    feel free to join forum, let me know if you face any issues.

    The blog has a generic look and feel to it, it does not look unique.

    - You should get a professional logo.

    - You should add some graphics into the header.

    For some reason I don't like the theme/skin. But that's just me. And I think Kingofsanda is right.

    The design looks very good if you change the header. Put categories for Adsense,Adbrite,etc aswell...and change the favicon.

    Edit the .htaccess file to redirect probloggerforum to www.probloggerforum. This helps prevent search engines from seeing your site twice.

    Edit the "Powered by VBulletin" site description - you are missing important keywords there.

    Get a new favicon besides the default vbulletin one.

    Edit guest permissions so they can not see members profiles - http://www.probloggerforum.net/member.php?u=7

    Get yourself a better theme. You can get free themes from here - http://www.themesbydesign.net/forums/

    The blue lettering has to go.

    Hey this one looks like DP to me except for those blue color link. Well what can I say... Even the font looks the same :)
    Also, you might want to look into changing your title text to help on the SEO. Something like what you can see when you arrive at DP main page at the top bar. "Internet marketing and...."

    All, again thanks a lot!

    Cruelio.com: I know it looks generic...some people may like and some may not....but I'm not able to find any good FREE style....still searching :)

    ~kev~ :
    1. I removed powered by vbulletin,
    2. changed favicon
    3. changed guest forum permissions
    4. Remove blue effect
    but not able to redirect from probloggerform to www.probloggerforum. still looking for solution....also still looking for better theme in the forum you suggested.
    .
    lycos: I dont want it to look it like DP :-( ....color combination, buttons etc I'm using are diff, I modified default theme provided by vbulletin so you may feel effect similar to DP.....but I'm still working on it and want it to look diff than DP :) btw, I changed forum title.

    Ecreation: I'm still looking for better skin but for free ;-) ...changed favicon.

    all, once again thanks a lot for your inputs...your inputs are helping me to make it better day by day!
