Only really have one thing to say well a couple. Nice site and might i suggest adding a .hovermenu to your links. It will be easier for those to hit the right link location than just to have a standard link.


Just a suggestion

My criticism would be to get someone who has a good grasp of English grammar to proofread the site first. You seem to have a site that you want people to take seriously so it should be presented professionally.

For example, learn about apostrophes -> http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_apost.html

Now we are totally realistic and do NOT advocate any get rich quick scheme's or promise you that you can earn £1000's a month (though this is possible for truly dedicated entrepreneur's).


Example two:
... building your sites and maybe even writing a few articles and pages in these subject's.

Apostrophes are NEVER to be used to denote plural, which is what you are trying to do with "schemes" and "entrepreneurs". You use an apostrophe to mean possession, like "the entrepreneur's wealth", or to contract a word (i.e. it's is IT IS and its is possessive)

With all these mistakes, it doesn't really convey a professional image which is what, I assume, you're aiming for.

Also, your line of "your total guide for building your own Profitable Internet Business" sounds very awkward. I think it should be "your total guide to" which is much more normal sounding (see google results). And not sure why Profitable Internet Business is capitalized, because those are not the kind of words you capitalize, but eh, whatevers. I'd drop the uppercase, personally. Though I do notice you have a lot of random capitalization throughout your site, as well...

Noted, Noted, Noted thanks guys, will review and take your comments on board.

Never was very good with grammar, left school at 14 - cue sob story LOL:biggrin:

Seriously all good advice will use in next update.

Thanks

PS. Also NOT good at spelling, so if you spot any obvious mistakes please tell me.

Edit: Also noting rockthecasbah's reference to the capitalization throughout the website, lol must have a twitchy little finger, looks like a good revision of all pages.:biggrin:

It's a good idea what you got, but is kind of poor of design.

If you want something that sells, need a pretty face!!

I think you have made your site too simple, it should contain something catchy or flashy because the first impression is the last impression. And why do you have so many ads?

Then here is where you start running into the do's and don'ts. It's nice to make a flashy website but will it stay functional and fast? If you start adding lots of flash and lots of this and thats the next thing you know is the pages start loading slower. There is a fine line between nice and catchy and over done lag laden website design. When people search for something and they come to your site you don't want them waiting. I hear more complaints about websites that albeit look great(when they finally do load) but man they take forever to load.Nice backgrounds that fit the websites agenda yet not over the top. I would add some nice color maybe even a white to blue gradient background.

Just a couple pointers. :)

Thanks Guys

Keep em coming, they are all being considered.

Note to alquimistabiologico - Pretty Face? What a (nearly) topless model or something?

Note to GamingX - Did'nt want to put anything flash or anything because of loading times, I tend to click off a site if it takes to long to load so applied the same reasoning to my design.
Also the reason for so many ads (tho I did'nt think there was that many) is because I am trying to see if it is possible to actually make an income from the website.:biggrin:

Note to Derek - Like what? content or extras like News Headlines, graphics, competitions and the like?

Note to Chris73 - Like the sound of that, gonna work on it.:biggrin:

The design can use some work, to make it more professional-looking, other than that it's good.

Well I think a simple way to "make it snazzier" but still keep it not too flashy or "MySpace-y" (since you are making a business type site, not a personal blog or something), is to use some CSS. You can google up CSS templates and work with some of the templates/coding, tweak it to your liking.

There are some nice free ones here: http://www.free-css-templates.com/free-templates.html
http://andreasviklund.com/templates/
http://www.oswd.org/
http://www.freecsstemplates.org/css-templates/
http://www.free-css-templates.co.uk/free-templates/page2.php

Of course, you don't have to completely rework the layout, you could also just add in some elements here and there WITHOUT touching your html index whatsoever (besides adding the CSS insertion in the < head > )

Lastly, if you want a nice easy way of checking over spelling, you could just copy and paste the text into your gmail compose box and check spelling. And TA DA! I think it might pick up grammar too, not sure though.

It's looking good, I especially like the content. The banner image, to be picky, doesn't look that professional though.
