Please Review My First Affiliate Site

    Hello,
    Could you please comment on my first affiliate site?

    http://www.health-reviewer.com

    It is the first time I make a site 100% devoted to affiliate programs (clickbank) and I've added original articles and videos to it for content. I'm sure it has problems because I'm new at affiliate marketing, but I want to keep on improving it and adding more content.

    My goal with it is to sell information products from clickbank marketplace, but what could I do/add/change to make it more successful?

    Let me know your honest opinion, thank you!

    Thank you, about the video on home page it is one video which change each week, I made this script to show one video and link to the site, a different one each week. As it is large I can either put it on the top of the homepage or at the bottom, I can't insert it in the content space on the right of the menu column. So that's why it is on top. But on other pages of the site, the content is at the top of the page.

    Big black screen, what do you mean? The laptop image or the background color? The laptop image should have a youtube video starting automatically.

    Good design, and maybe you can replace the share button.

    Yes, what do you mean? Do you think there are just too many buttons and that it is useless? That I should limit to just the 3-4 most popular ones?
    I thought about it before but I didn't change it, do you think it matters really?

    I Think embedding the buttons directly on your page is better, but it's only my opinion.

    Hi James,
    Your site looks like you have put a lot of work into it, brilliant!
    Personally I don't like it when I enter a site and a video plays straight away, I have always found that annoying but that's just a silly thing that is annoying to me but other than that I think you could make a huge amount of money on this from sales or even from selling your site if that is what you are intending to do in the future.
    Regards Polly.

    @RoundShots I finally understand what you mean, it's the floating addthis.com script at bottom right, right?
    You're right I'll remove it, I think I have the social sharing button many times already within the content, having it also as a floating script will not magically prompt visitors to share my pages on social sites, I think I was delluded, that's it, thank you for opening my eyes on this, I'll remove it now.

    @pollytoast thank you for your review, at the moment I don't intend to sell it because my plan is to increase my clickbank earnings, so I'll try with this site and also other sites. My first goal is to reach $2,000 per month with clickbank, with this site and others, so really until I reach this goal, which could take a long time, I'm not thinking of earning money by building/selling sites. About the video on autoplay, I understand the feeling because I felt the same with musics on autoplay when it was common back in the days :) But for videos, it's not exactly the same since there is no loud music and it might help grab the attention, plus it saves a click.. But I'll keep your comment in mind and will evaluate in the future if I receive more complaints/comments about this, because usually when I do something bad (like putting too many ads) I sure receive comments from annoyed people, and if I receive 3 or 4 in a few weeks it means it was annoying for 10,000 people :)

    Do you have ideas on how to make it more appealing? What other things I could add? I don't think a forum is the right move now because the traffic is too low, but what other things could I add/modify to make it more useful to people?
