    Trying to balance ads and fun content. I don't want my visitors leaving my site too fast before they get to explore the site. Any suggestions to optimize ads or content?

    More content above the page fold. Users often won't scroll down the page if they don't see something interesting right at the top.

    I love the show, but it actually took me one full minute before I even realized that's what the site is about!!! It isn't obvious that the website is about the show. I thought the site was about Jello at first! :) Put something in the top left that will make it really clear what the site is about. Maybe move the photos of the cast (on the left) higher up so people see them sooner. The top banner doesn't really remind me of the show. Maybe you need to use dunder mifflin logo or something that people will associate.

    Good Luck!

    Steve9 is correct. :) Good suggestions!

    Your idea is cool! Just need to add something to the banner for people to recognize that it's about the show. But good job! Keep it up! :)

    Looks nice. Here are a few suggestions:

    1. Reduce the google ad to half the size under the first posting.
    2. Go for 1 less column it will look cleaner and there is just empty space after the first few posts.
    3. The fonts on the top menu don't look good on my screen they are very thin.

    The page looks a little light on my screen. It could be better if reducing to 2 columns.
