Review a few Digg like sites....

[RTM]

Interested in design reviews (including usability, site performance speed) for the following social news aggregator sites. See how we've integrated monetisation elements suh as AdSense, AuctionAds, as well as Affiliate eBay RSS import feeds

Controversial.org is the most populated one, with 12,000 article links and even has a category for controversial domain names on eBay.

PaulineMarois.com is a popular one - a fan and news site for the current opposition leader of Quebec.

JeanCharest.org is also popular as it is all about news about Jean Charest, the current premier of Quebec.

Thanks in advance for all constructive comments and suggestions!

3x PLIGG setup as it comes out of the box. There hasn't really been anything done to give your sites personality and represent what you're setting out to do by using the domain name as an "announcement".
You have yet to add anything that would look like a logo, favicon, color composition, different templates, etc. to your sites, to make them different from one another. Basically, when you disregard the typing on the header, which currently acts as your logo, you have 3 identical sites.
This may function well for your purpose, but for us it means that there isn't really anything to review. This is by far not meant to be understood negatively. If it does work for you and your visitors, that's perfect. If not or if you believe that you could drive more traffic and visitor retention, then it might be a good idea to consider some of the suggestions made.

Best of luck with the 3 sites.
