Default Re: Looking for a review ... and critiques

From a code perspective, it's quite well done. Very clean, very tidy.

Remove the the following meta tag. It's completely redundant since robots will follow the links and spider the content anyway:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="robots" content="index,follow">
Clean up your page titles. You've duplicated them on a few pages and they're a little on the long-winded side. Try to keep them under 65 characters. Try to keep them more focused on the page content and not the general site topic or site name.

It's a little hard to discern the purpose of the site. Is the site informational or purely made for AdSense?

The primary navigation doesn't stand out enough. I'm not sure where to go once I've read the home page, and I didn't. (There's way too much to read). I was looking for categories, sections and subsections but didn't easily find any.

Where's the call to action? Why should I be there? What should I do when I get there. In simply trying to figure it all out, I've experienced the following symptoms:
  • Headaches, especially pulsating headaches behind the eyes that occur early in the morning
  • Visual disturbances
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Chest pain (angina)
  • Eye damage (retinopathy)
  • Abnormal heartbeat

Too much red text! I see it's clickable and that's great but there's so much of it that, that the "more.." links don't stand out in the page content and it becomes confusing. Where do I go, what do I do?

Consider breaking up the content into more manageable chunks and spread it across multiple pages. It'll be easier for users to read and to find information using your handy search box.

In the top navigation bar, on the same line as "Health", the empty text box and green bar to the right of it both seem to be clickable in FireFox. Might wanna look at that...

Code:
<div class='hiddenFields'>
<input type="hidden" name="ACT" value="19" />
<input type="hidden" name="XID" value="f1043255b476dc43ee7ef9ef06078e65bf7478f6" />
<input type="hidden" name="RP" value="search/results" />
<input type="hidden" name="NRP" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="RES" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="status" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="weblog" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="search_in" value="everywhere" />
<input type="hidden" name="where" value="all" />
<input type="hidden" name="site_id" value="1" />

</div>
hiddenFields????? Whazzappwiddatt??

If it's a formatting issue, you can apply CSS formatting to the form itself.
