Hey Warriors,

I've been busy a little lately, but lucky I have been working on my new website I bought ( In my sig ). Im not here to attract you to my site. All I want is to know your suggestions and advice on what I can do better. I am as you can see promoting TVs that are on Amazon. I was going start on my first review today. What do you think?

    Not really much to look at right now. The skeleton of your site is fine, but it all depends on what you do to it from here. I would suggest getting some more content up so when we look at it we can get more of an idea of how you are structuring it.

      In right hand side theres a section called categories, what I'm going to do is make each brand its own webpage and on that webpage ill make a posts on that each different TV that brand has with a complete honest review. What I'm really gonna do is rank pages in google ( pages are reviews with its own product on it with its own keywords ).

      I'd say the content needs to be broken up into smaller paras.

      It looks pretty basic. I'm not sure this is a site I'd trust when I want to spend hundreds of dollars on a new TV.

      I think it's a good first shot and I know you will do well in the future, just by looking at your effort.

        To tell you the truth I'm with ya about spending hundreds of dollars on a TV, but I guess I didn't look into other niches. Yeah its okay, but I'm just not sure at the moment because the TVs I'm targeting are a lot!

      You could, but until a site gets traffic and is making money you won't get much, if anything, for it.

      If you are just starting out, I would suggest building a site in a niche you are really interested in. If you love T.V.'s and talking about all the technical details and comparing T.V.'s, then great, but if not I think it might make this site hard to develop, if you are just beginning in IM.

      That's just my opinion though, others will disagree and say who cares about the niche, just go make money. I personally think it's really hard to start that way.

        Well I am starting out right now and I think I wont get any sales because the products cost a lot!

    What kind of niche do you want to get into anyway?

    Are you looking to build an authority site or an Amazon niche site?

    I think you have a good start of a website. You obviously need more reviews on it. Amazon has some great tools that you can use to put on your site to help the overall appearance of your site as well as credibility. People trust Amazon. Just go the the Amazon associate page and click on their tools and see if anything strikes your fancy. I have used them on some of my sites. I think you are off to a good start. The important thing is you are taking ACTION!!

      You think so? I will check it out, I just need to get some reviews going soon . But I will be ranking webpages not my website. Widgets you mean right?

    Break up the huge content piece into easily readable paragraphs. I dont see any amazon ads on there. Add more categories other than Samsung TV's. Overall the site seems incomplete.

      I'm a writer, so that is the first thing I looked at - the words. And I stopped reading after the first three sentences when I came to this:

      Look at your TV! Are you satisfied with the TV that you have now? Are you tired of having a horrible piece of junk TV that don’t even work half the time in your living room?

      Your TV does not work, not Your TV do not work.

      As I said, that was enough for me to not read anything else on the page. Further, although I did not read any more, TV & T.V. were jumping out all over the page - in a bad way. My eyes were being assaulted. Television is okay to use too.

      Not being a jerk, just my honest, blunt opinion. You need better content, and it took all of three sentences for me to determine that, and stop the keyword stuffing. Google don't, I mean doesn't, like it and neither do most humans, which is what your target audience is - people.
