase and track advertising at the site.
• Referrals at the affiliate program will be automatic instead of manually approved.
• New navigation bar at the sign up bonus page using jQuery will be added.
• Google Search form will eventually be added to the forum.

As always, I would love your opinions of this sign up bonus site. There is a thread in the forum where you can comment on needed improvements to the site.
