Website Review and Suggestions

Skooldays site review www.skooldays.com/
Please review my nostalgic skooldays.com site

Skooldays went live several years ago and tends to receive a range of long tail traffic.
Please review my site for SEO, user-friendliness, and aesthetics. It is a site i have designed my self.

Do you feel the grunge design adds or distracts from the content?

Any input would be appreciated.

Many thanks

i think the page looks great one of the best ones i have seen in a long time... only thing i would change is that google advertisement mabey put it at the bottom of the page.

thanks for reminding me that there was some good stuff going on in my childhood... I miss my ZX Spectrum...

The site looks great, love the scrap-book distressed theme you've got going on. Usability is fine, no trouble with the site. The adverts do ruin an otherwise great design, but then you've gotta make some money. I wonder if you could either blend them in more (some kind of distressed frame) or even put them beneath your navigation bar. It's a shame to have them in the header.

From an SEO standpoint, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you without seeing your keyphrase targets. Looks like you've got it covered tho.

Well-designed, aesthetically pleasing, and from an SEO-perspective, well done. It reminds of watching cartoons when I was a kid, definitely a site that I would come back.

I used to have "Tank Battle" !
Maybe my dear old mum still has it stashed away somewhere back home.
Must call her.

Thanks so much.
