    Hey nice site, but there is a color variation on the list logo's and the page background color.
    the layout of your site is simple yet makes a lot of sense.
    Overall great design.

    Love your site, and I really mean it. It's very colourful with intuitive UI and the provided essential information. The logo is also great

    I agree about the necessity to pay enough attention to the SEO aspect

    Hey we just spoke on chat, good adage to the site. Cool concept, I think the buy it now area should pop out more though. Thats what you want people to click so it should stand out.

    Well, my gut reaction is "hey, look at the scam" -- but that's because in my experience paid visits usually just results in getting either slapped down, or destroying the usefulness of a site by filling it up with spam posts or similar. Needing to pay for views is like paying a SEO "expert" to black-hat the page; it's dumping a can of shellac on a pile...

    But, that said, looking at the site itself it's got all the classic accessibility foibles... from the 'crappy little stripe' fixed width that's uselessly small on my desktop but too big for my netbook, to the absurdly undersized px metric fonts that make me have to zoom in 50% or more just to make them legible, to the illegible color contrasts of grey-on-grey or white-on-neon blue, to the complete lack of ability to navigate the headings.

    It is however a nice and peppy site -- the code isn't too big, it's not full of idiotic 'javascript for nothing', nor is it overburdened by massive images for nothing. The only real issue under the hood is the complete lack of anything even remotely resembling semantic markup! The 'Everything is a DIV' approach makes me wonder just exactly what WYSIWYG you used, since anyone who knows HTML wouldn't write code that way. If anything, the use of presentational classes and sheer number of DIV makes it look like some automated tool took 1996 style HTML 3.2 and turned it into X1 tranny by just substituting tags deprecated in strict for divs with classes -- completely missing the point. Even though you have a miniscule 11k of markup, that's for only 1.17k of actual text and less than five actual content images -- meaning you've still got about 30% more markup than you should need.

    MOST of that can be blamed on those div for nothing and use of presentational classes... though the use of images for content is why images off or CSS off the page is a disaster -- zero graceful degradation. A LOT of the things you're adding using IMG tags, like those little red arrows, probably belong in the CSS since they're presentation, not content.

    Just to give you an example of what I mean, where you have this:
    
    <div class="main-wrapper">
    <div class="top-back">
    <div class="internal-wrapper">
    <div id="logo"><img src="images/ur-views-logo.png" alt="#" /></div>
    <div id="right-panel">
    <div style="float: left; width: 3px"><img src="images/menu-line.png" alt="#" /></div><a href="index.html" class="top-menu">Home</a> <a href="faq.html" class="top-menu">FAQ</a><a href="processing.html" class="top-menu">Processing</a> <a href="contactus.html" class="top-menu">Contact Us </a></div></div></div>
    <div class="cltr"></div>
    <div class="blue-back">
    <div class="white-glow-back">
    <div class="internal-wrapper">
    <div align="center" style="padding: 20px"><img src="images/top-text.png" alt="#" /></div>
    <div class="box-back">
    <div class="top-black-text" align="center">
                                25,000</div>
    <div class="red-arrow"><img src="images/tou-tube-icon.png" alt="#" /></div>
    <div class="youtube-text">
                                YouTube Views</div>
    <div class="cltr"></div>
    <div style="height: 12px"></div>
    <div align="center"><span class="dollar-sign"><sup>$</sup></span><span class="price-sign">45</span></div>
    <div class="cltr"></div>
    <div style="height: 10px"></div>
    <div align="center" class="bottom-black-text">
                                Delivered Within 20 Days<br />
                                or faster</div>
    <div class="cltr"></div>
    <div style="height: 25px"></div>
    <div align="center"><a href="processing.html?mode=45"><img src="images/tryitnow-btrn.png" border="0" alt="#" /></a></div>
    <div class="cltr"></div>
    <div style="height: 20px"></div>
    <div class="white-text-bottom" align="center">
                                $1.80 per 1000 views</div></div>
    
    Code (markup):
    If I were writing that, it would look more like this.

    
    <div class="widthWrapper">
    	<h1>
    		<span>ur-views<span><!-- image replacement --></span></span>
    	</h1>
    
    	<ul id="mainMenu">
    		<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    		<li><a href="faq.html">FAQ</a></li>
    		<li><a href="processing.html">Processing</a></li>
    		<li><a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a></li>
    	</ul>
    <!-- .widthWrapper --></div>
    
    <div class="homeBanner"><div class="widthWrapper">
    
    	<h2>
    		Get Guaranteed Youtube Views Now
    		<span>-</span>
    		<small>
    			100% Money Back Guarantee
    		</small>
    	</h2>
    	
    	<div class="subSection">
    		<h3>
    			25,000
    			<span>YouTube Views</span>
    		</h3>
    		<p>
    			<strong>$45 <span> - </span></strong>
    			Delivered in 20 or less days
    		</p>
    		<a href="processing.html?mode=45">
    			Buy It Now!
    			<span><!-- image replacement --></span>
    		</a>
    		$1.80 per 1000 views
    	</div>
    
    Code (markup):
    Because that's all that's really needed there... and even with the indenting and comments left in place it's HALF the code. 866 bytes vs. 1.65k. Do not use images for text, Do not put images that are presentation in the markup, do not use presentational classes saying what something should look like, and do not wrap every last element in a DIV... you've got 27 div in that section alone doing the job of four -- with nothing to tell people on screen readers, people navigating via headers (like I do in Opera), or search engines exactly what any of your content actually is.

    Pitch it and start over, using semantic markup and separation of presentation from content. HTML is for saying what things ARE, not what they look like.

    I like your idea for a logo. I visited your site, and I love what you have done.
    Site is very professional and has a nice corporate look. The colors match well and the whole site loaded in about 5 sec.
