    First, i can tell that you're not a native English speaker. If you wrote the articles yourself, I can guarantee that you will not have good results. Poorly written articles just seem unprofessional...


    Second, i noticed there were a lot of errors on your website's landing page. Remember, first impression is everything!


    However, I would like to say that your website's layout is pretty good. And the domain name is great also. By making a few content corrections, you should get a much better response...

    You're not a native English speaker. No matter where I go, I see misspellings and incorrect grammar. Hire somebody to fix that for you. The design was good tho.

    That site has one article on the home page,,,, it really needs more then that. Expand it to at least 8 - 10 articles, add some videos, add some pictures,,,.

    When I landed on your site, the first thing I thought was "is this it?" Add some more content to the home page, get something on there that makes people stick around for a little while.

    You should give more content on your site, change layout and also try some SEO. Try also to do your content easly accesable for your visitors.

    Maybe too much advertising. Put ONLY ONE Ad box. And especially take out those infolinks!
    Put 5 articles on the front page of the blog.
    Check out some seo keyword optimizing.

    I would study askthebuilder.com and do everything they do - also write teasing articles with links people have to follow to get information they crave... Foodies are a good demographic - Google Dick Pringle (the new celebrity chef on the block0 he might have some tips. The site didn't load well so I came of it - I think pictures of delicious food and names of celebrities who eat it would be good. Also, what do you make from each reader? Spend less on adwords to attract more...

    I was experiencing the same thing as you some few months back until i got to optimize my site for the search engines and started building back links. Afterall, building back links is part of driving traffic to our site.

    Do more of article marketing and using your chosen keywords as anchor text.

    Write a blog post daily and include your anchor text.

    Submit your site to the directories.

    Participate in forums and make useful post.

    Bookmark you site.

    Goodluck.

    You should probably work on your grammar. It doesn't matter if you are a native speaker or not, as long as you have a good content and your readers understand what you're saying then it's all good. This site helps, grammarsnob.ca

    I'd like to know how you do your link building and how do you promote your website. Try blog commenting. Pcik those blogs with high traffic and relevant to your own blog. Sooner or later you'll get their visitors too and they might linked you too in their blogroll.
