The URL is: http://www.searchfilehosts.com/
Review can be related to anything right from layout to SEO, everything.
I really want to know what you think. Any honest feedback is appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!!

I think you might want to read up on Google's terms of service. They might not allow you to use their CSE with ads from another service. Incidentally, that ad service isn't very good. I did a search for PHP and it served up ads about dogs. Honestly, I don't see what is unique or different about your site. It looks nice, but you're just wrapping some Google search results in a different wrapper. You may want to consider expanding your site to other areas as well.

thanks for the comments virtu, really appreciate it. i haven't had much time yet but i aim to expand it to give users the abaility to search individual hosting sites.
with regards to the ads service, what do you recommend? cheers!

its a good concept but getting people to use it is a different matter
i suppose you have to think why would people use my website instead of googles
but its a nice simple layout looks professional and all up front.

it's basically a files search engine, so you type the name of the song or movie you want, then click and download.
for example, if you're into lady gaga:

**Atol** · 02-27-2009, 04:19 AM

well, it needs a new design. It´s not appelative. It needs a new logo

**lucky05** · 02-28-2009, 02:44 AM

Looks like a very proffesional site. But need a bit more text, or maybe some more video reviews. Good work, keep it up.

**luckyman** · 02-28-2009, 08:41 AM

**Niks** · 03-02-2009, 01:59 AM

It is basically a files search engine.. nice..
But i thnk it needed a bit more text, or some more video reviews.
Honestly, I don't see what is unique or different about your site.

The layout looks pretty good, but I was confused about the whole concept. If you are a big company like Google, then you can be plain and simple because everyone know (or eventually will know) how to use that search engine. I did not know what I was supposed to be searching for on your site.

You might want to put an explanation or examples of what to search for. Was I supposed to just put in music or specific album? I am somewhat savvy on the internet; I run my own business but your site made a bit confused.

The layout is nice and clean but you will need more than that to convince people to use your site. Not to mention for SEO purposes you will need to beef it up.

Cheers,

all you do is enter the song name, or movie name, then hit enter
it will then bring up all the sources for that search.
so for example:
here's some bon jovi for you
http://www.searchfilehosts.com/searc...=Find+File#945

**jaynewstrom** · 03-06-2009, 07:08 PM

Your design is neat and catches the eye.
But i think it might be faster for users to just go to google and type something in.
That is just my opinion, personally i would rather go to google and spend less time than look at something pretty

**luckyman** · 03-06-2009, 07:09 PM

i have now included more file hosts. please do let me know if there are other good ones i've left out. thanks!

**ernelle** · 03-06-2009, 07:30 PM

Nice colors very clean design. I think the Title "Search File Hosts" needs to stand out more, it almost seems like it is fading into the background.

**flignats** · 03-06-2009, 08:14 PM

I think that the design is very good. It's very professional looking, and nice and simple.

**pendeweb** · 03-08-2009, 07:05 AM

simple design. i like it. why don't you create your own search engine without the help of google?

**luckyman** · 03-11-2009, 12:41 PM

thanks for he positive feedback guys.
i've improved the search results now.
here's the link again: http://www.searchfilehosts.com/
and enjoy!

I like the concept and all, however since the adverts go so low on the page it hides the results (maybe put the adverts at the bottom of the results instead), and while it's searching maybe a graphic showing that it's searching would be kool, cause it seems to just kind of hang there for a while. Just my opionion, hope it helps.
