What did you build this freesite for? If you built it to receive curious surfers not looking for anything specific, you've done that. (newbies - there is a purpose for making sites like these, and it's not for sales)

on the main page, I'd put a border around the middle ad, or put some space between the top and middle ad. Text makes it seem like one ad.

Also, thumbnail type banners may not get you listed.

You have a lot to learn Grasshopper

I can make a free site in about 10 minutes, but normally I take about the 2 hours that everyone above seems to take. Mainly because I like making them, and it breaks up the rest of the mundane clicking links, type of stuff we all do.

Yeah, I know I've got a lot to learn
I like the border idea, it would make the ad stand out more. I might even put the top ad with the thumbs inside a light blue table? And if I can't use thumbnail type banners I can't see it being very effective for what I want it to do.

And as to why I made it, yeah, I don't really care if it makes any sales, I want to drive traffic mostly to the top ad on the main page and to the bottom ad on the main page. The top one is a long term project I started about 3 months ago that gets a lot of bookmarkers, the bottom one is my link list which has always got a lot of bookmarkersl. I'm thinking the more exposure they get the better for me in the long run. Anything else, if it sells its a bonus.
