- Does the home page sufficiently convince people to go further into the site?

The site has no content except for ads.

- Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?

Which is, what? Just to show ads? If so, you've achieved it.

- Appearance/Attractiveness

It's very plain. You don't even have a logo.

- Images failing to load

I didn't find any images anywhere.

- Is the Contact, Privacy and Legal information adequate in relation to main purpose of site?

None that I can find. Your "contact" page just mentions spam and gives a link to faqs.org and no way to contact you.

I don't mean to sound negative, but there's really no reason for anyone to go to your site. I'd get more info just using a search engine.

lauraddirectnet, it was the same url as you put in the thread title here.

Sorry, but I already gave you a big chunk of my time to visit the site as listed originally and I'm not willing to spend any additional effort to "re-review" it.

I did not spend a lot of time at your site, however the time I did spend there I noticed you have no DOC., Your meta tags leave a lot to be desired as for the SE's. Your images really should be renamed and given ALT tags. This is all from a SE point of view ( se = search engine ). The sites itself is laid out very user friendly and easy to follow and understand. Your content is also done well.

I would suggest you spend time here ( lots of time ) and learn about search engines, meta tags and such....without this knowledge a good site means zip...zero....nada

Great site looks good and has a lot of information about your product,I agree about the meta tag and alt text on your pictures it really helps you with keyword count and they are easy to add.
