Check out the redesign of one of my sites...

    This isn't exactly a website review. Just an invitation to check out the redesign of the www.nicefacts.com site. As you will see, in addition to the 1363 interesting facts it has before, now it also has 5325 famous birthdays, 6225 historical events, and 298 funny quotes all displayed in a very quickly and easily accessible manner.

    It's always good when you like to visit one of your own sites because you truly find the information there interesting. This is one of those for me. Hopefully it will be for you too.

    Hey.
    A nice change in the site there.
    But the adsense coulmn colour should be a bit lighter.

    Everything Else is Superb :D

    hi mystikmedia. the boxes style looks great, but there's one problem with it now. The content on your home page is not available for spidering. have you thought about that ?

    Personally, I do not like the use of iframes for content. SE don't appreciate it either.

    I do know about the content in the boxes being not spiderable. I'm going for the general terms for it for now. See how that goes. Thanks for everyone's comments.

    I feel you should have a recheck of the size of the homepage.
    It took loads of time for me to load it.
    Hope you get what i say google.com Vs MSN - People like Faster loading sites, so try to decrease the images size / number of images
    One more reason for this is G ads load up instantly and this makes the traffic come to know that these are ads and the CTR may go down.

    Well you must also keep in mind that the website is also nice looking. It's not supposed to be used google-style. ;)

    Total size is 39kb, thats not bad at all, your internet must be really slow amitpatel.
    Nice site mystik, I think you should throw in a 'make this my homepage' link somewhere on top, its one of those sites that some people will want to make a homepage

    the corners on the bottom 4 squares could look cleaner, they look pixelated. And the google ads definatly dont blend in.

    The site loads quick enough, but I personally don't like the design that much. I like sticking to the KISS philosophy, and to me this appears a little bling-bling.
    Take a hint from wikipedia.
    Just my two cents. :)
    But I love the content, you've got something going for you there.
