    I started this website a few days ago and just populated it with content today. I am using wordpress in the background for ease of use. Reviews on content and layout would be great, but if you have any comments what so ever I would love to hear them.

    I would have to say the background is a bit bland but overall nice site. Maybe you could also make a better header? Just a suggestion.

    Overall rating 8.5/10 good concept and not alot wrong with it, good luck on the future of your website.

    Nice page, but I think logo can be better.

    Don't have any graphics design software to make a better header or logo...

    Will keep submitting quality content and hopefully the visitors will come. If I were to add more adsense, where would you advise I place it?

    Looks/sounds more like a internet marketing blog, not a business blog, good content though, quite like the design as well. Not bad. :)

    The best spot for more adsense in my opinion would be between the top tabs(home, finance your business, marketing etc...) and the lead article and recent articles. That's just my opinion on that though.

    Needs some work still, i think the header/logo could be improved a bit. I'd suggest looking at site that are similar in regard to content and picking up some design tips from them.

    Also the 'lead article' has "Continue reading" in it twice.

    I really like this site. It's smooth ;). The logo I think is pretty good, it's a little feathered on the edges. Just needs sharpened. When I first looked at the site I got the impression you were a magazine, which i think could work for you. The 3 colum layout is awesome. Keep posting content. Do not do a flash menu and IF you do make sure it's done right so the search engine bots can use it to navigate your site. I personally hate flash.

    What type of add would you recommend there?

    Also, as far as the header, any ideas on how I can get a logo created for free?

    I tried to make the site look like a magazine more then a blog, so I'm glad you mentioned that!

    I guess google adsense or you can post that, that spot is available for advertisments. And regarding the logo you can't really find any free logos but maybe you can post a logo contest in the Buy, Sell, trade forums and you can get one cheap there. Good luck, and if you need anymore of my opinions pm me =D

    Nice wordpress skin, very simple/clear & nice visually.

    Logo looks like an MS Paint accident. I would suggest creating or paying a $5 fee to someone on DP to make nice, unique logo with a white background.

    Content looks interesting so far.

    Personally not a big fan of the name, too long and even though your using two simple words its kinda hard to make out what it means "Smoothen Trep Reneur"? Im sure you get my point.

    I really like the theme
    Maybe more colour in the header
    If you are looking to monetize put in an aweber
    form, offer some quality free stuff and build your list
