    Hi,

    I have done a total redesign of my site. This is the 3rd total redesign since I made the site around 3 years ago. Could you please take a look to see what you think of the new design.

    URL: http://www.affiliateseeking.com

    Thanks!

    Site really looks good ..
    but you need to change the shape of the topic button at the top

    The text is quite organized for a site with so much content. However, you need to balance the text with some graphics/photographs so it'll be more appealing for visitors.. you can get free icons at: iconbase.com and photographs at sxc.hu

    Thanks, don't quite know what you mean by shape of the topic button. What topic button. Do you mean in the forums or somewhere else?

    Thanks very much.

    Thanks very much. I think icons is the thing that I need to do the finishing touches.

    The website looks great. It seems like it would be challenging to maintain...meaning, how do you keep track of the ones that disappear and the ones that are new? Ever thought about ranking system for the better affiliate programs?

    Anyway, great job!

    I have a ranking system in place so that the affiliate programs that I think are the best get ranked first, plus I use other statistical information about each affiliate programs website performance.

    Although a directory like this is hard to maintain as affiliate programs are not there forever, I have had this affiliate programs directory for well over nearly 3 years now and have maintained it alright so far. I also have software in place that I write so that it checks and gives me information if an affiliate program site is down or not. If it is down for a while then I can suspend it from the site.

    This site was just an affiliate programs directory, but it has now moved into different stuff like it has marketing related articles, affiliate software, webmaster forums, etc.

    Thanks for the good comments.

    I would like more though.

    I've now put money icons on the homepage.

    What do you think of it. Do you think the icons are the correct color or shall I change them so they are more blue. Dont' forget that I am trying to add a little color.

    The icons are nice! Yet it needs some more graphics in my opinion. Or maybe less text. There is a lot of information on the first page and it's quite difficult to read. Maybe switching your design to a standard width could help.

    I have it at the most used resolution width. So I think that is fine. I think there is quite a bit of information on the homepage, but compared to some sites that I see, mine has less than a majority of sites.

    Still would like more comments.

    I've now put 2 more images on the site. They are the 2 same images which are the larger money images wrapped around the "AffiliateSeeking.com" text near the top of the site.

    Do you think that is better and what do you think of them images. Do they look fine where they are?

    I've also now used 'p align="adjustify"' tag to adjustify the text between them 2 large images. Is that a safe html tag to use as I have a feeling that all browsers does not support it. If they don't all support it then will it just show it as if the tag was not there or would it make the text totally messed up?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the comments. On my computer it looks like I have taken some crayons and colored the site in. I think it's the best design I have done so far since my 6 years of designing.

    Still looking for other peoples comments and suggestions.

    Thanks!

    It's very nice and clean. Like the layout and the white light color scheme. Can't really find anything to complain about. Good work.. :)

    Nice looking directory site - very useful too.
    I would have the ability for users to sort by [whatever] informatin they're looking for (i.e. name, tiers, payout, etc).
