I have tweaked my site a bit and wanted a little feedback.
Tell me your thoughts....

What are you trying to do? Get people to use your site as a proxy or push as much advertising between a google search box and the actual URL bar as you possible can? The site is hopelessly overloaded and needs a second or eventually third look before the user realizes that they just put the URL into the Google search bar instead of the place where it really belongs.

Start looking around in the review board and look at other proxies, there are a few gems that came through here, yours is unfortunately not yet quite one of them. Doesn't mean that it couldn't be, though.

Opinions are welcome here and valued, that is why we are here, so thank you. As for the misleading URL search... The search box is labeled plain as day Google Search, so if people are typing in that box, rather than scrolling my site and seeing everything it has to offer, than I guess that would be good for me, lol! I feel that the ads are equally just, not overdone. This is really the first negative comment I have recieved for my new site. Hopefully, it will be a gem also... rflmao!

While i see your point about reading and the page and such; think about it for one sec: How many people really read manuals, instructions, walk throughs, etc? Yep,...there's your answer
