    http://www.mp3reviews.be

    Its a MP3 player review website, there is no real php in it, its all manual editing cause i cant code php and dont feel like getting a free script for it. Anyways the site was made mostly to get the best from the Chitika eMiniMall, so ill see how that goes. Not many of these review sites out there as I would have expected.

    The template was creating in like 10 minutes, the header is pretty unique i think, just found a mp3 player online and then added the site name and slogan into it :)

    try to get google adsense to blend into your content.
    chitika will soon launch text ads and u will have lower CTR.

    u can use the name of anyone in your family. But the cheque will be issued in his/her name. He/she can then transfer the money to you :)

    Header graphic does look good. I see it is 73k though. Loads fast enough on my cable connection but DSL and Dial Ups may not find it that way.

    You can cut the weight of the image by cropping off about 60 pixels of the white area on each end.

    Of course you would want to change the cell tag <td colspan="4"> to <td colspan="4" align=center> so the shorter image would still center.

    Then you could reduce your master table width to 750 instead of 801, which which would be much more friendly with people using a screen res of 800 X 600. On my 19" monitor it gives me a bottom scroll of about 1/4" and on my 17" monitor a bottom scroll of about 1/2". Of course this varies from system to system. Good rule of thumb is not to exceed 780 pixel width on your main table. That allows 20 for the scroll bar on the right.

    Of course this image:
    <td colspan="8" background="http://www.mp3reviews.be/images/image_01.gif" width="800" height="1"></td>
    <td>
    and any others would have to match your 750/780 table width.

    Browser stats indicate about 25% of net surfers are still using 800 X 600
    http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp << scroll down

    IMHO, the font-size: 10px is a bit small for easy reading @ 1024 X 768. Might want to consider increasing that to 11 or even 12.

    That's all I have for ya. Might make it load a little faster and be a little more user friendly for us ole half blind folks that use 800 X 600 ;)

    You have a lot of misspelled words in your reviews.

    Use Word when you write reviews and you wont have it misspelled in the future. Your design is great but it could improve a bit, make it will be easier to see the difference between each row at your tables etc.

    Nice job on cropping the image since I looked at it last :)
