Not a bad site. I would like to see it centered. I checked the site out in Expression Web's compability checker and found 236 errors on the site, mostly from older html standards which are outdated. Website Grader did not find meta tag keywords. You will have to install meta tag keywords and this will help your site. The header at the top of the website could stand out better in a different color. This might draw the viewers eyes upward and then to you menu bar. The site is well laid out. Like my site, we all have room to grow. I did not see a rank with google. You will have to work google to eventually get a ranking. Google is not the all in all, but a google rank does help. Keep up the good work.

OK Marquis,
Need to look at your navigation menu, it is causing a horizontal scroll on my 1024 width browser.
The content is all sitting to the left, this would be better if it were centered in the window.
Consider also making the text and background colors have more contrast, the gray text is on the difficult side to read.
Can't quite place my finger on it but there is something about all the different colors that just doesn't look quite right, maybe somebody else will have something about this.
Maybe place your welcome paragraph just below the menu. This is the first thing that a visitor will see when the page displays.
Lastly, you have 461 code problems on the home page alone.
Example;
You have your navigation links code as
Code: html
<a href="home.html" class="tertiary" target="_self"><h3>HOME</h3></a>
The h3 tags need to be before and after the hyperlink
Code: html
<h3><a href="home.html" class="tertiary" target="_self">HOME</a></h3>
Make sure you are using the alt attribute for all the images.
You have a lot of empty attributes <tr align="" valign=""> This should be <tr>
Need to identify the javascript tags
Code:
You have:
<script language="javaScript">
Should be;
<script type="text/javascript">

empty - I take it you are working on it
The navigation bar - I would make it symetrical - Ie so that every tab has the same ammount of space ( as it has gone into 2 rows I think that it would look better linned up instead of overlapping)
The colours a wee bit to light for me
and should be centred
Keep up the good work

Thanks for the reviews,I just finished doing some upgrades, I took some of you guys advise because you had some of the same ideas I had,I just wanted some feed back first
I would like to see it centered
Done, I was thinking the same thing
Consider also making the text and background colors have more contrast
Also done. If some of you feel like it can you go back to the site and tell me what you think about the upgrades.
Thanks again

Hi looking better
Would centre justify the whole page on screen - Personal preference on how a site sits
Nav bar is better
David
<<in my opinion>> unfortunately its not a site of much value since all i could see is just affiliate ads - i mean - i dont see the point for anyone to go to this page - unless the user happens to fall on a page and sees something of interest.
the design is fine, however the site looks way too cluttered,
the ads under the google search could be centre aligned, looks better
i like this site user friendly easy to navergate to

You moved the navigation to the left, eliminating the horizontal scroll,
unfortunately I have to stick to my original comments.
