Rule #1 of graphics (what I was taught) make it bigger than you need, then reduce it down. NEVER stretch a small graphic to make it bigger.

Unless it is animated, you never want to use a gif. That is a very, very compressed format. jpg or png will give you a much nicer look with much less pixelation and color loss.

Gifs - if the image has alot of colors, shades, etc, use jpeg. If the image is composed of say 2 colors, use gif.

Ads - If you're building a site to generate some bookmarkers, I'd avoid using too many ads on the warning page (see LOR's root). All depends on how sticky your site is...if people aren't coming back, or not going any deeper than the warning page, hell, post some ads there.

Like others said, I have no clue what your site is offering. Write some text or something and explain what people will get out of your site.
