    I just visited your site and did not find anything that would pull the visitors again and again. The information if at all, is very general and would not satisfy people coming to you in search of 'job lots'.

    I would advise you to put some real useful material on your site like 'coupons, offers' etc.... sourcing them from various companies and make the visit of your visitors worthwhile!

    Google keyword tool was not meant for Seo. It was meant for Adwords.

    I think you might want to use attractive ad-like contents as your description tags and title tags. This would be helpful in increasing CTR for your sites. :)

    Thanks,

    I think it is the landing page that does not welcome anyone, as the second poster suggested. I recommend redesigning it and making it more readable and pretty

    From the viewpoint of a visitor seeking information, its a pretty lame page. From a content want. The photo is nice. Hard to read text with what looks like light grey on grey. Even worse for the contact with dark on dark. Only the ad text is bright. So the page comes across a little bit as a selfish web page. Like "hey click on these ads that are the easiest stuff to read".

    I have a feeling you are going to get banned from Adsense sooner or later. There are more ads on the site than the content.
