    Hello DP :) Would you guys please review my site? I just finished it about 3-4 days ago? I'm very surprised. It's my first ever real website that I'm paying for hosting and domain name and everything. I got listed on google within like 30 hours :D Pretty happy!

    So tell me what you think please :D about ad placement search placement and anything else. Any comments, questions, suggestions of improvement or anything are appreciated. Thanks guys!

    It looks like you have some good content on your site. Ad placement looks pretty good, I would probably put one in the center of each page in between the content.

    My biggest problem is the ugly plain layout. A random visitor is not going to stick around to read your content with a design like that. (If you want a custom design let me know. ;) )

    Design is not bad. I would create a logo, and put a banner next to it, where you currently have Google Custom Search.

    Good placement of ads. I like how you didn't just bombard us with ads, but just four simple ads on the main page.

    I would work on your grammar though. If you need me to be specific I will post again or pm me.

    Also, niche is just too crowded. You have quite a competition. If you need me to I can name 37 other blogs that have been around for some time that are in the same niche as yours.

    Thank you for saying I have good content :) I wrote it all. Yay I tweaked my ad placement soooo many times lol till it felt right. By doing this i learned a bit of html :D Alright thanks for the tip.I'll do that.. put ads in middle of content. Since I haven't even got one click yet from adsense lol

    Sorry it's an ugly plain layout. I had an idea for this site.. and I couldn't find hardly any good looking free tri-fold layouts and didn't have money to pay for one. And I was told a white background is good for business sites and "don't try to reinvent the wheel, black on white looks best" etc.

    Aw thank you sir I hope it helps you. Yea a little plain.

    Hmm create a logo and put a banner next to it.. text or image? or both? and then where do i put the google custom search?

    Glad it doesn't feel like i bombarded with ads :) would it be bombarding if I put 1 more ad on each page between the content?

    Work on my grammer :( yea.. I just kinda typed out how I talk and then did a quick look through for spelling and changed a few words and adding keywords to get on the first page of google for the keywords i want.

    Yes the niche is very crowded but I think i present a method that not many people know about and it's the fastest way I ever made money online and it's easy to just give this site to anyone in person and have them go to it and understand it at least to some point after reading the first 3 pages.


    Thank you very much guys for your comments and suggestions!

    Banner, i would use image, if you can't do that, then use google adsense, that would work for me. At least I would do that. Move custom search down to the right column, right above the big ad that you have.

    Putting more ads, maybe, maybe not. If you want to. What you can do is something I did with my site (my signature). I have an add at the end of the article on the second page, not between articles. If you do visit my site, click on read more on one of the articles and you can see the additional ad. You can do that without looking like your spamming.

    When it comes to grammar and punctuation I just (this again is just a personal opinion) would make sure it sounds as good as possible, because you are helping people make money online. So it needs to be correct. It needs to be right. If visitors see your misspelling every third sentence they are not likely to come back. Or if they dont understand your vocabulary they are not likely to come back.

    About your niche, just keep working. You have to be better than your competitors and you will succeed, I will say that much. You just have to be better than a few, once you beat them, you will get their visitors, and just repeat...

    Alright thanks again :D I will do that. I will add the banner in my title bar and move search down to the sidebar :) thanks.
    I'm curious how much you make from adsense with your blog. You only have one verrrrrrrry small block ad on your main page then the smallest banner on your individual blog entries. Hm.

    Maybe I should have someone edit my site for me sometime to fix my grammar problems :(

    Thank you for your help :)

    Yea I have made only 1 cent from my website in 3 days but I will continue working at it hahaha

    Thank you for saying it's a good site :D hmm I've been up all night I guess i'll spend several hours tomorrow searching for a new template then transfer everything ever.. someone gave me a good idea to make the template green and white since it has to do with money making lol. what do you guys think?

    Hmm more useful tips.. yea.. that's what I was gonna try and make a blog for =\ this is all complicated yet fun. My website is a real way to make some extra money.. but the problem is it's mostly only for people in the U.S. :(

    I have to say, your content is really good. Seriously, very well written and plenty of stuff to read.

    However, I think the design will be an issue. People want aesthetically pleasant sites, and not too many people are going to stick around unless you get some colors in there. Unfortunately, people claim to care mostly about quality, but they generally tend to care about websites look too.

    Good stuff Mystic

    Aw :) thank you very much for saying my content is good :) I tried to make it kinda fun to read.. but some people say my grammar is bad :( I'm still wanting to add lots more content but I'm having focusing problems lol juggling between adding backlinks and answering questions on sites and getting my links out there and writing articles and trying to have a real life too lol.

    Yea :( I get that a lot.. 10 times a day.. design is an issue.. can you recommend a place to get a free template or what should I do to improve it? I guess I should have thought more about that in the beginning haha. Even me when I'm searching for a site with good info and i'm looking at several several sites and clicking the exit button over and over I will only read the first paragraph or titles and see the way the website looks and that determines whether i stay or not =\
