Hi Chris
Welcome, interesting site you have although may i point out 2 things that put me off the site from a customers point of view, from the looks of it your attempting to cash in on the "million dollar homepage" craze that has come about recently that in itself slightly puts me off advertising simply because the idea is just not original anymore its been done to death but that is really personal preference. Secondly because you have put a different spin on it by having larger banners it makes the site ridiculously slow to load even on a top end connection and i really dont think anyone would wait around that long for it to load to view any adverts that are lower than the first section of the screen, you only have a handful of adverts there at the moment and even after they have loaded the site is slow. The reason why million dollar homepage worked so well was because it was kept small and simple.
I personally would squash the adverts down slightly and try and get it loading a bit quicker.
Hope its a sucess for you though and please dont take what i have said personally its just my opinion and hopefully will benefit you in some way

Hi all,
Did not Ray Kroc (McDonald's) cash in on the hamburger fame? Many successful businesses are cloned from others! Chris has freshened the format, hopefully in a successful manner. I certainly accept your view about the loading speed though. Maybe an enquiry to 'Fasthosts' or similar may be beneficial.
Cheers, Nigel
