    I am the owner of a blog www.financialjesus.com

    I currently have about 30 000 visitors per month and am pulling an income of around 100 to 200 dollars per month.

    I'd like to get your opinions on the website - what can I make better? Do you think there are some means of monetizing the site I am not using?

    Does the site feel slow to load?

    Any other comments are also welcome!

    It already looks good. I think you have to focus more on promotion and link building.

    I really like it, the content is pretty decent and the layout is good. Although 1 thing I don't like is the all too prominent subscribe box on the right hand side. I think that it should more or less match the theme you have chosen and not be too imposing.

    Overall:

    I like it :D

    The idea behind the prominent subscribe box is to get the people to subscribe but I guess you are right - i can make it look more like a part of the site and still have people subscribe!

    Thanks for your compliments everyone, but that's not why I am here!
    Does anyone have any more ideas I can try to improve my site in addition to making the subscribe box less eye catching?

    Well, I am having problems monetizing my website...
    There doesn't seem to be any affiliate offers that convert with my traffic.
    I get about 1000 visits/day but it seems to be the kind of traffic that doesn't want to pay for things... :mad:

    If anyone has ideas about how to monetize, let me know!

    You can try PPC campagne? I recommend BidVertiser and Obeus.

    With that many visitors Roman you should definately be making more than a few hundred a month. It's time to up the ante and start building a list by offering something of value in exchange for the visitors email address - not just a subscribe. Build relationships, syndicating others content and position yourself in the new recommendation age - this is my speciality - strategic positioning. Plus you use thesis - way cool!

    You are totally right!
    As soon as I get time I'll put together an ebook that is interesting to my readers...
    Right now I just don't have the time!
