First off, you have too many ads.

Google ads are pay per click; you're going to get nothing for having them there. The AdBrite ads are intrusive, especially on pages such as your Terms Of Service page.

The setup you have now will not be profitable or user friendly. Lose the ads; save them for 'outbound' pages, such as the last page of the signup flowthrough, and blog pages that are linked to from that initial landing page.

Also, you may want to find some graphics that are a bit more distinctive. I see those particular backgrounds damned near everywhere these days, and it gives the page a cut&paste scammer chic' feel. Not trying to offend or accuse, just giving my initial impression.

For me it is not hugely clear. To much space taken up by the
Party graphic and not enough explaining the things a usual
Webhost does. Also terms like high uptime will not fill people
With confidence. How high?

There isn't any contact information, not even a phone number, which should be very prominent at the top of the page.

Why isn't there a 'Terms of use', 'Privacy Policy' or Purchase Agreement'?

These things are required if any amount of trust is to be established.

One Word Review
EMBARRASSING

Twitter length Review
Embarrassing, that you would submit such a mish-mash ad-ridden site for review.

Forum Length Review
1/ Needs privacy policy if displaying ads for Google and other companies.
There are various sites that offer Compliant privacy policy creators online.
2/ Doesn't need google ads if it is intended as an aff. link site. Focus on what you want.
3/ Having 3 or 4 ad types does not increase income. it actually reduces it.
Lose the hyperlinked Adbrite ads ,they look so stupid when the popup is totally unrelated to content / linked keyword.
Focus the site, are you running adsense / aff. ads or your own product site.
4/ BORING Design , millions of free templates out amongst the WEB and that was the BEST you could find?
5/ Domain Name Selection, what were you thinking. Still millions of better names and gTLD's available.
6/ Better solution , Install a HTML . WP or any CMS (Joomla! or one of the many others) site with a good looking Template.
Then write some good reviews content focusing on ONE Company and promoting the services offered by them.
(a Little live site Demo I use for my students of what can be achieved in only a couple of hours).

I think at first glance it looks like so many other websites out there, so visual there is nothing worth looking at. Second I think that the 'Google' ad at the bottom is really irritating, why? The website itself is about gathering clients for a hosting account...so why try to get some extra pennies (= amateuristic) with this Google ad?

This is my personal opinion on Google ads, so please do not be offended.

Also I wonder why I should follow this on 'Twitter'? This Twitter banner got more attention then the logo of your website...isn't the logo important?

Conclusion:
Get rid of the Google Ad at the bottom and be sure people see the logo instead of the 'Twitter' crap.
