I'm going to loose it in a few...

I'm getting to the end of my rope here... I can't figure it out...

Google, continues to deny me permission to run my guitar training campaign, claiming that there's no value in it, and that the customer would be better off going directly to the parent companies site. And that I'm just a bridge page. When I point out that, my site has all original content, a feedback section in the blog, and honest reviews. They just keep coming back saying... no value in your page, they should just visit the parent site.

My question, is which site? I'm reviewing over a dozen different training programs, different levels of training, and even different styles, yet, there's no value?
So, what do I do? I do a search on google for some of my competition, and find some very, very nice looking sites, but a lot of them, technically, are almost identical to mine, and some, don't even cloak or hide their clickbank links! I scroll over the link, and right in the bottom corner... clickbank.

So, is it possible that it just comes down to design? Layout? color scheme? That if they don't like the look of your site, then your out of luck?

Has anyone else experienced this before? I know that at this point, I should just move on, let the review page to to the seo gods, and try something new. But my problem is, how long until they decide that the new campaign is 'just a bridge' site and I get slammed down with that one also.

Is there a template that works? Is there something that I'm missing when it comes to designing of a site?

I mean, I've changed my site 4 or 5 times based on the suggestions of the Google support team, and each time I request it to be reviewed, they say the same thing... no value.

So, does anyone have any advice on possibly why they'd be hating my site so much? I'm not an idiot, but the site's I've looked at, that I am competing with, are not much different than mine.

So, if you out there, were going to do a guitar review site, what would you include that I am not? I'm about 2 steps away from moving the entire thing over to a WordPress blog and see if that makes any difference, I've tried just about everything else.

Thanks for letting me rant... feedback... please...
Thanks!

    change your front page to a good landing page, all I see is that you have a bunch of redirects on the main page. I would put nothing but relevant content there and then link to another page within the site that has your reviews and links

      How so, you mean to put stuff on the index page saying that I've done the testing, (because I have), I've put in the hours, (because I have), and I'm just trying to help the visitor chose the best product for them? More of a welcome page?

      The reason that this doesn't quite make sense to me, is that, well, they're not really going to be seeing it anyway, I'm going to be using one of the targeted pages as the landing page for any ad.
