I have just created a brand new classified ads website called PoundAd: http://www.PoundAd.co.uk. Please post comments and ideas, they will be greatly received.

Hello,

Very nice work. It�s clear you�ve put a lot into it. I like your implementation of the Quick Search bar, the top navigation is easy enough to follow and most importantly the site looks clean.

In Safari your top bar doesn�t display quite right. The lower part of the bar appears a little higher than it should.

The Classified Ad Divisions I find a little confusing simply because one side uses colors and fades and the other side doesn�t. To me it seems like �Charity� is an extension of �AdPages�, �Clubs & Teams� and extension of �AutoAd� etc. Maybe putting borders around each category or including colors and fades to the right side could help. Once easily distinguished I would also bring them closer together.

I feel there are too many New Listings shown on the home page making the page too long. Maybe limit the number of ads shown from 10 to 5.

Lastly, the navigation at the bottom of your page is a little jumbled. �Tell a Friend� spans two rows and your copyright looks like a just another link. Maybe lessening the space between each link and dropping your copyright by one row could make this look a little tidier.

All these points aside, great job.

Hi Mango,

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to take a look through my website, your points are very fair and I intend to work on them asap. The problem is I am a bit of a one man band and modifications are quite time consuming while trying to hold down a regular job!

My biggest problem is the marketing and promotion of my site, I have a very limited budget. I am working very hard to get my page to the top of Google and am on about the fourth page for the keyword "classified ads" as we speak.

Any more comments or advice would be very well received.
