Please take a look at my site and give your honest opinion. Also this is not an attempt to spam so if your a moderator viewing this tread please don't remove. I just happen to have a link directory. I decided to change a few things starting with my top bar and the animation on the front page using swish for the flash design and php for the top bar. tell me what you guys think? Website Address

Quickly:
Good

• Nice domain name
• Nice overall design

Needs Work

• Titles don't change *except for the forum
• You could use more backlinks - Read this
• Tabbed navigation. - Tabs should change to indicate which page you are on. I know this isn't SEO related, but its important.
• Put a register link near the login. Again not SEO related, but good for usability.

looks nice.

i like the toolbar you have.. that's pretty neat.

i'll bet it's tough to get something like this off the ground with no pagerank though

also, it looks relatively healthy now, but i'm wondering if google won't slap you in the future for having all the title / descrip tags the same (ie... duplicate looking content) ...

i see the site has been around since june (or the domain i should say) - when did you actually develop it?

I like the look and description in the home page. It is inviting.

You have several spelling and grammer mistakes. For a site that has a look and description that is a "cut above" others like it...that takes away from the site; (first paragraph--technological) and some others.

Why are the links in the directory redirects? It only makes the links valueless.

Why are the links in the directory redirects? It only makes the links valueless.

I'm pretty sure she knows this

the directory ON the site is just a directory of link exchange candidates, not a specific area to get direct SEO benefits from the link. it's definitely a good move to keep the redirects on, so the site doesn't get slapped for becoming a link farm...
