Hey guys, thanks for all the comments. Tonight changed quite a lot on it taking in some of your feedback (only took me just over a month, shows how busy I am :P)
I made the design a lot cleaner and changed the content to increase keyword density. 'Article' and 'Articles' are pretty high now. Back links are up to 5100 according one one source and my Alexa rank is sitting at about 250k.
Getting a regular consistent stream of traffic, averaging about 60-80 article submissions per day. I am not emailing my authors because my bulk emailer isn't working. When I get that fixed and use it for the first time it should have a great impact on my traffic.
Going to rework the logo/header tomorrow.
Thanks again.
