Hi,

The article background might look better with a light color and text with a dark color.

I agree with Carlmasure. A darker colored text and a light background will be much, much better.

May I ask if you used buying keywords? These words convert well to sales.

I also noticed that you have multiple keywords on your meta tags. It will be better to optimize each page on only one keyword so that it will be easier to do on-page SEO and get an "A" rating in Traffic Travis.

Did you choose products with high Clickbank gravity? You might also want to check if the merchant's site has a good sales page.

Hi Pm,
Sorry if I offend you but I think you would rather hear it straight than have people beat around the bush.
Good try for your first site though, and It is good because you learnt along the way.

1. Your site colors need to be more complimentary to one another.
2. What the guys said about dark backgrounds is spot on
3. Why have such an important part of your site ( Above the fold ) covered with a picture, it is a waste of space to me even though the picture is appealing.
4. The top banner looks amateurish to me, but good for a first try.
5. You have a banner ad by google at the bottom. Do you want sales of your affiliate products or do you want people to leave your site after clicking on a banner?
6. Those keywords you have chosen for this niche are terrible mate.
I would never search for "Get a life" if I was looking for relationship advice.

Have you taken the affiloblueprint course at all? Just wondering.

Hope that helps and again, no offence.

Regards
Troy

I looked at a couple of pages and your links to the products are not big enough and they are not blue, they just blend in with the rest of the articles. I am just guessing that not many people are going to find the link going to your clickbank product.
Let your viewers know where they need to click.

I think that you should have your links change color when hovered over or clicked. Also I agree that the banner upto looks very bad. Throws me off with that banner and then the nice picture below it.
