    Hello,
    I like the theme of the website, should definitely grab the eye of the demographic your targeting. On the other hand I do not like the ads placement, because as soon as someone starts scrolling down on your blog then your ads disappear. This means that people are less likely to click on them which is BAD. As far as traffic going to your website you need backlinks from high pagerank websites to help increase your rank with your targeted keyword. I hope this helps!

    EDIT: I would not place the website in a PPC program, either stick with adsense or PPC, the experience I have had with trying to do both made me less money.

    You should buy a domain name for the blog, then it would help search engine rankings.
    You can join any PPC program that is okay with AdSense. You should ask specifically either Adsense team or the PPC program guys before hand.

    I personally think that the layout of the site is fine. When it comes to a site that will only make money from Adsense there is no point what so ever to do Adwords of another PPC program. You will almost have no way to make money. Stick to quality SEO and link building to move up on the search engines for the keywords that your site is optimised for.

    Oh no I understand I honestly agree with gtk29 and buy a domain, blogger has seen alot of downfalls in the last few years but there is no reason for you to not try this one out. Well think about it your ad below the comment section...do you really think many people will scroll all the way down there and see that? Maybe a few, I am not aware how blogger works anymore but I would do like what your doing:

    Header ad at the top
    If it was me I would have a long slim banner on the right hand side of the screen but in your blog you have quite a bit of other items over there such as your recent posts etc...
    The bottom I guess you can keep the ad there not sure where else blogger allows you to put it if it was my site I would put a ad right below the content before the comments and such.

    I hope those help, but I do agree if you are really going to put the effort to write content and make backlinks to the website find a good domain name buy it for $7.50 and then have someone design it for you.

    Thanks

    First, I wanna say I like the content of your site. :) I already bookmarked it. :D But the position of the Ads is a mess. You must choose the right size. Don't use that skyscrapper on the bottom of the post. It doesn't look good. Instead put it on the sidebar.

    produce content that people are searching for online in your niche, use google insights for this. That's the only good advice, other advices are shit, like backlinks and whatnot.

    @ivounnerry thanks for liking the content :), keep following and i followed your suggestion and have moved the ads.

    @MTG thnx again, you are right having a skyscrapper on right is a gr8 idea. I have switched it, let's see if it works :)

    @AStateOfLogic thanks for your opinion

    @gtk29 thanks 4 ur suggestion of buying a domain i'll think about it.

    @JamesColin thanks buddy for your great advice, i am working on my content :). One query, what do you think about the placement of ads now? I have switched them? Plus, in a blog can you have ads between the content? Coz, i could only find an option to have it after the post?


    Thanks to all of you again for your time and precious reviews :)

    You could try creating an RSS feed for your website, which you can Google to learn more about, essentially they are updates of the latest content of your website. You set up an RSS feed and then submit it to feed reading websites (again Google will help you find RSS feed sites, and google even has their own also) by submitting your feed to as many Feed Readers as you can you will create back links, and also have your sites latest content in as many locations as possible, making it more likely for people to stumble upon your website.

    Yes it does most certainly help get traffic, some times it may only get you a very small amount, sometimes it may be alot, it just Depends. But not only does it help generate traffic directly it also helps create backlinks, which helps you move up in Search Engines which indirectly helps increase traffic. Some website builders automatically have RSS feeds built in so by finding your RSS link you simply submit it to the Feed Reader site (an RSS link could look something like this "http: // your website name.com/index.php/type=rss" so basically its just a URL) so i suggest searching RSS topics about the platform your website is built on and you may find you have an automatic RSS feed and it will tell you the link to use. IF you do not have an automatic RSS feed on your platform (most do these days) you can create an RSS feed and manually update it, it is more effort then an automatic one but it is fairly simple you just log into your RSS account and just copy paste some content from your website in there ever day or couple of days (Google to find somewhere where you can set up an RSS account). Alternatively you can set up your own automatic RSS feed but this requires knowledge of PHP and XML scripting, it can be easy todo but without good knowledge in these languages i suggest staying away from setting up your own automatic feed and just doing it manually, that is if your platform doesn't have an automatic RSS feed already.

    I may of made an RSS feed sound complicated or high maintenance in this post, but i assure you it is extremely easy and very low maintenance and for the results it will give definitely well worth it.

    Hope this has helped you in some way :D

    Also Setting up FaceBook for your website is a good idea, FaceBook also has an automatic RSS feed built into it, and it uses RSS 2.0 which includes pictures, so if you include pictures with posts on your FaceBook page, and you use Feed Readers that allow 2.0 (there is hundreds of them) you will have an RSS feed with pictures, this can be very useful if your site sells products. The only downside is the RSS feed will not create as many back links for your Website, and will Redirect to your FaceBook page instead of website. BUT in saying that by including the link to your actual website in your FaceBook posts people can click that link in the RSS feed to go directly to your website, and it will essentially create some back links for your site.
