Hi, an interesting concept... a few comments:
- Rather slow to load (in UK) - but that could just be me
- The search didn't give me useful results (with search site selected)
- I tried category Hobies Music Guitar
- The text-only list is rather uninspiring - thumbnails of covers would be good
- I accidentally clicked 'report link not there' button instead of Download. It woudl be better if this button was UNDER download, not next to it, and just text link rather than button.

... and finally when I clicked download I realised that you're just pointing me to other sites! YOur intro says "We provide good downloadable pdf files online"... but you don't - you just provide links to other people's content! Whether it's rational or not, I felt conned.

Sorry to be negative.. just my honest thoughts having tried your site.

It's no problem... My idea is listing pdf files. I have found that so many search engine users fail/difficult to find pdf (only) files. They probably don't know how to use filetype:pdf in searching for pdf files.. So I integrate Yahoo search engine service to list all pdf files and put into the list under specific category. Some are hard to decide what category they should be... I can get the files and put into my hosting but I'm affraid it would raise a problem with copy right. So I just put the owner's site link on my page. Sorry my english is not quite good (from non-english speaking country lol..) What i mean is my site "provide the list of pdf files... We had listed.... " I'll correct it..

This is the first time I'm integrating google search form into my site. Just a few hour ago. I'm still looking for the best way to ease my visitor using the search form.

Thanks a lot for your review. It helps me..

Seems fast at the moment.

Looks beautiful. If you designed and coded that be happy, because its cool.

SEO wise there is far to many URL links on the site(around 200). Google I believe will mark you down for so many links on the page..

Are there any tools online I can use to count how many url links on my site? I want to reduce the url. I'm still thinking to shorten the current category list into categories and sub categories.. Thanks for your review.. It's helpful

Well, website is fast here and also like it.

But don't you think its going too much with the keywords and links here.

You really should cutted off some of the links which are not too useful for the home page.

And if your website is just a new, then from my view, its not a good practice of having adsense to a new website.

Best of luck.

Cool site, added to my favorites!

The site was initially slow to load but seemed fine once loaded, is there a script which runs on first page load? You may want to remove any front end scripting which takes a long time to load. First impressions are paramount and if someone thinks the pages take too long to load they will navigate away.

Thanks Mit..
Keyword : I'm a bit confused how to place my keyword on site. As far as I know, It's on title, meta, headings, links and images. Do I miss something? Would you share what is the best way? Thanks in advance...
Links : I plan to remove some links, still deciding.. hope very soon..
Adsense : I just try to earn some

Thanks Martin.. I'm struggling to make page loading faster. I Think it's the javascript from extremetracking and adsense at the right corner.. I have tried to put them in different places and I found the page loading get slower at that place. I will change very soon... Very helpful.. Thanks again..

I like the design and that it matches Adobe Reader's colors. I suggest you move the following sections to the top of the page, since they are more important and should be above other sections: Search .pdf files, download .pdf tools, and top 10 downloaded .pdf files. I also suggest you to set up the download links to actually start downloads and not open a slow-loading page first to download. But, you are on the right track. Keep up the good work on your website!
