    Hi,

    1. The first time, it was slow to load. As I scrolled down, all of a sudden it said "Jump" and went to some laser spine institute page with an affiliate ID in the URL. It would not let me get back to your site.

    The next few times, it loaded without any delay and this "jump" never happened again. Not sure what that was about.

    2. Is this a British site? The Google ads are all for UK sites is why I ask.
    3. Is there a reason you are using blogger.com rather than getting your own domain? Seems like a domain would be much better.
    4. The header and your sponsor ads are pretty large, so when you click on the tabs, there is no way to tell if the page changed without scrolling down. You might want to consider make the stuff above the fold a little smaller so the viewer will see the screen change with the various tabs.
    5. Most of the tabs have a rollover function with a description of what is in that tab - except for PC Doctor. I'd suggest adding a rollover description on that tab as well for consistency.
    6. What is "Your Link" for? It doesn't say and doesn't go anywhere. Same with "More"
    7. Just me personally, having the "got chrome" banner follow me down the page is irritating. If you want to do that, please add an option to close it for some of us who would prefer to do that. I want to see what I'm reading and not be interrupted by some banner chasing me on every page - covering up some of the text as well.
    8. Good mix of text and graphics - breaks up the monotony of the text. Good job!

    The only other thing is to really urge you to get your own domain and add a Wordpress blog rather than using blogger.com. For one thing, read their TOS carefully. They own you!

    Way too many ads. The one that scrolls with the page needs to be removed.. gah... Like the poster above, I kept getting redirected as well. That's a pretty lame practice, stop. You want people to visit your page and stay there, then come back again. Your site has so many oppertunities for the user to leave, but so few to stay.

    I had to scroll alllll the way down the page to see the archive. Throw some links up to other posts around the top of the page. Link to the best posts. Give the user a reason to stay.

    The design is good. I'd say it was easy to navigate, but ... the ads.

    First of all Thanks a lot for studying my site so well!!!
    I am working on your suggestions.
    One thing what i cannot find out is the reason for the redirection.
    But when i open my site from my computer i don't get redirected.
    Few days before my entrecard account was deleted because of this reason.
    Is it because of any ad service i am using???
    Please help me!

    I have removed the CEOads from my site.
    Please check and let me know, weather it is still redirecting or not!
    Thanks

    I have a feeling you might have to clear your cache and then go to the site to make it happen. I have firefox set to delete all cookies when I close, so it has to have something to do with a first-time visit. It happened to me again just now (this time it went to YellowPages.com).

    You might also print out the source code and see if you can find the problem there. Looks like it's some sort of "hidden computer trick!!" and not one you want. :eek:
