    Hey everyone,

    Ok I have finally made a site from the awesome forex domain I have.

    www.TheForexNews.com

    Please let me know what you all think. Any problems Loading, errors, and what not.

    Thanks, I really appreciate it!

    I like your site. Colors fit your niche perfectly. It's very clean and professionally done. It's also easy to navigate and has planty of guidance for someone who is totally new to the subject.

    I'd only try and blend Google Ads a bit more. I'd make the first lines black just like headers of your copy.

    Other than that, I think, you did a great job!

    Hey thanks, I really appreciate that!

    Yea, my adsense colors/placement sucks big time.

    So, you are saying on the sidebar, I should have the title black?

    Thanks again :)

    I think the side bar AdSense is a good placement. What you can do is - make AdSense and your copy text look almost identical. For example, make AdSense headers black. But they still won't look like your text. I'd go to your own text copy and make your headers the size of AdSense headers (font size 2). Also make your copy headers them bold, just like AdSense. Your text looks the same colour as your AdSense ads text. So this is a good match.

    What if you place some horizontal AdSense ads inbetween the sections of your main text. If you blend them in very well, I believe you will be getting lots of clicks.

    cheers,

    Nice web 2.0 styled header! The over all layout looks very organized, however it is a bit plain. What I would add is a gradient black background to your site.

    Looks good mate and I would agree with the comment above about needing a background.

    Did you make the videos yourself?

    Some of the videos I made my self, some I just got of other websites I talk with and exchange info with.

    OK, I dont understand what you mean by a back ground. :(

    Do you mean the outer parts of the page, or the WHOLE background?

    Thanks, appreciate it!
