Please let me know what you think. I only do this as a hobby so be nice :) I have made some changes since the last time that some of you may have looked at it. My site seems to be getting some major traffic according to the stats so I am getting concerned with how it looks. Thanks! BannerZap.com (http://www.bannerzap.com)

MUCH better than the previous design. No popups! I saw spelling errors, sponsers at the bottom should be sponsors, for example. Will your logo be changing like Google does, or will it be Christmas every day? ;)

Can you correct the width to fit 800x600 screen without scrolling? Change width="800" to width="100%". If there is still scrolling, it is because you have a few images in a row that is expanding the page and they may need to be resized.

Why should people use your directory instead of Google? Can you make an About Us page or something? Tell us what makes this site different? "Free Games, Live Chat, Streaming Radio & Much More!" Yeah, that must be it. Do you really have streaming radio on this host?

Overall, much improved index page. Okay, then I clicked to http://www.bannerzap.com/business/5business.html and the page has your logo somewhere other than the top left corner. How odd. I clicked the link to http://www.bannerzap.com/business/business2business1.html and all I saw was a page full of banners. And there are several animated banners on the same page. I wouldn't visit a site that has little more than ads. You should try more text links to describe the products or services. Some are affiliate links and others are not.

I don't like sites that don't have alot of original contents. Even if I visit once, I wouldn't revisit it. But that is my opinion. Even the free games are not original.

I am not trying to compete with any search engines or portals, on my level that would be impossible. I just have the site for my own fooling around with purposes. The games, radio and links are not original content, but they are fun an my visitors seem to keep coming back.

Thanks for taking you time to reveiw it for me, and I tried to fix the spelling errors :)

The only reason I mentioned original contents is that it is fun to see something new every time you revisit a website. And the first visit is the most important. For business or fun, you still want visitors or you wouldn't put your website on the Internet.

Do you have a digital camera to post pictures? You can also create a blog and post what's new in your life or on the website. I just like new and different stuff and not more of the same old thing. Surprise me! ;)

Seems a bit slow to load on my modem and is a bit too wide for 800x600. Otherwise, looks good. How do I add my site to the index? Good luck with it.

I think I fixed the site to make it look right in 800x600. Thanks for all your input.
