I find it easy to navigate and it is useful in discovering new sites if you're a neophyte (like me!). I've already found 2 interesting new websites that I've never heard of before that I have bookmarked.

OP: But how will you monetize this?

I'm glad you like it! All the interesting ways to monetize the site come after Amzini reaches a critical mass of users. The focus now is on usability and site improvement rather than CTRs and other Ad metrics.

If Amzini can get a large amount of traffic, we will be able to do things such as offering thorough sponsored reviews to give social networks/communities exposure, create industry reports and do other consulting-type work, offer premium plans for small business/marketers for additional features, and create interesting info-graphics or articles to help maintain high traffic.

The difficult part is getting to a 'critical mass' of users to establish Amzini in the market and allow more ways to monetize the site than Adsense.
