>Urgent!!!

Urgent for you, maybe. Definitely not urgent for me, nor will I respond to this topic any faster than I would any other one.

>please visit it, review it

The background of the page is, well... not professional, especially the way it changes from page to page. Having the image of the product you're reviewing repeat all over the page, or having flames follow the mouse cursor is the absolute worst thing you could possibly do to a web page.

Not to mention that the writing of the "articles" is extremely poor, often consisting entirely of a big blob of text that seems to remotely bear the resemblance of a paragraph.

And the photos you provide are hotlinked from other sites, which is bad for several reasons: firstly, hotlinking an image is considered very bad netiquette on the web. How would you like it if someone started stealing your site's bandwidth? Secondly, you depend solely on their providing the image. If they decide to change the image (or perhaps remove it), the results can sometimes be very embarrassing. Lastly, and most importantly, hotlinking images which don't otherwise provide a free-use license would be crossing legal boundaries. For example, in one article you hotlinked to a CNet image that had a copyright notice at the bottom of the image. In this case, it's not only wrong to hotlink it, it's wrong to use it on your site without prior permission from CNet. Likewise for any other image that you've taken from another site unless the site specifically gives a license permitting the use of the images on other sites.

Edit: er... perhaps that was a little harsh. My intention wasn't to say that your site is horrible, it just needs a lot of work. I'm not going to link to any site unless it truly is quality (and those sites take years to build up that kind of valuable content). I do wish you well in creating this site.

I suggest that if you want people to click on your adwords, that you do some page optimization to get relevant ads.

On your product reviews page, the ads that showed up for me were:

CRM Comparison and Reviews
Colon Cleansing Scams
Consumer Product Reviews
Smooth Elliptical Reviews

Now one of the three appeared relevant to the page, but I just don't see how the Colon Cleansing scams was relevant.

thats just my 2 cents, to help you improve your 2 cents from adsense.

Just out of curiosity, I tried to visit your website, and it came up "OOPS! Website not found!" Good luck and keep working on it!
