2nd Startup powered by Classipress 3.1

Hello every one.

This is my second Classified startup... its for India mobile phones only.
any suggestions and comments appreciated!!!

youfone.in --> India's mobile phone classified

Thanks in advance.

no comments ?? no suggestions ?? no anything??

common its not that bad, i think it deserves some bad comments though! atleast say "its B--- S--T"

Hi Altafshah,

I have one comment, two suggestions and two questions.
Comment: Your site looks nice, very simple, straightforward to what it is for: phone exchange in India.
Suggestions:

- Add a blog, and post some advice on interesting stuff for people who sell or buy a cell phone.
- Add a forum like this one, I think it is called vBulletin Forum (although it is a little bit too expensive), so that people can interact with your site (this is important, once you participate, you are part of something, and there will be higher chances to come back again and again).

Now, a couple questions:
- How did you manage to have THAT amount of classified adds in that LITTLE amount of time? I mean, in less than one week you have, I don't know, 300 ads?... wow! that's crazy!. I know there are millions and millions of people in your County (whose history and culture I love, by the way), but, those numbers are amazing, so... a couple advices from you on how to do that, would be very much apreciated.

- Second question: How in the world does anyone get rid of that ugly gray background from the original theme? This is driving me crazy, I am not a programmer, and know very little about css, and all that stuff, so I spent TWO WHOLE DAYS trying to understand this, and still the ugly gray color is there... so PLEASE help me!!

I appologyze for any English mistake, I am a spanish speaking person. I hope it helps, and if you have time, give me a hand!

I forgot: I think it would be nice to have a more compeling slogan, maybe something like: "The best phone classified site in India"...

Looking very nice so simple and effective colors. Good luck for your success!

Thanks Guys....
gerson & navjottomer

thanks gerson...
i appreciate your suggestions.
Yes i have plan for Forum integration and blog, which i already did with mingleforum, but needs some modifications to match my theme.

now for your questions..
Some of these ads are copied from other classified websites to increase the number of indexed pages in google. currently few orignal ads are there which are posted by users.
for getting rid of the gray background.. give me your website link, i will tell you which lines you need to change... i suggest use Google Chrome. which is very much helpful changing different layouts and style.

and about your English... Its Perfect.. better than myn
