TheClevelandShow.info

Please let me know what you think. I bought this domain and added the layout/content yesterday all in about 5 hours so hopefully it's not that awful and can fetch me a small profit.

URL is www.theclevelandshow.info

The only major problem for me is the fact that the logo/banner is of really bad quality. If you improve the banner then I think it will look good.

Ya I had it as a much smaller size and just quickly resized it. I may go back later and try to redo it. Problem is there's basically only one image of the text and I had to cut it out of it which is always a pain :/

Why not find the font for that text and do it yourself?

I'm concerned about your typographic style.
For starters, the captials are over-used and quite redundant. Use italicization instead, or small caps, and only where they're needed.
Have a paragraph indent and spacing between paragraphs is overkill. I'd drop the indent—the general style on the web—as it seems a bit out of place.

There are too many ads. They're double the height of the content! I can see the point in one of the adsense modules, but three?

Finally, I don't see licensing information anywhere...

Are you joking? I'm assuming you just didn't visit the site with such a stupid comment...

I got rid of the caps/indenting and I agree with you I think it is for the best.

I designed this site purely for the intention of adsense ... err I mean to bring great content to all my fans

Good call on licensing I'm going to add a footer later today with a more prominent link to my site and a disclaimer.

Oh my bad, I just don't see how you think it's as simple as that when clearly I wanted the official text of the show...

Well I wondered if you could like, get the font (if there is one), curve it to that shape and add some blending options. May not turn out as good, but worth a try.

Header logo needs to be de-jaggied.

No Home button.

Might look better with 5-10 pixels more padding around the left content area.

Overall it's kind of plain, but it doesn't look bad.

There is no home page. About takes you to the root file.

That's fine if you prefer to not have a 'home' page, but most visitors will probably find it confusing.
