    I don't like those banners on your main page. If it's an online store you should have products in the main page. Those banners affect your store's credibility.

    Well basically your site is all about advertisements and nothing else and I can't seem to find any content to attract anyone to stay for long. Visitors will easily get annoyed with it.

    Your first link took to long to load therefore I clicked the X. I'd get this fixed if I were you as most people would not bother waiting and miss out on something good.

    There are quite a few advertisements especially on the main page - if they are primarily link exchanges, id suggest looking for smaller banners (buttons for example) - However once inside the categories, they are well laid out.

    well, i think the top section of the site looks great.. the logo is not bad even though i don't understand that text.. the color combination is also good.. however, i think you can remove though banners and rather put three or four tables so you can add more articles.. as it is right now! i give you 6/10.. i'll check back later!.. good luck :)

    thanks :D

    possible to let me know what type of articles should i put on the main page to replace the banner?
    where could I put those banners as the visitors would know where to find these banners?
    should I put alexa rank widget on my page as well?


    hope someone could let me know :(

    well, your website looks great.. you have great stuffs in there but i just reviewed the home page.. the categories look fine and decent but the too many banners on the home page is rather making it uninviting..so maybe you can put something interesting in their place.. anything you think will do.. good luck..:)

    would it be better to get those rotating banners which I will put them on top of the page?
    and put some products on main page?

    I agree with most of what has been said. The first thing that caught my attention was the array of banners in the center. You should maybe place the deals of the day there instead, or some sort of product placement.

    Also when I clicked a product to get more info, I was interrupted by a full page ad. This alone would make me shop elsewhere. I think you have focused more on the advertisements than the products. Most shoppers will find this annoying, I would think the real money is to be made off the product not advertisements.. especially since the site is a "mall".

    Hope this helps and good luck.
