Disabling right click makes you look like a third-rate warez site. No successful site does this. Anyway, your code is MShItE-specific, and I use Mozilla. Similarly, you should do the rollover tooltips as DOM (open standard, supported by IE 5 and Mozilla) rather than (or as well as) proprietary MS code. The buttons are illegible. The font is difficult to read, and the buttons are too cramped. Same for the whole page: needs more whitespace. The directory section is doomed. You won't get any sites. Use the Open Directory content instead (http://dmoz.org). Until then remove it from the page: it will look less cluttered. Kill the top frame. We do not need a definition of 'hoboe' - this just wastes valuable space. Instead, have a bigger heading with some space around it. But remove the 'portable portal' text. The links below the search engine are too small and illegible - why them and the buttons? The whole site looks like a jumble of referral payment attempts - needs more organisation. [Note I might have got a (slightly) wrong picture of the site - any adverts on the site will have been filtered by my personal proxy server.] Basically don't spend too much on editorial, or you'll lose your money - just try to reap the referral and ad payments on as little investment as possible; you should accept that you won't get a large number of hits, so just make sure you don't lose too much on those you do. PS. I like your business model - make money off other sites, but just don't dilute it too much with your own work.
