    Quick glance: Seems a bit uninviting to me. Bit static/uncolourful. Could do with a picture of some hot travel destination IMO.

    Also the underlined text which turns out not to be a link is confusing and gives me a headache reading. A bit more space between each feature like Before You Go & Airline... would be better too.

    SEO wise... No Backlinks listed in Google yet so work on that.

    It would be nice to have a a link to the homepage on the Logo. This is good for usability. Just a hint. :)

    I like the layout, but not for this kind of site

    It shoudl entice me to go on holiday.
    I know colour schemes are diffuclt (well to me they are)
    but maybe try to work in a orangey colour scheme as the blue grey looks very clinical

    :)

    I'll leave seo comments to those better qualified, but speaking as a surfer, if I came across this site through regular means, I would have passed it by thinking it a directory or affiliate link page at first glance. The info is good, but customer attention needs to be grabbed. To me, underlined text means it is probably a link. It is confusing and difficult to read when everything is underlined like it is presently. That said, I do plan to bookmark it and read more articles later. :)

    Content is really good but as others have said the presentation of it really needs to be spiced up.

    Why is all the text of the actual article underlined?

    Especially since you have multiple websites, you might want to consider buying a subscription to http://www.boxedart.com/ for $50 you get access to an insane number of templates to quickly give your sites some polish. I have joined and have a few sites in development with their templates.

    Also, and again esp. because you have multiple sites, please check out my site for finding links exchanges ... http://www.seopark.com

    Sorry, I posted my first response in haste.

    I'd suggest that you write original articles rather than taking them from other websites, or at least put a link to the website you are using the information from.

    Same as others. You need to make it look attractive and spicy if you can. Other things are nice and good. Thanks keep it up.

    just look at the date....its more than 1 year. I'd abandoned the site for a long time.

    @ Windows-Update-Advisor - why do you digging all my old thread and replying to it?

    Is this the same person who digged up shoemoney's threads too?

    Windows-update-advisor there is a date at the top of every post on the left.
    Site reviews from a year ago are probably not worth your time. ;)
