    @jbiloh said: Right now the "Latest LET Deal #1" ... "Latest LET Deal #2" is generated in the code (overlay on top of the image for SEO purposes). We can of course remove that text overlay.

    Not an SEO expert, but wouldn't adding an alt for the image, give the same effect for search engines?

    Yes of course but Google bot does read images and since this link is referring to the forum It would enhance the rank of the long tail keyword "Latest LET Deal" and also for "LET Deal".

    Ask the hosting provider for the promo image. Just like what they do with Google advertisement or Social Media.

    If they are not able to give you a proper promo image, then they are not worthy of being promoted?

    This section of LowEndBox's home page is auto generated from the most recent OFFER threads on LowEndTalk.

    You should also layer over the forum avatar from the offer thread somewhere on it, would make the images more distinct instead of the generic header image thing this gives off.

    I agree with that, it will give it a better look. Not only the same image for all deals.

    Here's a minimal & modern design I put together just now:

    I'll research the viability us grabbing the avatar.

    Another design for the required image that's also taking UX into consideration.

    That would be a custom WordPress plugin that is capable of bypassing cloudflare or white-listed to scrape LET, fetch the avatar, and use a layout to generate a custom image each time.. :#

    Or you can use any psd source submitted, edit it, and add the company's logo/avatar which is easier than investing into developing a plugin that might be buggy/insecure.

    I think we should categorize what a Deal is, the rest should be called Offers.
