Like I have previously stated(offtopic in another forum), I believe the colors you have choosen are not 'eye candy'. I wouldn't think about spending money on the internet unless I am 100% sure the company who says what they are doing, is for real.

My impression of your site is that you just started up, and any real investments into the PPC would be a poor decision, seeing that you only have a few web sites on your directory, PLUS, nowhere do you state how many hits you receive on your site.

Your server is very slow with its search. I download over 600kb/s on this computer, and it took like 10 seconds for the search page to search for 'Web Design'.

I noticed IPowerWeb was listed under Web Design. How is it that Hosting is listed under the phrase Web Design?

It is a good start, but I wouldn't go public until you make your visitors feel comfortable with buying what you offer.

Couple more notes:

After I visit any page, how do I get back to the home page?

Contact Us link:
NEVER Have a navigation structure that is mostly made up of links to more pages, have a link to an e-mail address.

This has to be one of the most annoying things on your page. After I saw that, I know for sure I wouldn't think abotu contacting you.
Suggestion: Replace it with a link to a page that has the contact e-mail listed. Also add a small form that lets your visitors contact you.

Your phrase on How DataMine works page:
Sounds like it needs to be re-worded.

Lastly, you have Google ads on your PPC page?!?!?!?

Banners galore!!!!

The site layout is ok. I like it a little bit more than the review above. However, there are still many flaws.

How does someone tell the difference between a link, and regular text? To me there is no way to tell. I get annoyed when I accidently click on the page in the middle of a paragraph and stumble upon a link that I never knew was their.

The bold font under, Showcase Categories, References, How do I Find a Host?, and so forth. Should be changed to Tahoma 9pt. It would look a LOT better that way. And would appeal to a lot more people.

Under: http://www.foundhost.com/unix.htm
Your alignment of your text should be re-thought. I suggest you make each link in its own cell.

(Still on the same page, towards the bottom) The neat box with "Shared Web Hosting Dedicated Servers Reseller Hosting" has a yellowish background for the top cell. I would take that out, and use the same color as the background of your main table (white).

(Same place) At the footer of the page, Cheap Web Hosts, needs to have a different font, as well as be spaced more away from the left of the footer cell.

http://www.foundhost.com/contactus.htm needs an online form that someone can submit directly to your e-mail.

It sure is nice to not have to log into my e-mail account to send an e-mail to someone.

Very nice job on the structure of the site. Definately a better job than DataMine.

Your entire page needs to be centered. In 1024 x something it looks a little unprofessional.

Yet again you have links that have no formatting to show they are actually links! (Left navigation)

Your site is straight forward, to the point, which is very good when people get what they are looking for.

Great job again on your Host Interviews page.

If I remember correct, midPhase has had a bad reputation from webhostingtalk[dot]come. I might be mistaken, but I believe it was them.

I also think you should have a right border to your page. It looks like it just stops, or nothing loads up, but it looks like it should be their.

So far I can now tell what a hyperlink is in your site. Seems like they get better as I progress through your list.

So far all looks good, a couple suggestions though...
On your main page where it says "Reseller Web Hosting FAQ".

You really need to ditch the yelloworangish background, and use the same blue you had above.

Also, add a border to the table so it looks more structured. Similar to the site mentioned above with the good layout. (The one with the red border for the main tables).

I also suggest you add a border to the right of the very left side. To the right of the banner. But have the border appear all the way down the page. It would make a defined look to the template and people would be more happy to browse around on it.

The http://www.resellerconnection.com/reviews/ page seems a little bit switched around. I would stick with the layout your main page has just because it looks so nice.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Here goes:
Under 'Web Hosting Categories' on the left, you should make the links be defined as links. They look like they are inactive.

You put a banner in the middle of you navigation?!? Don't do that, it looks so messy. I would stop reading after I saw that.

Under 'Hosting Plan Quick Finder' in the main content area, your links change font style and this move around. Looks very messy.

The first paragraph, "Welcome to..." needs to have a nice font that would make be think, wow, I like the font, I will read on.

More ads by google? I thought you run a PPC? Why dont you put YOUR ads on their?

You advertise globat twice on your site with banners. Maybe advertise 2 sites instead of one?

At the very bottom on the right "Web Hosting Partners" looks like a messy table.

Yet again your links change font style on this page: http://www.selectmyhost.com/host_managed.asp.

Last note, your Google ads should be centered on the right column.

Love the domain name, almost love the look.

Biggest flaw would be your orange color again. Not like I have anything against orange, you need to have a color that will match your different shades of blue on your site.

Try going with the dark grey that you see on this button: http://www.resellerforums.com/ravioimages/register.gif

On your site it says, "Resell domain names, hosting, email, more!" Capitalize your words, make them stand out more. and email looks better written as E-mail. Also change the font with them.
