    Hiya

    Could some of you please take the time to review my adsense site.

    Its designed to inform people who are interested in laser eye surgery about the procedure.

    The site can be found at www.freewebs.com/lasik

    Im after general critisism and any suggestions to make it better.

    I am also in need of a good domain so if anybody has any ideas.

    Thanks for your time.

    I think there needs to be more padding on the left and right side of the main content. The center text runs up to close to the Google ad block.

    Some images of eye surgery in progress would add to the pages.

    The content seems very generic.

    izzy- Site loads fast, generally clean and crisp! The only suggestion I have is co-ordinate your border colors to be more in tune with your site. I have found this little adjustment actually makes the ads seem as though they are part of your site...improving earnings. This can be done by using the custom pallettes in your adsense CP.

    I have also found better CTR using the 'leaderboard' banner positioned, horizontally at the top. You are allowed to run 3 units per page, so you could also add this and keep the 'skyscraper'

    Good luck!

    EDIT: Good eye Rob...this will risk getting BANNED from AS and G index!

    Izzy at the bottom of your page is this:
    You should get rid of it, text is same color as background and it will trigger ALL se's, pretty well! Are you sure you bought the site this way...as a template??? All domains in the hidden text are registered to the same owner, all contain hidden text and ALL appear similar :confused:.

    There not my sites so im not promoting them. il get them taken off.
    I take it the hidden keywords will attract visitors to my site but the search engines frown upon it and will punish me for it. Is that why i should take them of?

    Well I can spot something straight away - text alignment. You have it centralized on the first page yet aligned left elsewhere (or justified). Personally I think you should stick to left alignment throughout (or justified). Apart from that the information is where you want it.

    You need a logo up top of your page, and the layout looks just too plain.

    I had such text on one of my sites a few years ago and it actually boosted my hits from google. I got 100 hits per day. But Im not sure if this works today.

    it's called spam. might give you a short term gain but will eventually get you banned and you'd lose credibility amongst your peers.

    On the home page I think text align justify looks better.
