Hey Sir or Madam,

we would like your input on Taken Web Search, does the banner advertisement on the searching page push you away from visiting again? Its the design to your needs for a search engine?

Thank you very much

Hi soapbathWhen you posted this thread you saw our posting agreement. That agreement requests that you review at least *three* other sites. If there is some reason why you can't or don't want to do this please let us know. If you need some help in writing your review we have created these tips for writing website reviews. Once you have done some additional reviews we'd be happy to comment on your site.

Thanks!

Is there really that much to say about a search engine anyways? All I will say is it "ain't no Google." Wink Furthermore,I have to ask you to work on the design--it makes me feel like I'm trapped back in 1997.

I like clean sites like this.

I take it is still under construction as a few of the links at the top don't work.

Indeed still under contruction. And I worked on the design and it has changed since Feb 23 2005.

"ain't no Google.", indeed, but then again google got there 10 years before me, and have a '''Tad''' more money than me. Heh.

Oh and Megan: Sorry I thought I had. Done so now.

I don't understand. What differentiates this from Google?

How are you planning to make this popular or gain any revenue from it? Not wishing to sound rude, I'm genuinely interested! Laughing out loud

a Padded Cell our articles site!

Very clean look, which is good. However, I think some part of the site should not be so light. It makes me think the brightness on my monitor is turned way up. (Which, of course, it isn't.)

The misspelled word "copyied" on the bottom makes it seem less professional. Make sure you do a spell check.

Also, I would recommend that when someone is on the Safe page or the Normal page that you somehow change that word. Perhaps make it not a link, or maybe bold, or both. I have to look at the URL to tell which search I'm on. As a web user, I'm lazy, and want to know without having to search.

Finally, functionally, I think that the string I just searched for should still be in the search box when the results are showing. Remember, most of a user's time is spent on other sites, so if yours doesn't function like those other sites, he'll leave yours.

Very clean, however, which is far better than many sites out there.

All I have to say is, that clix galore ad has got to go!!! It's so pixelated and just plain yucky!! Other than that I like your logo and think the rest of the page looks very clean.

Well seen a better search reviewed here before, you need to be a little unobtrusive with the banners, most comments above are dead on
