    It would probably be better to advertise, even adwords if I can try it, to this blog, instead of directly to the product sales page?? Is a blog more difficult to adwords than a site that is already optimized, maybe I should social bookmark and directory submit this blog?

    thanks

    Not bad. Maybe you can add more stuff to improve the interaction on your blog.. like Recent Comments, Top Commentators etc.. all those are Wordpress plugin. Give Wordpress a try!

    Your blog is new.. maybe you should work on the content first before putting in your ads. It will surely turn off your visitors :D

    you think it's too much like a blatant sales page?

    I'll add more. Thanks for the feedback.

    It´s nice, but like said before the name is too long.
    Should´t have that green border around too, ist a bit aggressive

    Just fine. But your posts will be better if you support them with photos. Good luck! You had good start.

    killer URL! i tried reading it before i clicked it to see what the site was about and i got no where! lol. Maybe try cut it down to initals or something i dont know, ive never heard of the thing your blogging about so cant be much help.

    I dont know if you've cut down your ads now but i only see 3, two on the left and one at the bottom, looks fine to me.

    I would however advise you to push the boat out on a $7-9 domain and some dirt cheap hosting to throw a wordpress up there

    Good luck with it :)

    Really? You think a blog doesn't sell as well as a domain name?


    thanks.:cool:
    You guys are all so nice for commenting, thanks, I just put this on this morning.

    Should I put more ads in?

    I agree that it's too much of a blatant sales page.

    I think it would help if you'd put up articles relating to weight loss in general. Like tips for people who are dieting other than the product you're talking about. Make it seem less like "the magic pill" and more like just one ingredient in the whole weight loss puzzle. Does that make sense?

    It's just that people definitely do not like to be "sold" and if you mention the same product post after post it seems more like a commercial than a resource. As an affiliate you're supposed to pre-sell a product, not create a whole other sales page for the company so I'd definitely tone it down a bit.

    Good luck to you. You'll figure it out. You're already doing the right thing by asking for feedback. It's hard to hear criticism from people you've never met even if it's constructive. Keep at it.

    I like the overall layout but agree with the comment re: use some photos to break up all that text. Large amounts of text are kind of a turn-off to readers. Have smaller paragraphs and pictures. Several pictures, smiles.

    not criticism at all thanks for the feedback, it was all the sales stuff I knew but didn't apply because it was just a blog.
