I like it, but my first instinct was to click on the ads beneath the banner rather than at the top. If possible, you might want to move those Google ads either way at the top, or better yet at the bottom. Nice job overall!
The link is not working here and it gives error message-You tried to access the address http://www.explorenewyork.info/, which is currently unavailable.Check it out.
Site looks good but your adwords look like the main links on the site, but I suppose that may help create revenue
the site is very well for explore the new york city with shopping, places, landmark and any other good looking places and design, colour theme, picture, articles is very well well done
I like the pictures. But it make me like flying around NY. Why dont put some pictures at NY street or ground? Maybe you can show the nice place like a park or great building in Bronx or NY view when snow fall...and in close view? One last thing. The ads banner with red background seems unmatch with overall site design. The fresh green is more match. Its okay, generally you're great. nice blog.
I think your text logo could be more professional looking. I also don't like the AdSense ads in the nav bar. First, they don't seem to be at all relevant to the site's content (not sure why), so I doubt you're getting many click-throughs. Second, it makes your actual nav bar on the right get lost. So as a casual user of your site, I think you just have one article and that's it. You want users to explore your site, so make sure your other articles are more prominently featured.
Like site but the background could be a little lighter. Also I almost clicked on the ad links thinking they were navigation. Might want to move those to a different place. Good Luck.
