Well as I'm sure you were expecting, drop the tables (http://hotdesign.com/seybold) and validate your markup (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.sitesizzler.com/).
Also in the realm of things that you should already have noted, don't use click here as link text (http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/noClickHere) and use the alt attribute (http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/altAttribute).
You're missing a doctype (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp)
Your page takes too long to load (http://www.websiteoptimization.com).
-75% of buying decisions are based on emotion.
-We are exposed to over 3,000 marketing messages a day?Pseudo-psychology just makes your site look amature and puts off people who are looking for real resources.

The main content on your homepage is taken from someone elses, which just emphasizes how your site isn't that much more than a slow loading version of google with a about a millionth of the resources.

Having adverts larger than titles tells your visitors that you're more concerned about making money than helping them out.

Note that all of the above is based on your homepage, you really have your work cut out for you.

Your forum is tottaly inconsistent with the rest of your site, making it look cheap and tacked on. There are way to many boards to accomadate 21 members.

There doesn't seem to be any easy access from your forum back to your site.

Your newsletter form says nothing about any privacy policy so I wouldn't trust it even if I did want it.

Massive chunks of your site go missing with disabled javascript.

Mailto links are really irritating for people who don't use local mail clients, I'm sure your quite capable of using a form.

That's all I'm going to give you for now, I'm sure Vladdy or someonelse will have a lot more to say but as I see it your going to have enough trouble dragging your site into this century before you get it up to something quality.

Good luck, you really need it.

i couldnt agree more, having ads is bad, having some ads is pritty bad, but having to many is horrible! im sorry but i dont think you sites going to set you off in early retirment due to its adsense ads.
