    Hey guys,

    I have a blog about trading at http://www.israelispeculator.com/blog

    I offer what I consider top-notch content that most blogs do not. The problem is that my traffic is still very low considering I also put excel links, examples and etc..

    Am I writing too technically?

    Thanks a lot

    A few suggestions:
    - move the text on your header away from the edges
    - use a larger airbrush for erasing the edge of the left photograph for a smoother transaction
    - Make the width a few pixels wider to match the bar below

    The content area looks good, it's pretty organized.

    your header does not look good . if you change it (maybe using a logo with diffrent header colours), it may be better. content area is very good . i think you must only focus on your header

    I won't say too technically, but you are targeting topics that very few people may be interested in.

    There is no doubt you have great content on your blog.

    Most option traders are tip seekers and want easy money. Very few are interested in learning the mathematics behind option prices.

    Using the DP keyword tool, one can see the top 10 options related keywords:

    option 4,943.3 /day
    option trading 3,102.0 /day
    fortune make option trading 1,227.8 /day
    option stock 660.1 /day
    online option trading 382.6 /day
    future option 326.7 /day
    mortgage one option 300.8 /day
    option stock trading 232.8 /day
    future option trading 204.2 /day
    call option 200.5 /day

    Try to use these keywords in your page titles and internal links...maybe that will boost your SERPs a bit. Make them bold if suitable.

    Also, as your site is just four months old, it will take sometime for you to do well in Google. Have patience. :).

    Limit the number of outgoing links from your site - if they aren't paid links, make them no follow links.

    1. Try to improve the loading speed of your website
    2. On the banner, the second line is not as visible as it could be
    In rest, I like the website

    The site is a bit slow to load and I;d like to seem some more color as its very much black and white. But its great contents that you got there. Maybe less articles on the front page so that it loads faster. People can always click the links in the latest post area...

    The "published" line is almost to grey so one almost don't see what it says...

    Overall a good site

    mate content is great
    the only problem is with opening time of your site which could be easily resolved by taking care of webhosting service
    the other thing i would like to suggest is to go for seo

    Content is great. I just think that the red eyed bull is not very relevant with the site. You'll be needing a nicer header. :)

    the content of the your site is good, the navigation is good. my suggestion is please put the example how to apply your techniques in real trade, you can name the stock symbols and the appropriate techniques and when to do it.

    the content looks good, and I think you should persevere - it's a great niche you're in - I also have a trading related website :)
