    Ok, so some background. I moved from DC to Houston earlier this year, and was having a hard time keeping where I applied and checking job listings when I came down. I decided to just put the links in a word file and work down the list from there. That become to cumbersome, after I had about 50 companies, so I added a page to my website (which was created for potential employers, and so I could see who was checking me out via the IP log, so I could see if my resume was being seen).

    Anyways, I got a job back in July and had the website sitting there doing nothing. I decided other people could use the site to find a job like I did. So I threw in some google ads, amazon affiliates ads and a search bar to what I had used.

    What I'm looking for is general suggestions on:
    (1) how to grow traffic to the site?
    (2) is the site easy to navigate? If not, how can I better organize?
    (3) how can I better optimize ads on the page to get better CPM? (Currently about 2.5%)
    (4) Are there broken or bad links?
    (5) Am I missing companies? (Geared toward Houston specifically, but Texas and the US)
    (6) Could I incorporate sponsor links into the site, like career blogs and such, without degrading the experience?
    (7) How do I get the google page rank up? Currently at PR1 (why?)

    Thank you all, and here is the link:
