    Change the font in the logo to make it more readable. I think should be also consistent with fonts in the text, it will help you to blend ads.

    Good start, but as per all sites, needs time, work and feedback from visitors to improve:

    1. use your own search as well as google...

    2. use mod rewrites for you URLS, e.g.

    http://www.egati.com/art/animation instead of
    http://www.egati.com/catdisplay.php?categoryid=19

    3. Ad positioning
    In your listings, try a 300*250 google ad before the listings commence and after the listings commence. this should assist with google earnings

    4. Page rank...
    keep building on this, you need at least a GPR of 5 to get SEO working for you

    5. Look and Feed / Content
    If you are positioning yourself as a World Directory, might pay to have separate sections for US, UK, Major Euro countries and Asia

    Hope this helps

    I don't like the logo and the site seems to have a lot going on.

    If the logo was smaller then the header could be smaller and would bring the text up. I'm also not sure what the site is about.
