Top 10 Tips for an Awesome CP Site!

You can find this information, and other things like it, on our Cheats/Secrets/Glitches Page!
- For the first little while on your site, your number of hits will probably be quite low and not many people will visit it. But instead of giving up or just waiting, why don’t you use the time to make your site better? Create your pages and start using more and more posts, so by the time that your site is up there with Mohd’s, it’s amazing! I suggest putting up a Blog Stats widget on your sidebar and you can sit and watch your site grow!

- Ok, well for a start, you have to make it look good! Spend some time jazzing up your header, figure out your colour scheme and make it look impressive and “professional”. People like colourful and interesting sites!

- Make sure you keep your regular visitors updated with posts on all the new stuff. Also, people like cheats and secrets, so it’d be a good idea to write up posts or a page is great too with all your cheats and secrets. And if a new mission comes out, walkthroughs get lots of people looking at your site too!

- Pictures say 1000 words. Instead of writing up a page that just blabs on and on in a million words about how to do the mission walkthrough, put in a picture! Seriously, not only is it alot easier to do and read, but it looks more colourful and interesting too!

- Never, ever, ever copy people. There is absolutely no point in copying and pasting pictures or posts from another site straight onto yours. If people wanted that information, they’d go to the site you got it from, not yours! And the most boring thing in the world is when people copy of the Official Cp Blog – everyone looks at that. Either put it in your own words or forget it!

- Make sure you have things on your site that people can do! Put in polls, competitions, places to comment or ask questions and other things that allow visitors to get involved. Maybe you could have a Penguin of the Week or interview people – people like it when they feel “famous” and are mentioned on your site! Make sure that you add people with CP sites to your blogroll too!

- Be original! For goodness sake, tons of sites have the catalogue on them and write about the Latest Newspaper. You don’t NEED that stuff if other people have it! Look outside the box – find things from behind the scenes of Club Penguin – maybe the CPIP updates or the latest message on the Agent HQ board. No one wants to find the exact same information on every Club Penguin site that they look at!

- The most annoying thing is when people use bad language or paste inappropriate pictures on their site. Don’t you realize that Club Penguin users are kids from only 7 years old?! It puts people off when they look at a site that is offensive.

- Don’t get mixed up between Club Penguin and the real world. It’s annoying when people search your site for updates on rockhopper or the latest catalogue and they find photos of your favourite band or pictures of you! Make sure that if you have a Club Penguin site, it’s all about Club Penguin.

- Everyone loves a Club Penguin Pics page. Seriously, if you want to entertain people, make up some funny pictures or capture a funny moment on CP!

So I hope that gave you a few ideas to fix up your site, or maybe even encouraged you to start your own! If you follow these tips, you might just find yourself with a few more hits!
