I red the whole thread and you have had quite a work to be done but hey ive viewed your site and its Cleaner and none of the previous problem existed so Congratulations...
I agree that sooner or later people would support your site coz as far as I know, brands that are quite good but has lesser budget for advertising doesn't appear in mainstream search engine. With google being number one which is the engine being used by yahoo too.
Congrats and I hope your site will take off and be as big as them but I hope youll remain lowest priced(free) in the future...

Nice color theme. I think it would be harder design wise but I think it would look better if you kept the table format and displayed the search results like the main page rather then the classic interface. In any case, nice looking site. Good Luck !

I made many modifications to my site in the past few weeks. The biggest would be the addition of a blog service. If anyone has the time could you please take another look at my site and tell me if you are having any problems such as the page width, colors etc...

P.S.) Somebody told me they are having a problem understanding what the main purpose of my site is quickly (as in when they first hit the main page) does anyone else experience that? How could I fix this?

heartsaffection,

I will make a slight modification soon to the "Add a Link" process. In the future instead of a large drop down box, users can simply browse to their desired category and click the "Add a Link" button. Then the category you browsed to will be automatically placed in the Add a Link Form.

Yes, I agree it is good to have a well organised site, however could I suggest that you have a number of drop down boxes rather than just the one? For example you have a drop down box to select your country, then another to select the business type, then a further on to finally narrow down?

This would make it much simpler for the user than 8000+ options all in one drop down box. As you will see - I ended up posting my site as a middle eastern site - whoops! I posted it again, and I think I just posted it to 'M' for matchmaking? Am I correct that you have maybe 1000 options for say 'A' but only one for 'M'?

Just a thought anyway.

Hello, JP Stones

I agree about the logo. I am working very hard to develop something better. The color scheme will probably be updated. I just need to decide on which colors I like. The reason why I picked the colors I did was because I wanted my site to have a color scheme that will distinguish it from other sites of the same genre. You are correct about the weather service I actually forgot to update that so the user knows that it must be a US Zip Code. I really did not want to use Google Ads on the site. At the moment, I am waiting for approvals from other Advertising Companies so I can replace the Google Ads.

> The possible bug you are talking about is that during an Image Search or some other part of the site?

heartsaffection,

It is true that NowBot has a lot of categories (8000+). This is to better organize the directory. It is a little time consuming to have to browse the directory's categories to suggest a site but I believe webmasters will benifit from this.

okay

hi everyone

the most important aspect for a search site is the usability rather than the design in my opinion

think google which found simplicity was vital and overtook sites like altavista which were trying to be all to all people

on that note its clean and for the most part easy to use

id make the logo a home link. and i agree with othe people you need a new new logo. it needs more presence.

not sure i like the colour scheme, its just a but palid

the weather check doesnt specify its US till the second attempt

the

is it a wise idea to have google ads on your site

POSSIBLE BUG if you only get one result it stil lets you click page 2,3,4,5,6 links which is silly

heartsaffection — Sat, 23 Apr 2005 09:48:43 +0000

A very big point - if you are expecting people to add their own link, cut down drastically on the number of categories available. I literally spent 20 minutes trying to work out where to post my site to.
