    Like the general design.
    Good SEO work witht he "(city name) roommates" links at the bottom and appropriately named dirs.

    Appears all of your footer links (FAQ, Advertise.., Sign Up) are dead, referencing pages in the /states/ dir rather than /. dir.

    Would be nice if the thumbnail roommate picture on the main page was not distored.

    I concur!!!!!

    Overall I think your site looks quite pretty. Enough info on there, but not too crowded. Nice colours. Nice design. Pukka.

    Just that distorted picture should be sorted out. It makes her look like a wee umpa lumpa.

    which acquire links too quickly or become popular too fast. This is in order to prevent spammers to take over the SERPs. Some people call it speculation, but for me I am very sure it exists because I have many backlinks with very high PR, but no ranking for competitive keywords. It usually takes 3-6 months to get out.

    I never understood the reasoning behind making people feel stupid/ignorant because everyone is ignorant to begin with until they acquire the knowlege to understand. :)

    Good looking site. I would get rid of the Flash navigation and use text links. Maybe split up the nav somehow so not everything is onthe sam "level".
