    Here is a live link: http://geoflip.com/

    its too empty. Maybe use a background or something and add some hover effect to the links

    Sorry don't like it. There is no indication what the site is about or why I should stay there. Even the articles look like ads so I feel like I don't want to click them.

    Personally I would leave without clicking anything. What is the point of the site? (other than genereating Google clicks)

    i agree with the above post. not to keen on this website. It does have great ad layout that's for sure, but there isn't in it much for the user. Lot's of navigation through all those categories. Maybe you can find a niche among them or get rid of a few. maybe even two columns? or by letter?

    If this is an article submission site, you need to improve its layout. Also, the fonts you've used are not appropriate. The site needs a lot of effort put in to make it look better. Good Luck.

    Is this a made for adsense site? Too many ads and your design is too plain with too many menus. Confusing site? What is ur theme any way?

    definitely has an MFA feel to it.. the content area is quite bar as in there's too much white background there... I would give it more of a layout structure by adding background colors to your left and right menu.

    Currently you still have some work on it, but I'm quite sure you can make it a lot better.
    Your header isn't too bad, only absolutely remove that search box! It really flunks the whole header. If you want a search box, add it to a left/right menu, but not over the header!

    Like what was said, also make the site wider. I don't care too much for the ads. It are a lot of ads, but if you make the site wider, and the ads stay the same, it isn't a problem for me.

    Next to that, at the homepage you get immediatly all categories. That's no good for a news site. I'ld remove it from the homepage, and make a second page "categories". That way, the latest news is shown immediatly on the homepage, and that makes people more quickly would go back to your site.
    About the categories: do it in 2 or 3 columns, don't use <ul> lists but simply work with new category on each line. Or use some other ul image.

    You should also work a bit more on SEO if you want to earn money with your site. Your ads are absolutely not targeted. When I visit a news website, I am not interested in "lesbian chat", "asian girl dating" or something similar ;)

    So, there is still a lot of work, but it can be done!
    Hope this helps you a bit.

    I agree to others .. its too much empty and also too much content in one page.. too large.. you can separate them into 2-3 pages.. also too many ads there.. if you could divide them into 2-3 pages and add some color it will be great.. sites content is really good... best of luck mate...
