Hi Krystal

I don't like to bash people's sites and hope that you will find my comments constructive.

Firstly, small point but it damages credibility, you need to correct your spelling of 'legitimate'.

The site looks neat enough, but the content is nothing new and as it promotes Clickbank products and the like it's not very believable. I'm guessing that the site was made using a program like review site dollars or similar? This type of program used to work once upon a time but the web moves fast.

The domain name is not the best either. Where are your visitors coming from and how are they finding you? How long do they stay? Traffic is one thing but quality traffic is something else entirely. What constitutes a lot of visitors? Your site has no rank or traffic statistics at places like Alexa or Compete or Google largely because the domain is only three weeks old.

Affiliate marketing takes time and work, overnight success is extremely rare.

Have you honestly reviewed each one of the advertised programs? Have you really tested thousands of work at home opportunities? If your visitors doubt that you have, they will not buy from your site, and, I'm sorry to say, I didn't believe it when I landed on your page. People can spot these things a mile away and it's just not a credible claim. Selling anything online usually requires a lot of work, building trust and loyalty from your potential customers and this just won't do it.

You are trying to sell electronic products and "opportunities" for which the market is already saturated, and, I'm sorry to say, static "cookie cutter' sites like this are no longer the way to go. You are swimming in a huge pond with far more experienced marketers of these types of offers. My recommendation would be to study all you can in these forums - there is a lot of advice from far more successful affiliate marketers than me to steer you towards success. Find some blogs by experienced people (there are several who are members here) and study their tips and techniques.

(There is plenty of information on these forums about Clickbank and why it's not always a good place to start).

I'm sorry to sound so negative, but I'm sure others will tell you a similar story. Don't lose heart though, because you are in the right place here to learn from some very knowledgeable people.
