    Hi Debra

    Wow! Certainly the colours are very striking!! I have to say that, at first glance, I thought they were a bit garish. But onceI stayed at the site for a few moments, it does look ok. I just wonder what other visitors might think. Would it be enough for them to leave? I guess you need to check your visitor stats to see how long people are hanging around for.

    The adsense fits in quite well with that colour scheme, and they did appear to be targeted.

    One thing I did notice was that the navigation isn't all that clear. Maybe it's just me. I clicked on one of the categories (eBay stores), and it took me a few moments to find a way back to the category list. Again, perhaps people aren't as determined as I was and that may make them leave.

    I agree. The colors hurt my head at first but are fine after the cornea recovers. :D

    I would add two little flower bullets to the left of the 468 x 60 block, pull it tight, and change its links to the same blue in categories. Make it look like more category choices.

    Maybe move the link unit on the right somewhere else. You already have an ad unit there.

    Also, what does the celebrity stuff on the left have to do with shoes? Get some shoe affiliates. Write some mini reviews, add photos, and place these in a nice block on the left. They will make you more money and get you more SE love than "Liz joins Beatrice and Eugenie at Elton's bash".

    Change "Top Links" to "Top Shoes" and "Popular Links" to... You get the idea.

    Good luck,
    Ty
