more work, less traffic - law of diminishing return: What's wrong with my site?

    I've been writing 500-2000 word articles on my site, high content and quality at www.bigmoneyforum.com. It's supposed to be that writing more content would mean more pages in Google and more traffic, especially when I have the back links helping out as well, all pages out of the supplemental index and Google visiting my site on a daily basis.

    Can anyone find out what is wrong with my site. I think it's highly unusual that I am working harder and harder and getting less and less traffic and that traffic has slowly been declining over the period of a month to almost nothing.

    Nice site.

    On-page looks pretty much ok - think its your linking strategy.

    Can you give an example of a keyword you'd like to rank for - pm me if you like

    Regards
    Brian

    I took a look at your site. I am no SEO pro, but have tinkered with SEO for 5 - 6 years now. I do have some decent traffic/rank sites. You are doing everything correct. Your site is awesome. I did a Whois on your domain, and your site is still young. Just keep on plugging away and it will eventually come to you! My 1st site I had, I was always working on it, doing SEO, adding content, getting links, etc, etc, etc... I could match you story for story! I eventually gave up on that site. Didn't check stats, rankings, affiliate conversions, etc. But, after 6 months, it was doing great in the serps. Sometimes, it just takes time. I think my site went 6 - 12 months after I gave up, before it started bringing in some decent traffic. Good luck though, your site looks good and you appear to be on the right track. PS- Get those adwords up closer to the top, maybe use the Google ad links instead or in addition to what you have. (After it is moved up). Also, you are in a tough market... Keep fighting, and it will happen!

    I dont like the look of your site to be honest..
    I believe it needs some flash and a boost from the 1990s to the 2000s..

    Right when i saw your site, as an audience it seemed to look like one of those "Get rich scams"

    Other then that.. everything above is true lol
    also i want to point out that traffic isnt instant.. just keep working on it :D
