Just started a new website for funny images of animals (cats, dogs, birds...) called www.greatfunnyanimals.com
Can you please give some feedback on how you find it? Thanks!

You could take the ONE picture out that represents your content and replace it with another ad, then you're closing full circle to show a site that's 100% ads. :td:
On each and every picture, the voice coming on with "you've been selected to receive....". This is about the pinnacle of annoyance and will drive users away before they get to the 3rd picture. If you're lucky and the user has turned the sound down or off, they might make it to the 5th picture before they get annoyed with your ad overload.
Under normal circumstances i try to find at least one positive thing to say about a site, in your case, the only thing i can suggest is a redesign, refocusing on what's important and what you're trying to achieve/convey and give the user actually an option to look at content, not ads.

Best of luck!

I think the concept of the webpage is great and will definitely pick up a lot of visitors. I really don't mind the ads so much, but I have to agree that the audio is what would make me leave the site pretty quickly. Imagine if someone is browsing the page at work and then all of a sudden that voice comes blaring across the speakers.

I think the design itself is actually quite nice with the bubbled headers and the rounded edges, but the sheer number of ads makes it look more cluttered and not as polished as the design really could be. If you want to maintain the number of ads that you currently have, it might help with the overall look to keep them in the columns on either side, and not have them right under the picture. It will open up the page and may help it look a bit cleaner.

Good luck.

Holy Moly Guacamole! Way too many ads for my liking, I almost closed the site, but then i remembered that I'm reviewing it :p
It's a great domain for a site with great potential. I like the design very much, if it could be expanded.
There's really no much to talk about here other than that you have way too many ads, I would replace a bunch with some more content.

I don't seem to be getting the voice of the ads that the others have talked about.. but overall I think although it is very ad-heavy its a decent site. One thing I would recommend is to change the 'next picture' button as I think its quite ugly, try to work in something that looks like your 'add to favourites' button or the blue of the categories

good luck with it

What I don't understand is this is a site for funny animal pictures...so why am I seeing a naked girl's butt in the add at the bottom?

If I were coming to your site for the intended content and saw that, I'd close it out. Know your audience.
