Ural Mountains
The Ural Mountains (Russian: Ура́льские го́ры, Uralskiye gory) (also known as the Urals, the Riphean Mountains in Greco-Roman antiquity, and known as the Stone Belt) are a mountain range that runs roughly north and south through western Russia. They are sometimes considered as the natural boundary between Europe and Asia.

But i will be changing it as i think you are right most people wont understand

You were doing so well on the markup and then you went and laid out the form using tables....for shame....

Have you considered using CSS to style the form?? It is far more flexible and you can achieve so much more, plus the form will be more accessible and the markup will be cleaner.

Looked at your site and it is a reasonable idea.

With your navigation, home, directory, links etc at the top of your page, it might be difficult to get your pages ranked.

Your graphics do not reflect in a nyway what your site is about so i would consider changing it to a graphic that reflects computers or the internet.

How do you intend to monetise the site.

I am not sure but i think adsense requires a certain amount of text on your page before they will accept you. I may be wrong so please consult the adsense TOS

Good luck

URL Shorting – The reasons and benefits.

Is your website suffering from dearth of visitors due to a lengthy URL?
Long URLs have several disadvantages that need to be addressed. There are several reasons for the popularity of urlshorting these days and their benefits abound in plenty. A small url is easy to use and has top-of-the-mind recall. If you have a tinyurl it will always be easy for you to communicate the url to others and will be great for frequent and regular use. A large url may appear as a broken link or may even spill out of text boxes. With shortURL being highly beneficial, there are several services these days that can be used to make large url smaler. I have personally gained from these services when I wished to snip my url. These url choping services are generally free services. The urlchop services often offer additional facilities as well. Allowing users to create an url with a keyword is an instance of such add-ons. The bottom line is that using a short url can go a long way in making your website popular.
