    I do like the website, the head however could be a little better.

    Also, I am not sure if you have a footer but possibly a footer navigation would be wonderful with this type of website.

    Teamed with a more "graphical" header targeted at your website content would also look nice.

    One thing I must credit you for is the fast loading of the website, I ping 64ms on that website and for me that is fairly decent. The website popped right up, no delay.

    Also the website had an error at the bottom, not sure what it was but appeared to be some type of hit counter error.

    Nice website, love the background!

    Nice clean lokking and clear site. I do agree with the above post though, you could use a more interesting header and logo.

    This text iv visible at the very bottom of the page:
    var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-3776419-1"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview();

    it looks professional and none flashy,u can clearly see what its about without climbing through things u dont need.the big question is if u were surfing for a site like this would it jump out at u as opposed to other pages.y not have a flashy site page and this professional site g page that links into the site,twice the chance to get noticed

    I was trying to try out their sitemap service... That is the exact code that they said I had to put on my site to use their service. I was afraid their spider would not see it if I fixed it.

    i'm using a different service, so i'm just going to remove it. Honestly, I had forgotten all about it.

    It was pretty much unanimous, I need to fix the header and logo to make it more appealing. I agree 100%. It could help direct people to perform an action on the site such as a search or a purchase. Which is the goal.

    Thanks everyone for recommending that. I will make that a high priority.

    I'll take a look at making a better bottom footer.

    Regarding the fast page loading. Personally, I hate waiting for a page to load. I love some of the flash, web 2.0 ajax controls, if not done properly they can add a little drag on pg load times. I've got to give some cred to hostgator too. I used to have it on ixwebhosting, but i did not see the same kind of performance as I'm now getting on HG.

    Food for thought: This site looks about the same on a mobile device, which is a great benefit- I don't have to support mobile device templates as well. Keeping it simple has advantages.

    Trivia; What do google, Yahoo.com, cnn.com all have in common other than having fantastic sites with high PR? Answer: White background to display text. When building a site, remember that people are trained to read with black text on a white background. That's my 2cents.

    I appreciate everyone's feedback!

    I like it. The fact that it is familiar looking in line with what we are used to seeing with classifieds.

    Easy to navigate, clean and professional. I think the header could a bit larger and I would probably include the diagonal lines of the header background as part of the entire background. Nice Work!
