Site review please

I just reorganized all the navigation at Retire With Millions and I was looking fro some constructive criticism from you guys since you are the affiliate experts.

Thanks!

The first thing I thought was "not another how to be a millionaire site". I am not criticizing you, I am just wondering how are you going to make this site different than all the others? What are you offering that I can't find elsewhere?

The next thing is the color of your Google Ads. The ads
need to blend in with the site colors.

Lastly I'd like to challenge you to think about the long term. Is this a site you built for people to keep coming back to, or are you just hoping to score some quick clicks?

Good luck!

Well... you asked, so here goes.

The yellow text is really hard to read on the brown background on your home page. Your inner pages that are plain old black on white look a lot cleaner. I think the deep 3D header and the scrolling message make the site look dated.
There are a ton of really nice, clean modern FREE templates out there you could use. Here are several resources: Anyone can suggest some web site templates resources?

You asked about the navigation. I feel the topics are way too scattered and you would have more luck marketing if you focused on one area. Trying to cover free hosting, tech news, real estate and so many things that don't go together can throw the engines and your visitors off. All those subjects each by itself are very competitive and trying to cover them all well may be spreading yourself too thin. See if you can come up with a niche that isnt already being marketed to death. A different angle or focus on a specific demographic or something.

I also agree with everything Cherryie said. Cherryie, thanks for jumping in with your feedback.

Check out some of the stickies in our newbie forum and then the niche forum.
I think you will learn some things that may help your efforts.

My 2 cents...

Nothing new to add, just that I tend to look askance at get rich sites and ignore them and I really want to be rich

I guess that's all I got.

Yeah. I got really bored with it really fast. I think I will let it die. It pays for itself in adsense, but I think I will focus on getting the content (workout, massage and nutrition) onto my other site

Thanks for the input!

[dcrew]

I just want to thank everyone who responded on this post or sent me e-mails with site suggestions. I just wanted you all to know that I took them seriously and reworked my sites according to your suggestions (as much as my skills allowed).

Thank you all very much.

It's affiliate's journey with an apostrophe, not affiliates journey. It's that kind of thing that affects trust.

Also, white text on dark background I think is very widely regarded as a bad idea which is why so few sites use it. Certainly, it's been proven through eye strain studies that reading white on dark text hurts the eyes and takes longer.
