    This is my newest acquisition. I'm looking for tips and pointers to make the site more presentable and to increase conversions. I realize there is much to do but I'd love to get people's first impressions. Please be as brutal as necessary.

    www.free-beer.net

    Thanks,

    mm, think there are really too much image ads, that's bugging me ab it , and the text could be formatted a little bit better .

    too much ads slowed your site.

    Personally, I'm annoyed by a mixture of font sizes.

    The Text in the Right Nav Bar seems a little too small. Maybe if you notch it up a px or two, it would help.

    What really caught my attention was [​IMG] when your rank is not #1 but #47 :)

    The site looks good so it seems that you've taken the advice offered. The blog doesn't appear to have a title - look at the blue bar at the top of the screen - it's an important one to have.

    Good luck with the blog. It looks fun!
