    I don't think the add placement is bad, but I do believe you need a better logo.
    Something more original, it looks kind of bland.

    The logo is really bad. If you don't have the means to create or buy something better, go to dafont.com (or any free font sites) and spend a good hour going through to find something that looks very, very nice. Then play with it in PS a little, and just use that. It may not be exciting, but it will be clean and look elegant, instead of some lame web 2.0 reflection.

    Also, I guess you're trying to trick users into clicking the adsense by putting the submit button above it, but there's no money to be made that way if your site sucks and isn't unique anyways (I have no idea in your case, but) -- so make the site all it can be, and if people like it and keep coming, you won't need to trick them. In that case, I'd put the banners above the search so their eyes at least have to go past it.

    I like it. Good work. I think it would look better moving the search button to the same level as the input boxes. That way, it fills the space up horizontally and could well match the width of the adsense unit. :)

    Hello Nilgesz.

    I had a quick peek at your site. Very simple and to the point website. I looked at this site from a newbie point of view.

    My Thoughts

    Domain Name
    Excellent domain name for your search engine. It is unfortunate that the .com domain is not available... which would make your work even more valuable. Mind you... it seems the expiration is Aug. 2008 for the .com!

    Logo
    Simple enough but I think that it deserves a better one... with a slogan to go with it... I think the slogan will give a brief description of what the search engine is for! a newbie thing!

    Search Engine
    The engine works but it seems difficult to know what it has found. I typed in 'Wings' and got all sort of items.... mostly ads it seems. Hmmmm... little disappointing when it found nothing for 'pchabitat'. ;)

    Conclusion
    Over all the site is good. I think that it just needs some minor touch ups and a descriptive slogan.

    This review was done with FireFox 2.0.0.7 on PClinuxOS 2007.

    I hope this helps you.
    Respectfully.
