I think there are a few things you could do that would quickly improve your site.
First of all, because there are a number of sites that offer similar free services, it would be important for you to clearly explain what you provide that others don't. I think the start of this is found currently on your FAQ page, but it should be featured more prominently on the home page.
I also found it difficult to read the text under each of the five social site icons. Right now, each column is allowing about 3-5 words per line, which makes it hard to naturally scan the text. I'm viewing your site on chrome with a smallish laptop, so I can't be sure, but it seems as if your username/pw box is taking up a lot of real estate and could be placed strategically to allow for more space for your explanatory text. Right now, the copy for all five is too similar, I assume you plan to mix it up later, but even if the core concept is similar across the different networks I think you should try to use different language so it doesn't appear cut and paste.
I also think you could use a logo that more clearly personifies your brand. Right now your logo appears to be very facebook-centric. I think, because you are trying to market yourself as a site that can help across other social networks as well, that you would do well to have a logo that is less specific.
To be blunt, the website design is a little awkward. The color scheme of blue and grey doesn't seem to mesh well, and the actual windows/buttons are placed haphazardly. I would suggest maintaining consistency. If one of your windows have spaces between them, put spaces between ALL your windows. Uniformity will make your site look more professional.
I also have to agree with the above poster that the text is hard to read and not very effective. I would suggest writing a single explanation rather than five, that would explain WHY people should join your site. Put the five buttons below that and make them links to pages with more specific information. Hope that helps.
My inital impressions, in contrast to GeoffreyYu7, is that I actually find it aesthetically effective. It's easy on the eyes and well spread out. But different browsers/pcs can display colors differently so others may be viewing the site in a slightly different colour tones.
The columns for twitter, facebook etc are probably to thin, it's ok, but you might be able to find a better layout as noted above by Nostalgia.
You should put the questions under the faq/how it works page in bold but keep the answers normal font weight so they stand out.
This page http://facebook-like-exchange.com/index.php linked to from the 'Home' navigation tab needs to be redirected to just http://facebook-like-exchange.com/
Finally perhaps the login, stats and about us boxes need to be fluid in width so they shrink more for smaller resolution screens/browsers.
Other than that....it gets a 'like' from me.
The columns of information about each social website feels too constrained, maybe leave the icons and have the info that's in the columns pop-up when hovered over. I would also take the larger text at the bottom of the page that explains what your website does and put it at the top.
A background image that has countries underneath a lot of water doesn't really support your mission - since this site is about people and connections - an image of people interacting would establish a better connection to the services you offer.
Ok we have changed some of the layout and changed the site name to http://socialmedianetworkexchange.com
the site looks interesting but i think few users will register on your website because nobody likes registering themselves on every single website.
Thanks for all the great ideas and nice reviews

To much text.. on the home page. If you are placing the text for SEO you should place it below the fold so its not so visible.
Does it cost money or is it free? No real join now button - that should be prominent on the home page to attract attention.
Some links are not working like Affiliate program - why not just remove that until its ready. Does it really work? How about some screenshot or eexamples. The sign up is nice and easy. When I click free coins I find it hard to return or go back. When I try to add coins to my site my site is not showing up. Maybe you can help me to assign the 100 coins I have
Ok i did some redesigning to the site. and @tadpole all the buttons should be working on google chrome but i am having some issues with people using ipods.ipads,ect.. and after you added your site im thinking you added it to the facebook section so when you click "add coins to site" you need to click the button at the top that says "facebook" and you will see you sites..
What do you think of the new design?
@swapes kinda like your last message... reported as spam..
This forum is for reviews and input not to post your website. i thank everyone who has given a good review
In my opinion you have to heal a little the look and feel.
Could you add a little more details to that..
You need a complete redesign. The colors are also not good. I would use less words and better font. Make it more like a splash page, get to the point. Post a tutorial video for more information. The idea itself is good, I just think presentation is completely wrong. Also instead of login being shown on left navigation, the focus should be on REGISTER. You need to grab new members, login should have a link at the top and there should be a registeration box on the homepage. You convert from new members.

I like it its easy to navigate and easy to use its a little slow but thats ok give it a few secs and it will load. Great job
Thanks
The concept or idea of the site is nice. As people love Facebook likes or Twitter Followers a lot nowadays. Feature of the site is good and promising. Overall I think the site is good one and people will love it.
However, personally I didn’t like the design and content placement that much. Even I think color combination needs to be changed. I think there are lots of beautiful changes are possible as the idea is a very good one.
I think graphics for the site is low quality. Site is missing some good quality graphic. This idea of the site can be presented with some interesting graphic or picture/images. Background of the site needs to be changed.
Couple video tutorials would be very nice.
They bro, above are just my personal opinion. I wrote what I feel will help your site to be more beautiful. Over all I like your site and especially your site idea. A great site with a great idea. And good luck with your site.
