Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Today it is all about saving money and finding good items that works exactly like premium items that might cost twice as expensive. Splashrate is a social networking website that is integrated to with a lot of things but mostly products. They do have videos, polls as well as product reviews available for the visitors of this website.

The products that are shown here range from a wide array of categories such as computers, entertainments, toys and many more. Some of these products aren’t very famous but they do work just as good as the famous products.

Through the help of a few Joomla extensions, the webmaster of this website was able to create a community based site. It allows members to share videos, photos as well as interact in some of the many polls available on the website.

However, a good thing to note is that the positions of the advertisements are very poor. These are located at places where people will definitely not stumble upon them. In fact, these should be placed above the fold so that it would gain a lot more visibility.

Splashrate has a very interesting design and very eye-catchy as well. It is definitely worth to check it out.
