looks good. Let me suggest some things.

1) Get rid of the adds! you are not making any money off these adds based on your current traffic! This makes your site look like SPAM, and is taking away from your traffic.

2) GET RID OF THE ADDS!

no disrespect, We all would love to make money from our hard work. But It takes time. for me, when i see a site with a bunch of adds, I instantly leave because they are not trying to provide me with information, but trying to sell.

Just my option tho.

not sure what your asking,
but looked at your site, you need to change your social plug in, or w/e you are using. No images show up for this!

Google, nor your users will like this.

Its so so…

1)I check out your post: “How to Use a Electric Knife Sharpener”
For God sakes man, Its a tutorial! add some images! Even if its a simple as 1, 2, 3….people need to see to understand!

2) by looking at your site, looks like you are trying to sell something. THEN SELL IT! if you were a knife sale man that went door to door, you wouldn’t just read off the instructions what it can do, you would PROVE it can do it. So add videos/images of PROVING it! then give more info in the content.

3) ask yourself, if you were surfing the Internet for your topic, would you read this site, or would you hit the back button? Find out what readers in your nitch are looking for, and provide it!

I am just providing what I believe your site needs. Hope this helps!

here is just my option as a viewer.

1) get rid of the background! takes away from the professionalism of the site.
2) Provide some INFORMATION!! I only looked at one of yoru article, but it was very very short. if people are searching for information, they are not going to be able to find it in four sentence. What ever you are trying to prove / provide, DO SO!
3) be sure to SEO your blog.

Best of luck

Very simple.
1) provide Original Content. Content your readers are looking for, and only you have.
2) SEO your website (google this for wordpress) so that your readers are able to find your website.

Awsome.

I had a feeling this was going to be a problem. Thanks for the reply!

Mostly for the second.

Do not mean to offend you, but not crazy about the first one either, Especially the green type. Makes the site look “made by kid”. Again, dont mean to offend your hard work, just stating what i think as a viewer.

your goal should be to:
1) get viewers to your site
2) make users click for that second page view
3) make users come back.

when viewing these sites, ask your self, if you were browsing the Internet, would you stop and read this, or just keep searching?

A few things that popped out as soon as the page loaded:

1) I live in the United States. This currency does not apply to me. I have no idea how the exchange rate works. Perhaps find a plugin that determines the viewer location and adjust currency accordingly? This is targeting traffic from a certain area. You want to target the world, unless that was your plan in the first place.
(Not sure if these deals apply to the United States, just something that spotted my eye.)

2) Think you should add a row for “how many viewers took this deal”. When some one uses the deal for a new phone, it adds one. When i see user data thrown at me, It always makes me trust the site more, and think its worth my time to read.

3) you have a great idea going for yea, with a very big market. this is both good and bad!
Good: lots of potential traffic.
Bad: lots of competition.

Find a website that does exactly what you are doing. And figure out what you can do to be better than them. Do this over and over. Then you will have a successful website.

Best of luck, Hope my comment helps.

Agree with bdolin.

Your idea works, but it looks like spam. if i were a viewer, and came across this site. I would not dare trust this site with a credit card number.

Three potential problems I see with this site:

1) you are targeting Black Friday. This is a 1 time a year event. this means you are only going to get traffic once a year.

2) This site is new, even if its is SEO for search engines, the changes are that you will not be ranked very high before black Friday. thus, you are going to need to keep this site up and running for AT LEAST another year.

3) this site looks like spam. Not trying to be harsh, just stating my views. If i were searching for “black friday deals” and came across this site, I would instantly hit the back button.

Make this site look original and pretty!

Im not crazy about the color scheme. The second link colors look like the green eggs and ham after throwing it up the next day ??

I think if you address the colors, it will look more appealing to the viewer, and the chances of them reading instead of hitting the back button.

Good luck!

BINGO!

Decided I would bookmark your website, and see if my comment would change the world….well it didnt, but it sure did make a huge difference on your blog!

looks fantastic, and fits perfect with your blog! Better keep adding interesting posts, or that bookmark is gone and im never coming back ??

Amygutman,

Its simple, and there are MANY ways to add spice. Here are some I recommend:

1) get a photo editor, This is a must! theres going to come a time when you are going to need to edit a image, or create your own. I suggest a free program that is very much like photoshop. but FREE!
https://pixlr.com/

2) google free wordpress templates. There are a million of them. There are plenty out there that are just BEAUTIFUL! however, dont get too caught up in finding the one with the most graphics.

Too many graphics will slow down your website load time, and will make it difficult to add content, which your website does very well. So its important to find a nice template, but a template that is able to support lots of content.

3) some individuals, such as my self, are visual learners. For example, if i read a tutorial with no images, when i get done reading, I have no idea what I read. But If i have images of what the tutorial is talking about, i am able to understand, and enjoy the reading alot more.

Find images that support your topic. For your site, Id suggest images of your self doing what your blog topic is talking about.
EXAMPLE: “Now at this particular point in my life, I have close to zero interest in writing a novel ” -this is a post from your blog, maybe add a image of you that shows your Zero interest in writing a novel.

I hope this helps. Any more questions, please feel free to post.
Best of luck!

Yes, Thank you. I decided to add “All in One SEO Plugin Options” instead.

For home descriptions i used:
Funny images and videos of Epic Fails.

for Home Keywords I used:
funny, fail, blog, epic, images, videos

Think these are ok? or do they need changed? please give me an example that will help me please.

Thank you for the reply!

There are many plugins for WordPress that will generate these XML in perfect format. This is important! if not in the correct format, google breaks up with you. lol
