To be honest I found that background very distracting.  The image you have to click on before entering the site is a little dated as well as the overall design.

 

Please understand - I am not trying to just dump on you... these are the things I noticed.

Yes, absolutely use divs over tables for layout.  Tables should be used only for tabular data.

 

An example of what I mean by 'dated' is that your typeface is rather plain and generic - not that it should be fancy by any means, just maybe freshen it up some with a little CSS.

 

Regarding the background image - it's just too distracting.  All I see when I'm looking at the content is the background.  It makes for horrid aesthetics.

IMO sites where you have to click on enter to enter the site or any other type of page like that makes your website look very bad. Don't make someone click more in order to get to the main page.

 

I also agree about it being too busy.

Hey - that post was probably mine.

 

I have used google adsense before, and through my experience I learned that the more ads you have on the website the lower the click per view ratio, which means you make a lot less $$$.

 

I recommend taking all the ads down since the money you would make from them is nominal (insignificant). However, you would have a better chance to grow a community of users since the ads wouldn't distract them or interfere with the purpose of the site. You can always re-establish the ads later on...  ;D
