    Hi All,

    I've revived a site that I've left for almost 4 years. It started out as a hobby.

    Did some new design & layout to it and will of course continue to grow it.

    Criticism is good..:eek: . but Please give me ways to improve my site after your critism. :)

    ie. Layout, Contents, anything. My site: selfhelpfreak.50webs.com

    Thanx in advance.

    For me, i think the site is very much lack of content as a self help website, you might need to put some effort to increase the number of articles there.

    By the way, the Google Adsense on the homepage is nicely blend with the pictures above it, it's proven one of the best ways to increase CTR. :)

    It's also spammy as hell and will piss off your users because it looks like links into your site.

    If you intend your site to be useful do you want to send them away so quickly?

    I like the site. Very clear and clean layout IMHO.
    I like the adsense implementation, and do not personally think it is spammy.
    The content looks nice enough, but I would certainly recommend adding MORE of it. (I think the "new articles" and "goodies" section at the bottom of the page should have something added to them ASAP as the empty boxes make the site look unfinished...)

    :) Geir

    The site looks too plain, and also i just clicked on a google adlink in the middle of your home page b/c i thought it was part of the Navigation system - not sure if you were trying for that or not.

    It is too simple.
    Why don't you put other type of adsense on it ? You have a lot of white space on right side.
    For some high content you can visit hotarticles.net
