[fried-chicken]

hi,

just re-made my travel site. I've added some affilates, which i've never done before.

Ive done $7ish whilst making the site! thanks to traffic from msn and adsense.

any way tell me what you think.

also if any one wants to exchange travel links with me just pm or leave a mess here. [not got link management script on there yet so maybe a couple days.]

link in sig,

cheers

Adsense x3?? that's a bit overkill IMO. the left hand skyscraper is totally out of frame and the one to the right is overlapping content and headliners.
FireFox 2.0.0.6

The site is generally built differently that most others, the logo, nav bar, etc. it's not adding up all the day. Look at repositioning items and content to make it a more organized site.
Colors are sunny and fresh, i'm missing some Key West and beach images, same goes for everglades, scuba diving, jetskiing, night life,...action.

If you already made some money with the site, focusing on better presentation and more visuals should actually get you even more.

Adsense as said before, is way in over kill. I'd pull the left side adsense, just get rid of it, i think it well keep it cleaner and simpler this way.

Personly i am not hating the design i like the header, navagation and such just the grunge text is it. Switch that to somthing a bit cleaner.

On content i recommend linking to atractions ect to help incress the usefulness of the site.

While he said changing things back it up, if you don't get clicks ect with a different design IF you do change designs make sure you have the old one because it is making money.

Overkill on the google ads. It looks like your filling in the layout borders with ads. I'm running a 20" wide screen @ 1024 x 768 and the layout just fits. Believe it or not there are a few 600 x 800 users around. You have an overlapping problem due to the skyscrapers.

The original layout (with out skyscrapers) would be better. IMHO. You could run a second ad placement near the bottom. I don't care for the "salmon" menu color and feel the color used in the palm trees would better fit.

The support pages are void of any content or links, other than your comments, that the viewer may enjoy or find helpful.( Municipalities, Historical facts or blurbs, Medical services, Maps, pics etc.) If you open a separate browser with your links you will remain on the users desktop and not loose them to your outgoing links.

The link named shop links to some real estate ads and is a bit misleading to this visitor. "SHOP" to me means malls or stores.

Another item I agree should be addresses is the lack of beautiful Florida Photos. Florida is one of the more attractive places and I think you may be ignoring a valuable sensory enticement ...the oooo's and aaaaahhhh's from the viewer. (And I would love to see some "Light blue" in the overall design)

Over all it's a great start minus the skyscrappers. I like all but the "salmon" color in the layout scheme. I think you are in a great market to build upon.

Of course I am not a professional website designer and these are are all humble opinions. Good luck and much success to you.
