My blog, i have a bad feeling

    Well what i want is a review of my blog but please give quality suggestions, its in my signature.

    My bad feeling is that i am stuffing the product down the visitors throat, and im spooking them off.

    Questions:
    1. Am I stuffing the products down the visitors throat?
    2. What is a good way to recommend products without saying "this is the best product ever"?
    3. If you own a niche website/blog could you please post your url so I could see examples?

    thanks so much guys!

    I truly think your advertisement is very confusing. The banner and title of the ad make absolutely no sense to me. If I were you, I would make the title less confusing, change the banner to something a little less "in your face" and only put 2 or 3 lines of text. If you put too much ad copy users will have no reason to click your banner.

    If you are TRULY serious about your ad and making money on your site, you should spend some of your money hiring someone to redesign your page and writing you good ad copy.

    Here are the "quality" suggestions
    1. Get a new theme
    2. re-do your ad completely
    3. Have somebody either write your articles for you or pay people to proofread. Your grammar is terrible. You have so many run-on sentences and misplaced punctuations. (I know I do too)

    Good Luck... Sorry if my reply seemed too harsh.

    I don't agree with this. Clicking the ad is related to many things of your blog.

    I like the design - nice, clean and simple.

    Not sure about the browser upgrade panel/ ad at the top though. That grabbed my attention more than the main content.

    To sell your product without saying its the best product currently on the market, you have to create a story for it that people will believe.

    When telling a story, you can´t spell it out for them. You have to word it so they will easily figure it out by themselves. If the visitor figures it out by himself, he is more likely to use your product since he will think it was his own idea and not an advertising gimmick.

    for the blog itself, you just pehaps adjust the font size to be a bit bigger and work on your spacing between ling text paragraph to mke it easier to read.

    I don't get the feeling that your shoving it down our throats but what might bother some one is lots of your affiliate links. I would do a recommends link.

    Truthfully, your blog is just a little boring to look at. I know you want a clean and simple design, but yours may be too clean. It makes me not want to read your blog as there is nothing interesting going on. The less people that stay on your blog the less money you will make off it.

    I think you should do more stuffing, give more info that you want them to go there.

    You should also try to add few relevant images in your blog post which will grab attention of blog reader. try to put information in points rather then in paragraphs...
