Hi obelix112za,

Welcome to 5 Star and thanks for starting things off right by asking a question.
I'll be frank...

When I look at your site I see several common mistakes many new affiliates make.

The scatter gun approach - really tough to optimize and get traffic for a "mall" type site carying lots of unrelated products. Some affiliates find it's easier to get started with a niche so you can build lots of pages of content around one theme. Search engines sometimes like this too and it's easier to optimized for.

Using free site builders - again tough to do the custom SEO you need to

ClickBank - all the links I checked were for CB. I think CB is one of the toughest ways to start. Reports are terrrible and lots of links get overwritten. Also Super competive.

Don't be discouraged. Just read and learn. Almost everyone starts where you did. Hope this helps and best of luck! I hope some affiliates will give you their 2 cents as well.
