    Hi I really don't want a review of my site in general but ask if anyone has any suggestions of how I should show case my updates on the front page. Because i'm afraid that when I add something you can't really tell making it look like I haven't updated in a while?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could showcase my Article / Found on Ebay / and Picture updates?

    I would add a small date, that would obviously let people know the links are fresh. (April 7)

    I know you didn't ask, but: Honestly, you are matching the google ad text is so well, it is very hard to tell where to click and I know what I was looking for.

    A date is a good idea. A little "new" graphic or something would also do the trick. Regarding the Adsense, I think the fonts not matching exactly (Adsense font is smaller) makes things look a little off balance or something.

    Blending is fine unless it annoys your visitors. To really hit the big time, you need the same people coming back over and over in addition to new people.

    Yes, I suggest a small thumbnail for every new update, which makes it look different. :)

    Just put those "new" flashing gifs next to the new updates. Those always gets my attention. Simple and effective.

    For all the people who saw it earlier can you look at the new changes i've made and tell me what you think? (big changes)

    If you missed what my site looked like earlier just checked the google cache it looks similar.

    I like the improvements. I think the content looks current, that was the goal right?

    The date, and your new heading: RECENT ARTICLES & VIDEOS works!

    How ya doin' with the Adsense, MH? I'd think most of your revenue would be from the CPM banners...

    Averaging 3-4 bucks a day.

    I took out the Leader and Skyscraper Banners gained no clicks from them.

    Yah, especially skyscrapers, they're complete wastes of time. And people just look past the leaderboard nowadays. With your kind of site, I'd say CPM is your best bet for stable revenue.

    It's gonna be a little hard with Fastclick. Humor sites don't seem to have much luck getting into them. Tried Casale?

    I think logo is cool and header is ok. But the yellow is too bright to stay and read there for some time!

    I thought I made it clear, this is not a site in general review.
