Default First opinion...

My first opinion was that this was a site that was done by someone that knew HTML and not graphics. The logo really didn't say "Professional" at all. Not that I could do any better, but that's why we hire graphic artists.

As for content, I didn't see much other than fluff. There isn't really any "This is what you do", but just a couple of affiliate links and some other people's tools on your site.

There is a lot of potential, but it'll take a whole lot of content to meet that potential. How-to's, things to avoid, how to tell if you're banned, etc. Give people something of value and you'll start getting links, traffic, and those advertising clicks it looks like the site was built to attract.

As it is now, the site doesn't tell anyone if you really know SEO or not. It shows other people's tools. It also doesn't show if you've done homework on the tools you're offering.

Although you may be tempted to use one of the many auto-submission services that are flooding the internet, be very careful as to which one you may choose since the practice is frowned upon by many of the top search engines and the practices of an unethical submission serivces can lead to your site being penalized or banned as a result. At least if take the time to submit your site manually there is no need to worry about related instances. But if time is one thing you are short of feel free to use the autosubmitter below.
Ok, so what makes this one you suggest ethical? Be careful, choose this one, but I won't tell you why. That doesn't help anyone understand why to choose one or the other. Tell people you're an expert, this is what's wrong with some of the programs, and this is why yours isn't that way.
