Hiya

this is what needs changing:
- cut down on the LHS images/banners which makes the page too long and makes you scroll down to see nothing but white space. This tend to make the site look cheap and empty. If you had a lot of content covering the white space, then be it. but if there isnt, i really recommend you removing these banners.

- I would have thought promotions are far more important for your website than the google adverts. Visitors are coming to your site to see YOUR products. why drive them away with google adverts? I would recommend placing the adverts at the end of the page.

- the about our website paragraph you have at the end of the page (this really should be in a different page called - about us!) or, if you really want these details to show on the very first page, you should include it in the top of the page as an introduction section.

- i really think you need to do a lot to give a feel to your website.

Good Luck
T

When viewed in firefox:

You really need to cut those adverts down and like junioronline has already said it really wont help you. Looks messy too.

The scrolling text is moving a bit too fast. It also diverts visitors attention from the rest of the page. I personally would remove it.

Your content is too wide - hence the horizontal scrollbar. You should reduce the width so it will all fit on the screen.

The navigation menu looks unorganised and messy. You need to make it all with the same size font and make it look a bit more appealing. Dont include things that you cant click on. Only the links to bits of the site that already exist.

Your logo should be up in the top left corner and the section on the top should be reduced. It's taking up far too much of the screen.

Make some changes and we'll take another look =)

Alright, here's the honesty from a guy who has been a developer for years. Get rid of the Google ads to start. Work on the content. Beef up the site's content. Center the topic field or menu up top. Work on the colors. It's bland. It needs a lot of work.
Most websites fail. On the web 3%-- that's right 3% are successful comerically. So get to work. I take it this is your first attempt. If it's not you know it's just beginning.

Work over the content. Work up more pages of content. Make it substantial. Check the margins-- They're off and the pages are not centered. In a typical view of the page it looks off to the average surfer.

Is that enough to start with? Good luck and let us know when you have the site re-worked.
Overall, it's a good start!
Good luck!

Aside from the design and content, which has been mentioned in previous posts, your English is poor. ( Not deliberately trying to sound harsh) I don't know if English is your native language, but either way, have someone go over it and edit it for grammar and sentence construction. Poor English diminishes your credibility and drives visitors away.

Thank you very much reviewing. Really appreciate all the help from you guys.

I don't know what this site is about. At first I thought it was another Google Adword cash cow, but I don't think it is, though without ads there isn't much left.

But, I think you some it up quite well with this header on the products page: "your most best infosite"
