    Tell me what you think and provide any advice to improve the site?

    Go to http://www.OptionHustler.com

    Advice I'm seeking:
    - Usability Improvements?
    - How to increase Click Thru Rate (CTR)?
    - Anything else that might be useful?

    There's too much going on. When I go to your website I don't have any idea what you want me do primarily. Do you want me to read, subscribe to your RSS feed, join your list, click all your ridiculous amount of Web 2.0 links?

    The layout confuses me on what you want me to. I recommend collecting people's name and email addresses with a unblockable pop-up and then having a normal style blog.

    There's just way too much going on. What do you want me to do? Have one main purpose or action you want me to take and then focus totally on that action. Make everything else secondary.

    Study these blogs here:

    terrydean.org
    ewenchia.com
    problogger.net

    You want to increase your CTR but on what specifically?

    Hope this helps.

    The site is loading little bit slow. The flash and the images took too much of time for loading, check it out..

    Hey 2advance you want to check your isp to make sure no issues there because I've tried several different connections (friends, family and my own) and no lag time loading so not sure what you're experiencing.

    John went to the blogs you provided and found them to be very similar to my layout. The only difference was the featured gallery I have on mine so not sure what is confusing you with the layout. Also, I've found users hate the unblockable pop ups and makes them runaway from the site. I might consider it again but I guess I'll have to find the best way for doing it. I'm trying to increase my CTR on my adsense ads on the site(posts, ads, feeds, etc.) Any ideas?
