    Folks,
    Please review http://www.DollarShower.com/. I have optimized it for performance and hence light on graphics.

    Please let me know the following.

    1) How to reduce bounce rate with any interesting thoughts/widgets?

    2) Your comment on ad positioning? Any change required for color/font etc?

    cheers,
    Ajith

    Thank you tony, charls and clikz. Any thoughts on how to reduce bounce rate? I get reasonable traffic and the site has good authority but a lot of one page views as well.

    Thank you all for your feedback/comments.

    As for the Facebook problem, it's more than a month away from it and I really don't miss it :)

    I only use FB for games and having fun with some close friends, so it's not like anybody will spam me with stuff or me spamming others with some social crap.

    Thx kevincook.

    @al3x4ndr, which color are you talking about? The logo part or top navigation bar/google link unit colors? Thanks.

    Hi, make the tekst and punch line in the heading readable by google, and put it in a h1 tag, that will be a good start ;) If you want a special font look at the googel font api ;)

    Thank you all.

    @itmind, thanks for that tip. The punchline was an h2 sometime back :) The logo is still with h1.

    @longdouble, yes and no :) The content was always there, however I did a little bit of redesigning for fast loading and ended up losing some styles. So thought of getting a review done. The real reason for the review is that this theme is developed by myself and I am not a web designer lol. It was based on the old styling of copyblogger blog and a couple of others :)

    Well, a little bit of marketing and buzz wouldn't hurt either right ?

    I like how you have two sidebars to spread out your content and keep bounce rate down. Very cool design, maybe you could space it out some more but other than that it looks good.
