Ok,
Taking Marks advice I made some changes I think will help, although it probably still needs some work:
-Moved all links sections to the left menubar
(previously there were some on the right and some on the left and I think that might be a bit messy/confusing. The right-side is only banner ads now)
-Changed background of links sections from black to silver
helping to soften the page a bit (the black was a little harsh looking)
-Removed the About RakeReport.net top-right section
All this really said was that we’re an unbiased poker rakeback directory, I don’t believe it added much use for the average visitor
-Removed WSOP Logo & Changed Top Center Yellow Box
I also got rid of the similar text/links about poker rakeback and prizes for our forums and combined them for just the center yellow box.
-Removed “Featured Advertiser” Heading & Personalized
Replaced each heading to match the advertisers specific site or product, such as Poker Manager, Free Poker E-Book, etc.
-Changed Heading Color From White To Black
The heading on each page, such as “Featured Offers-Dec 2007” was white and I changed it to black. I figured there needed to be some contrast since the top menu options for the forums and so forth are all white, and then the advertisers down the center of the page are also white.
I’m not sure if I like this look though, perhaps the other sections should be black and the heading should’ve stayed white?
