There really isn't much to say in my opinion as there isn't really much of a design concept at all. No logo, no colour scheme, a box with a lot of words and some other links at the bottom, that all annoyingly open up new browser windows. If you are serious about this site then you need to think of a design layout and do something much better, I'd leave the site instantly if I came across it especially with the animated thanks, just looks like it'll take you through to a porn site!

thats really not good... heh.. there is nothing there apart from txt .. and txt is not design.. . I would not stick around the site.. it is not attractive or profecional looking.. sorry. .
Well, on a positive note, your site loads very quickly as it is all text. But it really is a big jumble. Could you organise all those categories, e.g. have a big heading Entertainment then list Music, Films, etc underneath that and so on. (Similar to YAHOO's categories). I think that would be much nicer to use. Maybe some little cute icons next to each main category - e.g. little set of headphones next to the word Entertainment and so on.
Also, I don't like the Thanks graphic. It kind of makes it look like, if people use your site, they are doing you a favour - do you see what I mean??
I actually don't mind the fact that you don't have a logo, but try adding some icons, and possibly a pale green background.

Dear Webmaster:
RecommendASite.com launched 3 days ago, so far out of our selected 108 websites, Animal Trial , Basketball , Precision Rifle Shooters are linked back, another site will be link back by sunday.
I appreciate those webmasters both their fine sites and their helping moves, if one day my site gets really successful, they are the seeds.
I must to let you know that I am a dreamer who loves Internet so much, without capital and skills, work alone for this RecommendASite idea, there's no guarantee I will make it perfect, but I will do my best to learn from members how to make it better for everyone.
If one by one webmasters link me back, I will have more friends in cyber land, that's what a great joy in life.
I hope you can link me back, but I hope more that you like the idea and help me to improve it, greedy? Yes, I am, haha.
Have a great new year, have some fun, make more love.

the site now is all in my partners handle, I just hope to find more opinions from the forum.
But I still have other dreams or plans, or call it addiction to challenge the net, down to 2 domains.
First, hallofbeauty.com, I think one of the great power that Internet has is to witness beauty. So can we have a hall on the net that displays most beautiful looking websites? And those beauty sites wear some kind of jewelry with our mark. Quate, if you have many beautiful girl friends then you are the richest guy.
Second, I had a thought, maybe the best way to make profit on net is to be a leading ad agency. Look the changes, banner ads, animations, pop windows, exitfeul, floating banners, interactive ads, SEs, etc., etc.
Is this down to how to use the smallest ad space to make the biggest attraction? The screen is the only chess bored, no matter how tech changes. So, let the words do the job--is recommendAsite a nature? Under the mask, we sale anything that is worth to recommend. Quote, I need a partner or a teacher.

hi, i think if you increase cellpadding in your directory, it would look better.
and there are two sections of 'more to come...' can't see the need for more than one.
'check out our recommend A site'...irregular caps?
other than that, looks much better now...but still looks quite sparse to me.
hope this helps.
