    1) Get rid of the colour changing title, it makes my eyes hurt ;)
    2) Get someone to proof read your content
    3) Add some (relevant) images to liven it up
    4) Make it wider, your top advert's wider than the content...

    I think that your site could really do with a distinct logo. You should also probably add a contact form to your Contact Page instead of just an email address.

    I mean that your header image with the text "The Reliable Info" is somewhat plain and forgettable - you should spruce it up a bit if you want visitors to your site to remember it.

    I also think that having an email form encourages visitors to send you comments/feedback, as it means that can just type in what they have to say and hit submit, without having to go to their inbox to send the email.

    I also thing that the color of your Adsense ads embedded in the text is too faint - my eyes run right over them. I'd be suprised if you didn't see a slight increase in your CTR by darkening them a little.

    Investing?????????

    The first look is very displeasing and kidish...

    The content may be good but well, the first look matters.

    Suggestions :

    Loose the pink, get a bannger image ad instead of text links and yet get a distinct logo as said GLD..

    A logo that people can distinct you from like a million other investing info sites..

    Like when i thing of the mac.... i see an apple first

    Change the color. I wouldn't take anything serious from a lavender investing site.

    - Change the color
    - get rid of the highlighted banner ("the reliable info" one.)
    - Build a layout, there is to much white in your page
    - Change your nav...

    Basically the site is just has to little umph...
