What you think of my website and give me some tips if you have any!

Well, I have a hard time putting too much faith in a 'security' website
that defines a hacker as:

One who uses programming skills or programmes to gain illegal access to
a computer, computer network, Server, Mainframe or file, to steal
information.

... which is terribly inaccurate.  I feel I am a hacker, but I don't use
programming skills or programs to gain illegal access to anything... nor
do I attempt to steal information.

Me too, I have been told I am a hacker, but I have very rarely
done any of the things he said!

Your definition of hacking is far too restrictive, as well.

I think you'll want to rework your site to use the terms cracker and
cracking instead of hacker and hacking... here's some info for you:

http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/hacker.html
http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/cracker.html

I didn't get beyond your definitions page, so can't comment much on
anything else on the site.

That means you missed:

"Pop-ups:
Evil things that anoy everyone. Some have to crosses at the top to
close the window you want to click the one at the very top. Some
redirect you to sites and others are just normal pop-ups the most
likely place to find pop-ups are in cheat sites or game downloads
or just 'Cheap' sites."

Maybe we should point out that Geoshities have pop up adverts
in the corner when you visit them, I guess that must be the "Cheap"
site then 8o)  Nothing more annoying (Spelt correctly) than that

The "software you should buy" page has no software on it, maybe
that means there is nothing worth buying?  If I were him the first
thing on my list would be a spell checker!

"Links to other peoples websites like mine and proffesional
companies."

Nothing looks more professional, than misspelling professional!

"Explains what viruses are ; hackers, haking, spaming ect."

I know what hacking is, but not haking.  Same goes for spaming,
I know that spamming is posting messages promoting crap
security web sites in a group all about Seti!
