Anyone care to give my blog a once over?

    I started this blog to keep track of my progress and perhaps make a few quid of it from Amazon affiliate links:

    http://gymtales.wordpress.com/

    I've had seven clicks so far and no orders.

    Is there anything I can do to monetise it or should I give up and try my hand at something else?

    I have a link going to it from two forums I post on, one related to gym stuff, one not.

    Thanks.

    like the format, but one column hurts it. I'd look for a 2 column theme and go with that. makes the content too far over to the left in one "long" column. good luck

    Thanks for looking. I wanted four columns as it would be easier to make the link visible as I could have two columns of them rather than one column with everything in it.

    Shame I can't customise it more.

    you need traffic and sales will come. Promote hard and you will see sales, 7 clicks is nothing so far, get to 100 a day and then you will see almost a sale a day

    i am not a fan of these 4 column theme blogs because it seem to limit the posts exposure, in my opinion. try something like 3 columns. my cent :)

    ah and might as well, use a blogspot.com blog - it's safer to use for the purposes of making money online, while wp.com is a free which forbids such.

    Thanks. I'm going to move them over to my own hosting shortly.

    I have a pretty big monitor so the 4 columns look really small on my screen. Id go for a 2 column design.

    Cheers. I like 4 columns as you can have lots of channels of links but its probably not that user friendly.

    Will try and find a better one when I move it to my hosting.
