What I'm after: Reviews about the layout and navigation and ways to make it more appealing

What I'm not after: "This site is spam!" "I hate oranges!" "How many links are there?" "Mac or PC?"

I appreciate all reviews :great:

Hi,

First of all i will be truthful my eyes always tend to ignore banners and ad's so when i went to the site it took me some time to focus on something and it happned to be the logo of the site which is nice.

95 Cents Is quite cheap indeed...the buy page is quite straught forward..but i was wondering if its 95 cents and i pay by paypal what are you left with?

I see you have sold many links how many do you plan to sell?

While the content is certainly there, it's actually too much content to be easily "digestible". The site is hopelessly overloaded, which has a negative impact on design and functionality.
I'd suggest categorization and start selling the main page as prime realty and each category as an additional advertising area. This may be difficult though since you already seem to have sold spots.

Nav sections like: Main Summary 1

Main Summary 2

Geographic Distribution

Absolute Unique Visitors

Should be visually emphasized - buttons of the same design as the top nav would help and give the site visual conformity.

URL'D AdExposure Tips should be in a help section or a section that outlines your version of SEO. You could certainly use the added free space if you remove them from the current spot.

GREAT! idea with the mouse rollover previews!

Overall, the concept is pretty good, the presentation is overloaded, though and lacks some of the functionality that one would expect. This gets to say that sometimes categorization and sub sites are actually helping the cause.

Hope this helps in any way.
