OK, here goes.

I've done 3 reviews and will be doing a few more later, but now it's my turn.

Please give me your honest opinion about the look and speed of my search engine.

BTW it's a pay per click search engine, so searching is ok, but please don't click on the sites you find unless you really want to go to them. People have paid money for those sites to be listed on my site and i don't want to be short changing people.
You are OK to search tho !

Thanks.

Hi,

good looking site you've got there, colours are easy on the eyes and the speed is pretty good on this side (Netherlands). I'm not to sure on the white outlining on the logo as well as the green outline on the other header text. That's about the only thing i'm less keen on. Also, you might want to change those smilies on the main page into folders to give it a more proffesional look as i reckon the site is aimed torward adult visitors. All in all i would use the site as it's not disturbing and isn't too cluttered. I hope this review was helpfull

Hi Tiesto,

Thanks for that. I'll see what i can do about the smilies. I was goint to add a christmas theme to it anyway, but i think you've got a good point about giving it a more proffesional look by removing the smilies and changing them to folders.

Thanks.

New Age Search Engine, nice colors, good speed. The only thing I noticed is those red triangles you use for bullets -- IMO i would change the color - they grab my eye and I find a bit annoying -- just my opinion though! Overall nice job

It has a very nice feel to it. Great color choices, i love the striped effect in the menu's and the top masthead. I would suggest that you make the search field a bigger size, there is still a lot of available space to the right and left of it.

Also on a very specific note i would keep an eye on Hitrocket check often make sure you're still listed, with me all of a sudden and with no email i was not on thier list but i was sending traffic. But it could have been just a misunderstanding on thier part.
