    I've been working to improve this site.

    Your Credit Guide is a website dedicated to Credit, Loan and Mortgage information and news. All articles are original. It also has affilliate links to apply for credit cards, mortgages, credit reports and so on.

    I also made a Bookstore part of the site, dealing with Credit and Mortgage books.

    One strange thing, all the pages have PR - except the homepage???

    While Im at it - everyone is invited to exchange links. Visit THIS PAGE to do so. The link pages are all PR 3+.

    SO - opinions, critique, suggestions, comments - please feel free everyone... Let me know what you all think....

    The central links weren't all working. I assume they are to articles as you mentioned. For me personally the colour grey was too predominant, though it is a serious issue site, and I can see that it would want to have a serious feel.

    I like it, but more articles and information would be beneficial. Currently, considering the amount of information you have, I think you are pushing too many affiliate links.

    As for the layout, some of the lines didn't match up with the .gif bars. That can be easily fixed by making fixed width side tables and leave the overall site as a percentage.

    Other than that, looks real good. IMHO

    Too gray. It kinda looks threadbare, somehow, with the gray background.

    I also think you need to invest in a professionally made banner for the top and believe the site would benefit from being held within a css wrapper or a table to contain it from 100% page width. That way, your prospective ad-clickers are that bit closer with the cursor ;)
