    Hi,

    I've been working on this natural remedy blog about arthritis. I'm not worried that much about design particularly.

    What I'd like to know is if the blog post titles seem interesting or relevant. I am trying to decide the best way to monetize it and have some affiliate links on it as well as an opt-in form. Do you think the ads are too blatant? Too many? Not enough? Better way to present ads?
    This is it: Beat Arthritis

    I would really appreciate your feedback,
    Thanks,
    Diane

    The way you presented the ads plus writing a review for it looks ok and I think if I were you, I would do the same as well. However, Just some suggestions, maybe in order to make the ads more attractive, try to incorporate other relevant information such as accompanying expert articles to connect to the product and how it might help to overcome the problem.

    I assume you're referring to the picture ads, not the text links? I'll take a look at doing that, thanks.

    I am not over all impressed by the theme, but other than that, I think that you should make better use of your categories to organize the info better, and help with navigation. Why do you have (2) "Arthritis Remedies" categories ?

    i would change the URL. it's way too long for anyone to remember or type-in. Content seems ok but i'm sure you can make a better blog.

    Health is always popular category, I'd maybe make your list of arthritis types stand out a little more... semi joking... maybe an arthritis link cloud.:)
