    U might make the top description with smallar fonts. Unrelevent meta keyword are there. Search Engines may lower you rankings if they find

    Although you have background selector - I would start with White. Speaking of color aesthetics, if you allow the user to change the background, then change other colors too - contrast is terrible if blue, black green is selected.

    Good idea, just play with some primary colors (the rainbow colors are primary colors incase you don't know what are primary colors).

    Goodluck...

    the meta tags are now fixed to fit the site category

    I played with the colors a little bit and made the table background changes with the site background


    any more hints about the layout ?

    Much better. Nice and clean. Comments: Excellent layout.

    Add more content based on your Meta Keyword tag. Include your KW in content - increase the density - but don't overstuff it. I didn't go through entire code but just make sure there are no missing tags, etc.

    Why do you have -             ?

    Crawler will not like it. Try to use CSS in a separate file - you will get rid of unnecessary code and will improve code to content ratio as well.

    It's very clean and straight forward. My question is how do you intend to monitize the site?

    actually there is not more to add in the content in such kind o site

    it's just image hosting, what kind of content can be there ? (if u mean text content )

    about the      

    how can i make the spacing in the CSS ?

    if i remove the      

    then the nav menu goes to the far right ( outside the border )

    how can i replace the       by some spacing in the CSS file ?

    i'm glad u liked the design, the first one was bad but i got one of my friends to do this one for me and ppl liked it more

    however, i needed some reviews since nothing is perfect anyways

    monitizing ? it's Adsense monitized and it's covering the hosting fees so far

    i'm trying to advertise more to get more traffic and hense more money, if u have some advice shoot it :)


    thanks guys for your reviews

    CSS, everything is layers. So you define a layer with margins. And that is how you position text.

    so if u have a menu inside tables u can define in ur css

    .menu-table { ..... }
    .menu-tr { .... }
    .menu-td { .... }

    And in your htm file do this
    <div id="menu-table"> 
      <div id="menu-tr"> 
        <div id="menu-td">text</div>
        <div id="menu-td">text</div>
        <div id="menu-td">text</div>
      </div>
    </div>
    Code (markup):
    And in your CSS define margins to position the text from the border of the Cell, etc....

    A bit time consuming but very nice code.

    Create a seperate CSS file and import it in your html/php. This will result in lot less code and you will improve content to text ratio. SEs like content more then code. They all say CONTENT IS KING.

    Good luck

    Hi,
    I believe that the problem here is the script and not the actual design. You might want to use a better script rather than updating the design.
    Just to show you what I'm talking about. Have a look at those -more experienced- sites and see what are their options when it comes to linking images.
    I run a free image host too so I believe I know what I'm talking about :)
    But don't take my word for it.. compare your results with other sites...
