    Well, honestly, it looks like a site built with a very cheap turnkey recipe site script, no offense, I'm trying to help you mate ;).

    - You could improve the design. (Very important)
    - You can add extra unique content to the site.
    - Maybe a better logo.
    - I dont know, but there's something with the domain, that is not working for me, I expected something different than a recipe site when I read top-guides.info

    Hope this comments help you.

    Peace and best regards.

    I agree with Inzpiration, you need some color, It seems as if you have lots and lots of content as far as recipes and that's good.

    You could always add some cooking guides for more in-depth wordsy content and this way you could do some Internal Linking for On-Site SEO.

    You urls are not good, these characters ?R* are not great for indexing and may cause you problems, a simple URL works best www.yourdomain.com/breads/sourdough
    www.yourdomain.com/seafood/shrimp-salad

    Anyway I bookmarked it for the great and plenty recipes,
    thanks

    Your Welcome!

    I notice in your sig link that the anchor you are using for your site is top-guides? Is this the keyword you want to rank for in the SERPS?

    Because if not you should always be using your keywords in the anchor text for all your links. The links in this forum are do-follow and show up in serps, so the anchor is important.

    If you are not sure about anchor text please read my blog post on this, it is really crucial for ranking for your keywords:

    I like the domain name, but why isn't there images for the recipes? I like how you made the google ads match your site skin. Once you read a recipe theres no back button, on the page, I think that there should be one. Overall An impressive start.

    I don't like the url. It does not make me think about cooking or recipies. And I agree that the front page does not look very appealing. You need more material to make me think food when I see your home page.

    I LOVE the banner, it's great. Are those your main KW in the title of the banner? Make sure they are.

    Also put a link in the footer back to your home page with your main KW in the anchor.

    Also link back to the home page with your main keywords within every page of content, for example, recipe + diet tips home, this helps with navigation for your visitors AND really helps with your on-site SEO.

    You can add an about page where you can use your keywords again and link back to the home page.

    Good luck!

    the header is really nice. The "R*" factor in the url's are still there . I don't know whether they are good or bad , but it's unusual.6/10
