loads quick, doesnt look bad but I think it would look better if you try to move the google ads on the right so theres more spacing between your content and the ads

Yeah the google ads are a little too close. Personally i would make them deviate a little from your color scheme. At first glance I thought that was part of the site contents.

ok i made the nav links have a little space in between them, got the forum login working on any page of the site and messed with some color things here and there. still gotta ad a little space in between the google add bar and the content areas. its break time for now.

That's a rydium cookie, why would this site have one?

The two articles at "Over-clocking HQ" are "Cable Clean-up" and "Rebate How-To"

Good job. Really.


On first look the menu looked like a motto below the logo. I seriously had to stop and look for the menu before I realized that ugly BARELY READABLE text was the menu.


My Google Toolbar gives me the pop-up blocking "click." For a website with nothing to offer, you sure won't get people coming back with pop ups. Not only that, but your site is already laden with ads. Ads are bad unless your site is worth putting up with them for.

The writing quality on the site is high-school level at best, and as mentioned, the two things you have up there have NOTHING to do with over clocking.

And my comment in the first post about saying your layout isn't worth looking at... still stands.

The biggest joke of the site though is this: "WARNING: If your product sucks, I will be more than happy to tell everyone for you. Also if you charge an arm and leg... well lets just say your link won?t be the only one in the review."

BOY, YOU SURE ARE GONNA WIN OVER SPONSORS WITH THAT ONE! Why the hell would ANYONE sponsor an unproffessional website like yours with an attitude like that?

Overall this site is far from ready to have gone live.

get glasses... jk thanks for the input.

ps. the point of the site is to help the reader, not to help myself. if i only wanna have sponsors that are ok with my "attitude" then who cares, how would you like to read a review, buy the product, and then find out it was $25 bucks cheaper with free shipping somewhere else... I WOULDNT. not everyone on the planet knows how to find a deal.

and im not going for the next anand here, i just wanted to start a site that wouldnt lie. 56,000 hits and your one of about 3 people who honestly hate it. thats about 5.357 x 10 -3 percent of the readers so far. not bad in my book.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

My wires look like sh|t, but I don't really care. They're sitting down there and it's not going to improve performance or do anything *worth while* to clean them up. Read: it's just as efficient to leave them how they are now then going and buying new rounded cables, dusting, moving cables, taping them together, blah blah blah.
