Smile Site review needed

Hi im fairly new but i have made 141 dollars . I was wondering if some one would review my blog for me and see if its any good and tell me what I need to change. Now yes I know my grammar is bad and that my review is cheesy but what can I say. I would just like some one to read it and tell me what needs work. Also when your blogging to make money by affiliate sales. Do you just want to right reviews about certain products relating to your niche ? Thanks anyone.

Hi Zack,
Could you give us some more details? Have you altered anything, has the traffic levels dropped or the quality of traffic changed?

A number of reasons could cause the decrease in conversions; you may even want to check to make sure everything is alright with your affiliate account.

NO ive done nothing to my blog. But add more articles. Ive taken out ads so it loads faster. I added bidvertiser pay per click ads. I changed it to a calm background. Added some pictures and as fare as I know my clickbank account is fine. The only major thing I changed was that I bought some traffic for my blog. 10,000 visitors for 12 dollars. Plus ive been pinging.When I made my money my blog was even less attractive.

Maybe its time to try a different niche.

Hi Zack,
I had to read your response a couple of times, but it appears you have done something to your blog -- in fact, many things.
  • Added Bidvertiser PPC ads
  • Changed the background
  • Added pictures

All of these things may have an impact on the conversion rates because each element adds a new distraction or feel to the website. If you're solely trying to promote an affiliate product, then don't add any page leaks (i.e. PPC ads which allows users to click out of the site).

Also, the pictures you've added may not coincide with the ideas the visitors form in their head about the product being offered and neither the background. These are things to consider when making, even small, changes to a site.

Hope that helps,
~ Teli

Remove or modify any elements that you changed just before your conversion rates dropped. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend removing the Bidvertiser adverts - they simply give the visitors another way to leave the site and possibly not come back. The focus should be on them clicking out on your affiliate link and making that purchase.

Default Some feedback

Hi

I have an seo tool that maybe of great use to you.

As i understand from your posts you had intial income from the site but it then faded out.

Firstly try and stick to the meta keywords that you have had from the start. The best thing to constantly change is the actual content. Google loves fresh updated content so changing this weekly is a good idea.

Also try and make headers and sub headers in your site into header tags (
When google reads a page it first reads the metas then immediatly looks for the header tag, if there are no header tags it assumes there is no content.

Also make all links in your site full. For example if a page links to a product.html page make the link www.yoursitename/product.html

One final thing. Sign up to robotreplay.com This is the newest and far most advanced analytic tool currently out there. It shows you a recording of where your vistor exploered with their mouse pointer so you see exaclty where the vistor reads, where they click and exaclty how long they spent on the site.

Believe me this is a great tool.

Good luck
