No I don't think it is gaudy, a bit too cluttered perhaps. Too many posters...

Also does anyone besides teenagers even buy posters anymore?

The uhhh women posters might sell some with the men though.

I think the best way to make money on a site is to find a niche and fill it. Also selling your own things whatever they may be.

Good luck with it.

ah yes but you also have to look at the cost of maintaining each website in domains and hosting costs...

Not to mention time...

No more like seriousness. If someone doesn't have paid hosting I don't feel comfortable spending my money there.

Free webspace isn't good for much but acceptable for a personal website I guess.

I feel that free webspace is on its way out anyway. Formerly free are starting to charge.

Better and I noticed you moved the sexy women posters up to the top. Good move.

I like that kitten poster though with the pool table... might just have to buy that one...

Well that is hard to say it really depends on your visitors. I would think posters like that would do better on a fan site, maybe a movie website... or a site about cats and could have cat posters for sale... something like that.

Maybe you could do a poll to find out if your visitors would find that content interesting or not. I don't really think though they are thinking posters when they come to your site.

Of course you never know unless you ask...

Okay well just off the top of my head...

you have a personals section. Why not place advertising in that section for online dating services etc. that are not free.

you have the free content that will draw people, i.e. the free personals, so advertise for other sites that offer personal ads for a fee and offer you a commission on each sale.

now on to your classified section...

Business services - on that page why not include affiliated business services? Things like credit card processing, business card creation, online payment systems etc.

Autos>Cars: include affiliated shops etc. related to cars. Maybe even auto insurance links would be a good idea in this area.

This is just for starters but I think you get my idea here. Just keep going like that for each of your classified sections. I noticed the large space on the right going down the page with only a couple ad banners in it.

Put more targeted advertisers in there but don't over do it. A few select advertisers per page and evenly spaced is enough. Don't want to make your visitors feel like they are being sold to.

I know that may seem like a lot of work to do each page differently but that is the only way to really make money online. There is no easy way out.

I hope some of this helps you out or at least gives you some ideas...

oh add on here, if you are looking for a good source of affiliate programs start with CommissionJunction: http://www.cj.com/

That was who I started with first and they really make it easy.
