    Hello!

    I have just created my own fitness and health blog. I don't have my own domain yet because I don't know how and no money to purchase anything yet.

    http://fitnessunleashed.blogspot.com/

    What do I need to improve? Are fitness and health keyword enriched in Google searches, and is this niche being searched by many visitors daily?

    I need your advice guys! Thanks!

    Get rid of the jukebox. Sound on a website is a big no no if you want returning visitors/visitors staying on for more than a second. Also, getting a domain name is simple. Check out www.godaddy.com or www.moniker.com and you get get a .com domain for between $8 - $11. Then, you'll need hosting which can be found for really cheap as well. It's an inexpensive startup and if you're serious about your blog, I would make the investment.

    +1 Kill the music. Most people who sit at a computer already have access to tons of music.

    Thanks guys! I'll just remove the jukebox. But if you have any suggestions which I can increase traffic and generate clicks in my ad, or tips to increase my Google PR, I would love to hear from you, as I need it.

    Thanks!

    The content of the blogs are good but i think you can change the template to some other wider templates that uses the full width.....

    Good working site. I would suggest however to follow the following :)
    1) Change your theme. People looking for health answers need something nice and simple to read.
    2) Its better to add a summary rather than a full article on your first page.
    3) Make better categorizations
    4) If you have extra funds you can get some really cheap domains or maybe even a health related .info.
    Wish you luck. :)

    Thanks for all of your help guys! But where could I get those themes that best fits for my fitness and health blog?

    For wptheme, what kind of summary are you talking about on the first page? How can I do that and what categorizations I might implement for this? So far, I still have no funds for a cheap domain.

    Thanks guys! I just need more ideas also!

    Choose, there are dozens and loads or great blogger template.
    http://www.google.com/search?q=blog...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    I am currently using WP so I am not sure but if I am not wrong you can make the articles display summary at frontpage and ask your users to click read more if they want. See example my blog (see recent blog) if your interested to see an example.
    Goodluck.

    Hello guys! I've changed the name of the website to a unique name and updated a new template for my blog.

    http://zengard.blogspot.com/

    I have problems in changing the name of Zengard to Fitness Unleashed, no matter how many times I change it, its still Zengard, and I have four "parent title" which directs to nothing. Anyone who can help with this?

    Thanks! I hope you like the template.
