    Before the site loaded I saw something like "free classified ads" (plain text, blank page) and then the whole layout loaded. Was that intentional?

    Anyways, my suggestion is to extend your header's width a bit because your right bar is kind of stinking out...

    P.S: The menu design looks very neat :)

    Yeah, I saw the free classified ads free ads before the layout loaded and behind the blue background after the layour loaded. I liked how you intregated your forum into your site and the forum feed is cool.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions! That free classified ads free ads wasnt exactly intentional, but now im having a hard time locating it in my sites code. Guess i'll have to try harder.
    I was going to try taking the menu out, and just using the links along the top of the page. Im thinking some users might get confused as to where to go on the site to post ads.

    I would get rid of the text before the page loading - google probably won't like that.

    Also, perhaps remove the feeds - make them static?

    Just my $0.02,

    Very neat and tidy site. The scrolling speed of the feed is too fast (on FF that is). Just my thoughts. And all the best for 2007!

    remove the words free classifying ads, google might think you try to spamm the keyword, cause I still can see the words if I block all the pages.

    Blend your ads in the bottom, change the red border into white.

    I can't see your security code, something wrong ?
    Phew ... so much for meta keyword ...

    Really not bad for a ad site. Looks real organized. I agree though that you should remove the white page with text that shows before the site loads. Are you getting alot of hits?

    Logo is not readable. Colors are annoying. Centered content is not easy to read either. In Firefox the right section headers are not aligned properly with the blocks.

    very clean site and organized. I only found the scrolling on the home page to be a little distracting, but other than that...it looks great to me.:)

    Thank you, yeah so far pretty much everyone is finding the scroller distracting. I am going to take it off and see what happens.

    I dont understand why the logo is not readable. Thats the first I have heard about it. I like the colors-so they are staying....
