Hi! I have just started a work guide blog for career, interview, resume and business writing. I've done all of the onpage SEO thing and submitted this blog to around a thousand directories. I get somewhat 30 to 40 visitors per day (max), but I feel like something is really wrong with my site since the traffic ain't converting into clicks, and we all know that no clicks mean no income. I would really really appreciate your suggestions and constructive criticisms. Here is the site: http://workguides.net
Some are my original articles. But some peeps kept spamming my blog comments so I had to delete them. Then, there were some guys who actually read our guidelines (I think it was over a month ago), and said they will be happy to share some articles as long as they get to post their names and websites. I posted those, then CopyScaped it... found out they were "spinned", and they all point to their respective sites (around 10, I think). I didn't mind though since it ain't our original articles anyway. Are those bad?
This is just a personal thing, but when I get hit in the face with google ads at the top of the screen I won't bother reading the rest of the page.
Should I remove the leaderboard and replace it with something else? Or should I trash the whole <div> tag for that?
You mean, change the leaderboard then, create another 250x250 box on the right? Yes, I can do that. Not sure what it would look like afterwards.
2advance, Thanks. But how come my visitors ain't clicking those ads? Are my ad placements too bold or does it have something to do with the niche?
