Hey guys,

Only been here a few months, mostly creeping but I want to be more active. I was hoping some of you would take some time out to review my website, and give me your comments and criticism. I'm not sensitive so feel free to be blunt.

A bit about the site: It sells dieting supplements in the Australian market; I am getting around 50 local unique visits a day. Just about all of my traffic is from Google for the keyword "appetite suppressant", so I believe most of my visitors' interest is qualified. This is my first time practicing SEO, and this is also my first website. I have almost lost all interest after many, many months of research, learning and work, and I'm so tempted to give up!

Basically I am having trouble turning over sales and would like a bit of advice on how to change this - OR even monetize the site in another way.

Is my traffic too low?
Should I look at Adsense or other PPC?
Should I target more keywords to build traffic?
Maybe my web design has totally missed the mark when it comes to selling this kind of product?

I almost feel like a blind man trying to find his way in an unfamiliar room; any guidance from knowledgeable members would be really appreciated! Thanks for reading and thanks for your time!

    I'd remove the slider on pages other than the homepage - otherwise the 'home' page and the 'products' page look identical (until you scroll down).

    Also, fix your permalink structure. Go into settings -> permalinks, and chose /%postname%/ urls. This will help with SEO.

    Finally, you're posts are incredibly boring looking - just blocks of text. Any traffic you get on those posts will probably leave. Add pictures to every post - and put offers after each post.

    Your site looks good, I don't see any major barriers to sales. Keep in mind that consumers are pretty gun shy about buying pills online. There've been lots of reports of people getting ripped off - or the pills being fake. You may want to consider trying some other niches.

    I'm siding with RichKent. I wouldn't ever buy pills online. It just seems too fishy, especially with the amount of filth the world is in. I don't see you going far in the niche, even with the best amount of time and effort drilled into it.
