Hmm. I see an attempt "to keep up with Yahoo" doing the whole Portal thing. Problem is, all your stuff feels like it's having catfights with itself.
1. That big rotating ad ...
CLICK ME!!
... seriously distracts me when I am trying to compose a search query.
2. What is a Bidding Directory? Bidding on what?
3. "Kill the Popups - download our toolbar". What year is that from? IE7 and Firefox at the least kill popups already. So what else does that toolbar do? Unfortunately, some other toolbar vendors have left a bad name to the genre.
4. "Stock Quotes" ... Interesting, except upon closer inspection, it's not real. That feels like a waste of Portal space. (And can it be Dow Industrial as an optional default with a click instead of Nasdaq?)
5. That whole bottom right corner looks weird. If you want a link to the forums, there are tons of better ways to do that.
6. Advanced Search - I don't use any "single" search anymore. Put in a page like Google/Yahoo advanced search that can handle "whole phrase but excluding ___ " etc.
7. Who is your backend? There are only about 4 quality search engines in the world left, each with a brand name. So who are you, and what is there to like?
