Awesome Ads

First Impressions
[note]========== BEGIN - First Impressions ==========[/note]
When I first visit Awesome Ads, I am greeted by a pleasant theme and an easy layout. I can find everything easily and quickly. The themes colors are pretty easy on the eyes, which is good. I see a plain/bland text logo. Overall, I get a good first impression.

Site Statistics
[note]========== BEGIN - Site Statistics ==========[/note]
You have 19 sites/forums/blogs listed in your directory, which isn't too bad considering the time you have been open. To increase this, I recommend buying some paid advertisements on other forums, websites, and blog. This will really help your site grow and you will get more submissions to your directory. You should also continue to promote your sites, here at Forum Promotion is a good place to start. You also might want to hold some sort of contest as an incentive for people to join Awesome Ads and submit their site.

Originality
[note]========== BEGIN - Originality ==========[/note]
I have seen directory sites before, but none configured the way yours is. You also feature forums, which is a good addition besides the normal website or blog directories. To be more original, I suggest buying a real domain name. Something like awesome-ads.com, awesomeads.com, awesome-ads.org, or awesomeads.org would be good. This shows other people that you are committed to the directory and it will also help with your search engine rankings and SEO. Right now, Awesome Ads being on a subdomain does not look the best. I also recommend adding a comment and like system. This would allow your community to interact with each other and would weave out ome of the bad sites.

Grammar & Spelling
[note]========== BEGIN - Grammar & Spelling ==========[/note]
There are a lot of mistakes with the directory listings, you should screen or edit each one after being submitted. This will help with errors. You do not correctly capitalize everything, remember that only the first letter of categories should be capitalised. You have some mistakes in your homepage message, they are corrected below:
Welcome to Awesome Ads, (remove the smiley face)
Feel free to add you website to our new directory! Awesome Ads is a website for your website, we have a directory to add your website! To add your website just simply click on add new website and fill out a quick form!
So once you have done that you have nothing to do, just sit back, relax and wait for some new members/visitors to come to your website! Also, please try suggesting new things and give your feedback on Awesome Ads by visiting our contact page.
We might add a forum later on, but we need some suggestion on categories. So we might get that up and running! What would be a great help as well would be for you to tell other people that you know that have websites because I am trying to build up Awesome Ads!
But this is all I can really say! (remove the big image- it's distracting)
Thank you,
(you should add your name here)
