This blog is 1.5 months old. What should I do to improve?

    I've got some ideas up my sleeve for this blog, but curious if you guys see anything that's out of whack right away when you visit? This blog is called fantasydraftstrategy.com and is geared towards playing fantasy baseball and fantasy football. It's a pretty new blog and currently getting about 80 page views per day. I haven't been able to take the next step yet in building it up, so I want to know what you think I should do. I'm up to 58 backlinks right now and that number climbs every day.

    Create facebook and twitter pages - try to start a small fantasy draft community of regular users sharing thoughts and ideas.

    Isn't that always the case? I was looking for more on-page feedback for aesthetics when customers come and visit. Any suggestions?

    I'm not looking to buy any fans. I want a real, targeted audience and that is something that buying fans doesn't provide. Thanks for the offer though.

    The font of your header (where it says "Fantasy Draft Strategy" / "Winning a championship starts with the draft") could be improved. I'd go with a sans serif font.

    Even better would be to have graphic designer put together a really nice, slick-looking page header. You can find someone on fiverr.com to do that for only $5.

    Backlinking, maybe write some high quality guestposts?

    Yeah, I've been working on finding some high PR sites within my niche to submit to without having to exchange links.

    Thanks! I'm currently having my brother develop a few different logo designs for various blogs. Not ready yet, but that's definitely in the plans. Good advice though and I'll keep that site in mind as well.

    your up to 58 backlinks? Sounds like you have put in alot of effort. I just wanted to mention that there are free backlink generators, and they can make 1000-2500 backlinks for you. Just google them.

    I know that you cant make too many in one day but i havnet heard of 1000-2500 in one day causing dramas.

    Sarcastic much? Actually, I do put in a lot of effort. My links all come from real relevant sites, not garbage sites that are part of article networks which are getting delisted by Google and subsequently penalizing associated sites. Not my style. I'll build my way with high PR, relevant industry links.

    Hi,
    Please try to add some following features:
    1. Graphic in the header related to Baseball and appropriate LOGO. Your header should be very attractive to make people stay on your blog.
    2. Your Forum isn't matching with WordPress theme please update it accordingly for symmetry.
    3. Replace the default Comment Box with Facebook. It is proven People use Facebook Comment more than WP Default Comment Box.
    4. Attach your Blog Posts with Facebook Fan Page for update each post on Page for create the Viral Effect.
    5. Update your content on Regular Basis. This is the Key Point.

    Rest of things are looking great. Wish you best of Luck
