    So I used to sell a wholesale list, but I decided I would probably make more money if I made the information available and increased traffic dramatically. Then I could profit from advertising.

    Please review everything from layout and colors, to usabillity and content. Thanks.

    Hey, has great potential. I think making the borders and stuff more "web 2.0" like would be great...as in shininess. Right now you've got boxes of one solid color - making it shiny or a gradient or something would make it look much better.

    The chick looks a bit grainy, I think the tradeoff in download speed is not worth it.

    Hmm... choose a more outstanding background color as well.

    great looking site. but you should tell visitor more about the list they will buy. what's it look like or contain in the list.

    what are those categories for ? or just for giveing some example of wholesaler you will provide?

    i only point out about content of the site. design already good. ^^

    could be useful but you should show pics that cater more to the wholesaler instead of consumer

    I want to make some changes with this site, including adding more adsense. I just want to run some ideas by the forum before I spend the time and act upon them

    1) I want to remove the left menu from the index page, but leave them on all the other pages. Is this a bad idea? Does it make the site less fluid? The reason I want to do this is so I can free up room on the index page for ad space. Also, with the main categories already on the index page, I feel like the left menu is just wasted space.

    2) I want to add some ads to my category pages. I guess the prime spots are above the title, between some random sources, at the bottom, and possibly to the left or right of the text. Now the only thing I could put to the left or right of the text would be a tall banner ad, but for the other spots, would banners or text links be more profitable?

    I still need feedback on this. Not sure how to go about that. People say it looks weird to have the same content on the main content area as in the main menu. I dont know how to go about solve that problem.

    Since my last post I also added some adsense and cleaned up the layout by lining up the divs evenly. Any more suggestions?

    My most useful category is, by far, the Closeouts section. I want people to realize that and make sure they look there. In the menu I put a "Most Popular" tag, but I dont know how it looks and I need opinions. Thanks

    In my endless quest to perfect this site, I decided that I really need to change things up because I am not happy with the current design. First, I think some of the sources here are useless, I just added them to make sure all the pages had content. Secondly, the only useful category, I feel, is the closeouts category since it offers all types of products and has the best, true, wholesale deals.

    This is what I want to do: Put all of the sources on one page, and add a rating system to that page. How does that sound? I have been looking for a free rating script that would work like that, but I couldnt find one. Suggestions?

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help thus far.

    I was thinking it over, and then I thought about the user that is searching for something specific. How would someone find, say, a clothing source, with that new design? What should I do?
