Welcome!!

Hi and welcome to Scarlet Moon, a review site run by me, Ruby. Thanks for coming!! Open since Januray 6, 2012!

You walk into a brightly colored building. There are six Petpets wandering around the quaint store. As soon as they see you, they run up to you. The Petpets are obviously trying to get your attention. Which one will you choose?

Cloud Harris

I will judge your site out of 100. (100 being the best)

First Impression (_/10)

Does something catch my eye when I first come to your site?

Layout (_/40)

Does it fit the name? Anything too big and/or flashy? Is your site sticking to one theme? I will look at whether your layout is premade or custom, and if it actually looks good.

Content (_/20)

Is there enough "meat" in your site? Do you have enough options and "open horizons"? Content is one of the most important things in a site. If there's not enough stuff, people aren't going to want to look into your site anymore.

Spelling and Grammar (_/20)

Is all of your spelling correct all throughout your pages? What about punctuation and other types of grammar? I will take in mind the size of your site while judging. Smaller sites should be able to have better grammar because you're not updating every single day.

Sitely (_/10)

Do you have enough link back buttons? Are you listed in at least a few sites? Do you have affiliates/sister site? I'll take points off if you have tons of affiliates that don't link you back.

Christmas Warf

In this review, I will judge your pros and cons. (This review will be out of 50 points)

Pros (_/25)

What's good about your site. If you wish to save the good for the end, let me know when you mail me!

Cons (_/25)

What needs improvement on your site. I will not be all that tough with smaller sites.

Island Faellie

This review is for newer sites ONLY! It will be a percentage based review; out of 50. You will get a grade. The rubric for the grades will be at the bottom of this page. I won't be all that harsh on the newest sites, but you are coming here for a review, so don't think I'll baby up the mistakes.

First Impression: (_/10%)

Is there some sort of eye-catcher when I first come to your site? Because your site is new, it doesn't have to be perfect quality or in the exact spot. I'll just let you know of that.

Layout: (_/10%)

Does your layout, in some way, fit your site theme. If your theme is the beach, and your layout has stars and the moon, it obviously doesn't fit. If you have a premade, it'll be alright, but I may give you some links to custom layout sites.

Content: (_/10%)

Is your site meaty enough?? Based on how long your site has been up and running, will determine how harsh I will be. Content is so important, so, even though your sites are new, I will be more picky in this section than any other.

Spelling and Grammar: (_/10%)

Pretty self-explanitory; I will search high and low on your site for any mistakes lurking around. If I find any I will ittalicize them and then fix it in bold.

Sitely: (_/10%)

Once again, just because you have new sites, doesn't mean you can get away without any affiliates or listers. They advertise your site, so why not get listed or request to be affies? You'll also need link back buttons. I've found it more fun to be able to choose out of a bunch of buttons over two or three. I'll probably give you links to sites according to what was wrong.

A+ -- 97% or higher
A -- 96-94%
A- -- 93-90%
B+ -- 89-87%
B -- 86-84%
B- -- 83-80%
C+ -- 79-77%
C -- 76-74%
C- -- 73-70%
D+ -- 69-67%
D -- 66-64%
D- -- 63-60%

Patamoose

This rubric is for sites with a decent amount of time under their belts. This review will be out of 5 stars. My 'star' reviews are probably different from others, so make sure to read below.

First Star

First impression. Do you have anything in your site that catches my eye, but isn't too flashy?

Second Star

Layout. How well does your layout match your site theme? Is something too pixeled? I will look and see if your layout is premade or custom, and if your layout is a nice overall look for the site.

Third Star

Spelling and grammar. Correct punctuation? If you type in chatspeak, I will definitely deduct points from this star.

Fourth Star

Content. Depending on how long you've had your site, is there enough "meat" throughout ir? If you don't have enough content, people aren't going to want to delve into your site.

Fifth and Final Star

Sitely. Do you have a reasonable amount of affiliates for the size of your site? Enough (if any) link back buttons? Maybe a sister site?

Purple Xepru

In this review, I will tell you only the negative things about your site. I would really appriciate it if you took some of my suggestions and corrected your site up a bit. While I judge your site, I will try to find a lot of your mistakes... if there are a bunch. This includes grammar, spelling, some coding (if I know how to fix it...) and pixelled problems.

Fat Cat

If you would like me to proofread anything, use this review. Or if you want me to check and make sure all of your affies link back, this is definitely the review you should request.

Request

You MUST link back.
Please don't wait until I finish your review to link back, link to us the whole time. I take the time out of my day to do your review, so please realize that if you don't link back you'll go to the Wall Of Shame.

I'm sorry, but I can only review English sites.
I only speak English, therefore can only review sites in English. There's no option on my computer to translate, so once again, I apoligize.

Please use some of my advice, I have worked hard on your review.
If you get a perfect review, then of course, you don't need to follow what I say, because, to me, the site is perfect. You can request two reviews a month.

Please don't request when requests are closed.
Plain and simple; any requests while they are closed will be ignored. The magic word is Purple Plaid.

I only review in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Sorry if your site looks best in Safari, I just can't use any other. If some parts of your site don't work in Firefox or Internet Explorer, let me know.

I will review ANY site.
It doesn't matter if you want me to review an 'About Me' site or another Review site, I'll do it. Please just make sure you follow the other rules.
