You mean when you are on the proxiated page ? Right ? I mean other than that bug how you found it, also the feeds are they worth reading ?

Too many ads, I will just go use one with less ads.

Way too cluttered. Too much crap all over the page. 1/10.
Sorry, dude. :(

Do let me know if you can find a proxy with less ads and specially non-popup ones :wave:

the style dont really matter, Its a proxy people are going to use it and what not no matter what it looks like, hence why my only reply was its not working :P
I dont think the rss feeds have much of a point, no ones going to read them.
But anyway I guess you well tell in time.

You should learn to take constructive criticism. You posted here for an honest review, right? Well, we're really trying to help you out.

interesting. Though the ads obscure the "enter URL here" form - I would recommend making a block of a different colour for the URL/options in the middle and place ads around it.
Else it obscures the main objective of the proxy.

Wat too cluttered with ads, all that writing is not needed. Design is ugly, overall 0/10, I'd rather use a nice, clean presentable one.

Well, he's right. There are plenty of proxies that aren't nearly as cluttered and have far less ads. The Stealthy One is right, too; if you post in this forum, expect criticism.
And there are way too many ads. Perhaps move the RSS feeds to a separate "news" page and link to it from the main page. Don't make the ads the absolute first thing you see, it's not what people want. Also, the intro paragraph is unnecessary.

It's still very crowded. Limit the width of the url box, for one. Hmm. Take out the ads above the URL box and take out the intro paragraph and replace it with a logo. Then leave the ads below the url box. And, like I suggested before, I'd still put the RSS feeds on a separate page, or at least have them in small boxes below the url box.

If you're just focusing on making money, then you won't make an appealing design.
Like the original one.
Right now you're focusing on cramming as many ads as possible into one area. You're making the ads the main focus, and then the proxy if the visitor feels like it.

So tell me how to make any revenue off a proxy site if ads are hidden ? :wave:, and its an old domain my friend bought long time ago and i took over it, so instead of just staring a dead indexpage proxy came to my mind, and they when become popular can require their own servers so revenue is required.
So that u know so far $0 have been made however :lol::lol:

I didn't say to have them hidden, just don't have them the main focus of the page. It looks really ugly. In the example I drew up, maybe put "news n shiz" on another page and bump the ads up to directly under the form. Or switch "news n shiz" with "ads n crap"

Yeah, that's neat, but use a smaller font. I'm sidescrolling on a 1024x768 laptop screen.

Are you coding it for MS Internet Explorer or something? Because this is what I see, and yes I set NoScript to trust your site temporarily.
