Please Review: GetAds - Online Advertising Information

    Hi all,

    I've just uploaded the first version of my latest online project: GetAds.

    The aim of the site is to provide good information about different online advertisers (adsense, adbrite, clickbank etc). For each ad network there is a description, details about the minimum payout, and payment methods.

    The site is still at a fairly early stage. I want to add more advertisers, and also put up a guide that explains terms such as CPM, CPA etc.

    I'm hoping to monetize it via ad network referral programs, and affiliate links in the guide and description.

    Could any of you provide feedback on the site so far? I'm looking for any comments at all: layout, design, content, fundamental idea, absolutely anything that might help me make the site better.

    What do you think the best way to promote this site would be? PPC?

    Cheers!

    Good idea for the website. As you yourself have mentioned you really need to ad a lot more content, but the foundations are there.

    Design-wise i didn't like it at all. The colors scheme is not great, and i don't like the orange/brown color at all. also the header and logo could do with a make over.
    Another thing the whole site is a bit text heavy. No pictures at all. Maybe add some screenshots of the ad network?

    The lettering in the GETADS title seemed a bit too close for me...like is it GETADS or "GET ADS" Overall you've done a swell job on the site that I see. Why did one program have green stars rather than grey? Good luck. Advertising is a fierce field

    Thanks for all the feedback so far!

    I agree it needs some pictures. I think ad network screenshots are a great idea!

    Nobody seems to like the logo or color scheme - any suggestions?

    Also, I'm in the middle of writing the guide at the moment, so any comments on things that people think should be included are appreciated!

    Thanks again

    Great idea! The site looks good & it's easy to find the info I need.
    I really don't like the colors, though - but I guess that's a personal thing. ;) I can't may my finger on it, but maybe if the main text background was a little lighter...?)

    You might want to add some padding to your table.

    The texts are too close to the side of the table.

    you used cake (Y), great! i love cake (both real and digital). Try to make a fancier, bigger logo. As mentioned, you need to add lots of content. Perhaps you should also add an ad-exchange and link-exchange directory.

    I'm working on updating the logo at the minute. Based on your comments about the colours I've changed the background colour slightly, do you think it's a improvement?

    I've also added WidgetBucks. Any suggestions on other networks I should add?

    Thanks again!
