    Arrow Any advice?

    CCBenz: Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    I just opened my website at the end of September but I'm trying to do whatever I can early on to improve it. I'm hoping to get a decent amount of interest in the Car Specifications database (Showroom) since there isn't another site out there with all this information compiled in one place, so any help with how I could draw attention to this is welcome.

    I have also submitted it to DMOZ and Yahoo, though it hasn't shown up on either one yet.

    Please say whatever comes to mind, positive or negative. I appreciate brutal honesty.

    I'm not really sure if it SEO related, but personally I found it rather difficult to find my way to the forums, let alone the showroom.

    vBSEO Conditional Signatures is installed and configured, my sitemap only includes threads and forum display pages, I've shortened my description, cut down the number of keywords, and removed vBA CMPS completely, so the user is directed immediately to the forum index.

    What else can I do to make the site more easily navigable and user friendly?

    Thanks for the tips, by the way.

    Your site looks very good. Well done. I wouldn't change a thing at this point.
