I own this site.... www.lumana.com and I am serious about trying to improve it... I have been using wordpress but its soooo boring, I love to acutally MAKE the site... if you look at my archives, by scrolling down to the bottom of the page, you'll see the pages I created.

The site is barely dead these days... but still makes some money from adsense...

I would love a review of what kind of potential this site has... The website was created in 2004...

Please, I would love to get some new ideas on how to revamp my site, new products I can offer, just anything to actually make it work...

OR

Should I just move on and stop beating this dead horse, its dead... so get a new project, etc...

Thanks in advance.

    If you looking for something simple to do, I would reverse the colors, the orange and whites. Make a trendy logo, aimed at teens. I don't see any problem with the content, but it's not really something I'm interested in to be honest.

    The traffic issues you may have could be due to SEO

    Add a sitemap
    Add a Privacy Policy (I think you must have this for adsense TOS)
    Add an About page

    Add a footer and link all 3 of the above, Google likes this

    It may seem unnecessary, but I didn't expect your lists of articles near the bottom to be links to posts. The links are all black, I nearly kept scrolling. If those links were red, sorted by popular and new posts - more people would stop to view your content IMO.

    (EDIT: Archive the less popular or old posts to keep the above mentioned lists smaller, people will find the old ones in the SERPs and website search)

    Use H1 or H2 for your post titles - Hard to tell where the articles begin and end during a quick browse. The titles are supposed to grab attention.

    Gotta think with the short attention span most of us have online.

    I would have your sidebar colored, too much white space. I'd go with the orange in the scheme. This will further funnel attention to your content in the middle of the page.

    Get high quality backlinks from relevant sites, use keyword anchored links that point to an article on your site that uses the same keywords.

    You can also replace your old search bar with a Google search bar. It will further monetize the site, and you can influence the search results to something like... CPA redirects?

    There's my 2 cents, I don't claim to be an SEO master - but those steps would be where I would start.
