is there something I'm doing wrong?

Also you have lots of text all linked and that is hard to read. You also use black as link color, and IMHO black and white are text colors, not link colors. Using blue and red (as for an example) as link colors maybe be a bore but surfers see them as link colors and click more. Also if you have black as bgcolor yellow is perfect link color. In BDSM sites with black bgcolor I recommend red as link color. Also I don't understand why some webmasters use red links in blue bg and blue links in black bg. Very hard to read.

Think about using graphics for logo, enter, gallery and back links. They make your site more original, and while enter link loads surfer may see your ads first. Doing graphics is not so difficult as you may think, there is many programs that are easy to use. I use PhotoImpact and PhotoShop. First one is cheap, other one is expensive as hell, but I have light version I got with video edit software.

I don't know if you're a newbie or not (I started 1998 and I feel like newbie most mornings still) so don't get mad from my opinions, they are just something I wrote at 6am in a horrible flu I got from my wife after some mugs of hot water, sugar and vodka.

i'm trying to make my site load faster, thats why i never bother photoshoping, though I could and have to years.

Well, most LL accept me I submit to about 120. Yeah, after that last site, I'm changing layouts soon. I just been buidling different color schemes.

well, I'm gonna do a whole overhaul for my next layout. More large text, less essays, heh. I'll jazz up the color as well, been using mostly muted colors
