That 1995 warning is a bad bad idea. It reminds me of spyware. I don't dig the random bars under each category, do they corrolate to how much information is in each category? That would be useful info. Colors are not cohesive, you have blue and green. Pick one and stick with it.

1.
Very good, i liked it very much, simple and clear. I didn't like the google ads at the bottom. REMOVE the ad at the header.
2.
Good, maybe a back button when in subcategory, and not only the pathway at top.

Dear All,
Thanks for the great feedbacks.. I have removed the annoying ad and working on adding more categories and trying to keep the no of colors up to 3 at most..
Jay-S..
The code is fine and clean, the issues mentioned by the validator errors are minor.. ALT is not required but very useful, especially for SEO... will work on fixing the other issues, thanks for bringing this up!
Keep em coming!

The design isn't bad, but you really do have a lot of advertisements. I could be wrong, but I don't think your visitors will be super interested in reading the ads...
Otherwise, the category groupings are okay. I don't know if they get specific enough for a large directory, but right now you don't have enough sites in it anyways.
I would imagine building a search directory is difficult (I've never tried), but I would say to stick as close to Yahoo or Google's model as possible. After all, they've made billions of dollars, so they must be doing something right.

Very easy to use and look around the categories.
I would recommend making the 'submit link' stand out abit more? That is only a suggestion.
Overall nice design for a directoryAaron Luckie - Paid search and SEO blog

Visited your site again. Didn't crash this time. Nice site, clean, easy to navigate. You should get some work done on your content as most categories are empty or have little content. Site responds very quickly, which I like. Best of luck.
