Looking for honest opinions

[fuser00]

Hi, im fuser and i have a domain + site that need a review. I have a domain that i think is pretty good: lnxnews.com (linux news). I didnt want to show an empty domain if i put it on sale so i created a small site with automated linux news from many sites and it also has descriptions and links to all Linux Distributions.

The url is: www.lnxnews.com and www.lnxnews.com/distributions.html

First of all, do you think the domain is a good domain? I want to sell the domain and/or site so do you think the site is acceptable at least not to have an empty domain?

What about the site? Adsense is well blended so with a bit of SEO and traffic, it can get many clicks..

Thanks to everyone, fuser

I think I love the colour scheme. I've always thought black backgrounds were a little hacky, but it actually looks nice with the other colours you've chosen.

The page renders well without the Google Adwords, but it seems with the ads the page breaks up a little. Pic attached.

I'd also like to see better use of the realestate.. looks like page with is around 650px.. When doing a site fixed width, it's been kosher to design for 1024x768 for a while, IMO. The number of people using 800x600 has been dwindling steadily, and I think that market has accepted side scrolling. (Get a new monitor cheap-o's!)

Edit: Here's the image I was talking about.

Quite like the color scheme, though I'm not sure it suits Linux, and the open source movement. Also, it's quite hard to read the white writing. The logo you've got needs to be more relevant - it's got nothing to do with Linux or news.

It's a great idea though, and the site should add some good resale value to your domain. I think the domains fine, but it's not astonishing.

I love the color scheme and the site look nice but I think the layout should be centered

Layout: 7/10
Content: 6/10
Overall 6/10

---PROS---
Just wanna say wow!

I love the logo and the position of it. The color scheme is great, however i would change if from a straight black to a gradient. This helps with the flow of content and helps to lead a visitors eyes to the right places as it focuses on strong points.

Got a kick out of the old school hit counter,(dont really see them) but you know.. its retro.!!

---CONS----

I dont really understand the page title "minimal"

There is also no keywords or a description in the source of the page. I would ad one for SEO.

Off topic but, when i was viewing the site at the time there was advertisment for windows server management. Kind of poor ad placement by google you think?

Looks nice. Maybe you should move the logo/munu/links/ to the left a little bit.
