    Honestly? Looks like a spam site. The Amazon and Adsense ads slap you in the face, and leave me to only hit the back button to get outta there quick.

    Try to integrate the ads into your content in a less obtrusive way.

    I take it you made this site for arbitrage only? If not, it is way too heavy on the ads and needs more content.

    Hi, nice topic.

    The only thing is that I've seem many sites with similar design to your site.

    Another thing that throws people off is that amazon ads are showing games instead of college related products.

    As i noticed in comments above, it looks like a spam site, one of those you go to when mistyping a url.

    Need to style the links for a start, text larger, line spacing taller.

    The first thing noticed is the google search and amazon products which is why it looks like a spam site, you need to make the text the focus of attention.

    I have to agree with reyna. I think you used an mfa template which is why your site looks like a spam one. Now don't get me wrong but if you are looking to create an information site for good reasons than i suggest you use another template. Good content though - just needs to be presented better

    should the current logo be changed or does it fit with the site?

    First thing: design a new header that suits your niche instead of using that generic one ;)

    I like it, good job. The banner is eye-catching, at least for me.
