    Hello,

    I believe i have a premium domain name and would love to here some comments and suggestions.

    I just launched it last night so it definately is empty but i'm hoping for some organic traffic. I'm still updating the site with more categories and descriptions so please do think it is final.

    Please let me know...join if you think it has potential

    Hi P,

    Very nice site. I really like the colors. The are very calming. The logo is very good as well. I don't think I would concern myself too much with coming up with a bunch of unique categories right now. You are off to a good start as far as that goes. I would re-direct my focus on promoting the site and getting members. Once you have the site membership built up I am sure you will have no shortage of suggestions for new categories.

    Thanks,
    AC

    I like it. I think it may be too light on the eyes but that's just my opinion. Great concept though.

    nice site, I like the layout. As for promotion (though i'm not a wizard in this) I noticed that I got a load of nice links and uv's out of the signature links as I asked everybody who used it to put a link back.

    Hello piggedy,

    Congratulations. You have a nice growth rate :)

    I think the domain helps a lot. I hope you continue your exponential growth and rise it.

    Keep up the site promotion and congratulations again!
