    1. Too many AdSense at homepage
    2. It is a MFA site? You doesn't have your own content? Everything seems to be from Wikipedia and so.
    3. Design and layout is very poor.
    4. Maybe a RSS feed with new books info should be nice feature for your readers.

    Good luck.

    Nice idea, I had thought of doing one like it at one time. The concept is good but I would recommend writing some original articles to go on the site. All articles from somewhere else combined with all the ads will get you flagged as a made for adsense site.

    If you are not capable of writing original articles, I suggest you hire a good writer.
    The look is nice and the idea is great but don't let it slip into the category of a Spam site.

    Good Luck!

    There are so many Adsense, are you creating a web site for religion or a Adsense site with religion as an excuse?

    I try to make a religion site... Not a MFA site...

    I will add my own articles and text's in a week or two...

    You think is better to remove one of the skyscraper banners? Except in the first page that it looks like it has to many ads the other pages aren't ok?

    @ wisdomtool Adsense is just for a test, but soon I will change it... I know that it dosn't pay good in religion sites...
    @ Winagain It will been added soon...
    @ Maxiorel The text will be original in a fee weeks... This is not a MFA site... I'm just making test's of the look and the texts... I make the design really simply because the text is what is matters... Perhaps i should change it a little to make it more "catchy"

    Yes, I think there are too many ads on the homepage. You should choose one place to put ads.

    Hello BlackHumor

    I had a look at your website today.

    My Thoughts

    Domain Name
    Interesting name but not sure if it covers what you are offering properly.

    Logo & Header
    I think with the audience that you are trying to capture... your site deserves a well designed logo and header. You have an interesting favicon.... could you incorporate this as your logo?

    Your tag line could be touched up also.... 'books of most religions' just an idea... maybe others can throw some out there for BlackHumor.

    Template
    I think your site would do well in either a CMS or WordPress template.... this would make it easier for design purposes....

    Right now its quite plain... and it changes colors when you visit different page links.

    Navigation
    I'd recommend using the same color on each navigation button but maybe a symbol to go with each button? or just a solid general color...

    I tried all the top navigation links which all seem to work properly. I also tried a few other sub navigation menus and they seemed to fine also.

    Google Ads
    not to sure if google ads should go with a site about religion. Ummmmm.... it doesn't seem proper at the moment.... but try different options... Others may have ideas for different pay per click options....

    Link Exchange Page
    I'd recommend that you remove this page and as your site matures and you develop a network.... than add sites as friendly links or useful links... rather than advertising for such links... people can contact you through your Contact Us page...

    Contact Us page
    I think that a form would be useful here for your visitors.... rather than having people have to copy and paste your email addy or having their email client open up...

    Conclusion
    Overall.... very good idea... you will gain some interest and some disagreements.... good luck!

    This review was done using FireFox 2.0.0.9 on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this was helpful.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    Design is ok. Have you any thoughts on making a wiki-like web site for religions? I guess some users will add their content soon. Religion wars, etc :)

    @ Lhlalyam

    THANKS...
    What an excellent review... Thanks for your time...
    I will considering all of them, one by one...

    I first believe that a simple design will be better for a site like this... But perhaps a good design is what it needs after all...

    @ maxBDG
    I was try to avoid make a site that people will dissagree about religions because i don't thing I will get any good results from it... Perhaps in later I will add a small forum...

    I think after all I will use a CMS to make the site...

    Any other good ideas are always welcome of cource...
