Please review my health blog

    Hello,

    I've been working on my health blog for 6 months or more now and would be interested in your feedback on the design, content, placement etc.

    I am struggling to improve rankings for my main keywords which have very low search volume/competition. My competitors all have hardly any backlinks (I have 1000+) but they have 8 years+ aged domains.

    Do you think I am being penalised for 'keyword stuffing' or just being a newish site?

    The design is based on the revolution theme with a static front page. I also have zencart stores which dropship a range of health products

    Your feedback is appreciated

    Cheers!

    Hi, I saw your blog. I think its great. Just remember that you need to know the right words for your products as well as the health problems they relate to. If i want to gain weight, I would never know the name "XXXXX" unless i see your site. However, if you have keywords pounds, muscles, good looks etc, then i will be able to reach your site. Good Luck!

    Maybe your trying to optimism to many key words? Focus on one mani search then go from there once you have success on it. Also you say you have 1000 links but its all about the quality not just quantity.

    Thanks for the advice - i'm trying to optmize for the keyword 'Herbal Fiberblend' but worried that I might have 'over optimized' for this keyword - does anyone have any advice on this?

    Also do you think I couple improve clickthroughs from the WP site to the zencart stores?

    Thanks for all your advice so far
