    I wonder if you could take a look at my site and offer any advice - the site ranks quite well in google etc and has a steadily increasing number of visitors.

    would appreciate any advice as to getting people to post their sites/reviews etc - it's all free so I would expect people to post - especially if they have a site/business. It doesn' have a pagerank as of yet but hopefully once it has this will encourage people.

    Thanks

    There are two minor things that I noticed, firstly the bright orange header text on the green background, is a bit overwhelming and not very easy to read, I think the text would look better, were it white, like the text beneath it. Also, with the google pack button at the bottom, it creates rather a lot of unnecessary white space to its left, it might be better if you got one of the horizontal buttons instead of using the vertical one.

    Hopefully, when you start to get more traffic, then people will start posting, other than that you could try emphasising the text saying "You can also add..." For example making it bold, might bring it to peoples attention.

    - Change your UK Country Holidays to yellow.. because the orange and green makes it hard to read.
    - Add in a light grey background for your menu tables on the left and the right
    - Try incorporating photographs related to your niche in your site (www.sxc.hu is a great free resource)

    As the site has something to do with Travel so get a Custom Header or Logo Made for the Site
    The Left Navigation looks bit weird to me
