Review my Las Vegas Deals website

Hi,
Please let me know what you think about my new website:
http://lasvegassecretdeals.com

I'm also having some trouble getting Google to index my site. It's been almost a week (I know they say it can take a long time), but still nothing on any search engine. I've submitted it manually to Yahoo, Google's Url addition page is broken, I've submitted it to sites that say they will do it for free, i've uploaded my sitemap to Google and still nothing.

Any comments on my page or problem will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

if you just registered this domain, it could take much longer than a week for your site to be indexed. some take months.

you have some positioning/alignment problems. the google ads are misaligned in ff, however, looks find in ie7. also, your navigation wraps into a second line and is cut off by your main body when viewed in ie7.

have you thought about designing a custom logo? it looks quite boring with just plain text. also, i feel your links could be bigger, however, that might just be because your body font is so big that it overshadows everything else. i also wouldn't use justified. i rarely use it on word documents and definitely not on a webpage. and yeah, definitely change the body font. black bg with grey text? doesn't work. people won't read it. also change the font size. it's just too big.

i feel you need to rethink the layout of your site. right now, it seems obvious that you're just trying to get ad revenue from adwords. your entire left column and right column on other pages, are google ads. you need to work the design to have advertisements fit seemlessly. also, you need to have some form of formatting for your copy. right now, it's just paragraph after paragraph of information. you can't expect your viewers to scroll down too far. organize each section of a webpage in its own container/module, like blog entries, or their own sub-sections. this is especially true for your secret deals. there has to be some form of organization.

your site also load very slow and i know it's not my connection. in addition to the point above about how it's obvious the purpose of this site is to generate revenue rather than actually helping your viewers, asking for a donation is weird for me. what am i donating to? for you to post more vegas deals when people probably only visit once a year? or they can probably find these promotions on their own? it just adds to the overall impression of your site that you just want to make money off of it.

Thanks for the tips. To summerize:

Check format.
Logo.
Smaller font.
Change text/bg color.
Re-organize paragraphs.
Make ads fit better.

Any other tips?

Thanks again.

Nice site

Dont worry about Google, just be patience

Your website doesnt appear right in Chrome though.. but thats because Chrome is beta..
