    How can I improve on the content, layout and getting organic traffic? Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

    A lot of information. Good content... but it's a little confusing. I would like to see the stories in the center of the page.

    Thanks treehouse for the kind feedback.

    Actually, I am looking more for pointers on improvement to my organic traffic, an aspect which I am still lacking.

    Roy,

    It may sound a bit confusing for those who are not familiar with the investment field, but I do try my best to make the content user-friendly.

    Putting the content in the center... I may give this a try. :)

    I agree with the confusion and that the blog content should be more prominent and in the center of the page (or at least the left two thirds of the page with only 1 column on the right). Also, regarding the content, I think you should cite your sources and provide more external links. It will make your content more useful for your readers and make your blog seem more credible. You can see this on the Big Picture, one of the most successful investment blogs: http://bigpicture.typepad.com/

    I am working on my external linking as I read that it can improve traffic too.

    As for confusion, I will appreciate if you let me know which part so I can write another post to further simplify the concepts. :)

    Currently you have 3 columns I think the site would be more user friendly if you
    merged the 2 columns on the right into 1 column and made the column on
    the left wider.
