WHAT a horrible site. You guys FAIL totally to show the entire page. Their categories are only understandable to them. AND at the top AND bottom of every page are link ads that “look” like they belong to the categories. There is a VERY small bit of text under the links to show that they are “linkads”

REALLY? You’re telling people to go to a site that has horrible navigation AND ads off of its own site that aren’t clearly defined or marked. Yet, on your pages here you seem to have excluded the top and bottom ads.

Well. The idea is interesting and the site works.

as long as there are no adult links or spyware popups. I think it is OK.

Are you saying you don’t like Makeuseof.com for not showing that ValueJockey.com has ads, or do you not like ValueJockey.com for having ads?

Very interesting site. Great idea and easy to use. Very straight forward. Provides a great place to go and research the price of your stuff. It’s like getting a group appraisal.
