    Looks like you went a bit crazy with Adsense!

    Why do you move the 10 Commandments and Articles to the right side of the huge logo, shorten the size of the logo and fit it all in 2 columns.

    Then make the bottom section an adsense banner

    The "Articles about Jim Cramer" links don't link.

    Probably use a bit more colour on the page also

    Hi TCR,

    I like the idea of your site.

    Things that I think you could improve (it looks like you're still working on it, so I apologize if you're already planning on making these changes):

    1. The forum (if you don't want to spend money try starting out with PHPBB--it's pretty good for free)

    2. I'm not 100% on the legalities, but having "Cramer" in the URL could potentially get you into some infringement trouble if the site gets big and/or they are stringent on their copyrights.

    3. I feel like there's no content on the main page; just ads and links. Maybe add blurbs showing the first few sentences of the latest three articles or something like that.

    The articles about jim Cramer is a heading, the links are below. That lower middle adsense unit doesnt do as well as the one on the top, that one does great though, I knid of want the ads above the fold...hmmm, I like your ideas, perhaps a test page for a few days?

    Thanks for the forum tip. I have no idea about them, they came with the hosting pkg.

    I do not know about the legalities either, though I do see others with similar sites...I should check into it.

    You are correct about the content issue..something I have been wrestling with as I do not do editorial content.

    Thanks for the objective pov
