Hi Everyone.

I have just got into affiliate marketing, and before I place Adsense Ads and, products on my site I would like some feedback on my website content alone. Please check out my website which is in my signature, I am very open to constructive criticism

Thanks,

    Hi there

    website actually wastes a lot of space. The whole right hand side of my screen is blank and the website fills only the left half. Content looks fine.

    regards
    Colin

    Wow. Love the site eye catching right from the start. You were able to obtain the calm spa feel, the color scheme, and the light elegance of it all made me want to stay and read more. Girl you nailed it.

    However I would loose the, " Once upon a time, in a land not so far away there lived a girl with all sorts or ugly skin problems," because for me it diminishes the other highly exceptional work and makes me think twice about the product. Consider instead stating real facts, problems and/or concerns poor skin gives people for example: less confidence and low self-esteem.

    Good Work.

    Not personally crazy about the home page copy - it's a little strange for my blood to go from a dream girl in a land far, far away to a magical skin care person and move forward. Made me want to hit that dreaded X in the corner.

    If it works for your target market though, that's cool.

    Site does seem a bit narrow - will probably look crowded with adsense blocks in it. Agree with the other posters, centering it will probably help and possibly widening it a bit.

    All success,

    Gary

    Hi Angel,
    How about an "about me" page. People buy from those they like and trust, it would also be a good way to casually mention your SBI experiences and maybe generate some 5 pillar affiliate income. Also you could add a lead capture form with a free e-book or something to entice visitors to enter their e-mail - the money is in the list.
    Hope this is of some value.
    Take care
    Martin

    *Bangs his head against a brick wall*

    How am I supposed to berate you for your colouring scheme if the green hue you have used is PERFECT??!

    Can I adopt you?

    I do tend to bang on constantly about use of colour in websites, but only because it is very important...the colour a webmaster chooses sets the whole tone, from soothing green for healing, strong blue for trust and tradition, to red for passion and vitality...the list goes on and on

    I think all you need to do now is get your other links sorted out and get them actually linked to something

    I love the colour and the content but yes, the page should be centred. Also, just a small thing, but isn't "premature" one word? Cheers.

      Very eye catching but I was constantly wondering what's going on with the right side?

      Are you placing ads there? There's alot of space that could be better used as it seems very heavy to the left.

      But aside from that, beautiful colors & layout. Very easy to navigate and good info! Top notch.

      - Cheers

    The site looks 'dated' and the left column (stripes) remind me of old wallpaper...there are a zillion free templates floating around the web that will look 10 times better than what you have up now. Maybe try WordPress, there are lots of great free themes.

    Big fan of the color. Some more well selected pics left justified at the start of some of the posts that don't have them would be good, according to my better half she much prefers skin care/beauty sites that have them (massive sample size of one, I know, but she's usually right...and yes I have to say that).

    The use of colour is the best I have ever seen from a new poster, it is perfect for what is being presented and is not overwhelming at all.

    copyright and "power by" too prominent.. not many care much that area.. also when the menu is click.. it disappears.. you may want to change color to have some contrast.

    The blue stripe theme isn't resonating with me. Try using more solid standard colors. Check out the major sites and see the colors they use for reference.

      My first impression was of a 1960's hat advert when I saw the theme. Definitely reminds me of old magazine advertising - would have thought a modern site with a picture of a female with skin-to-die-for would have been more of a traffic puller. Also there is too much blank space at the sides. Some of the articles are rather short, so don't really get the visitor hooked. Presume you will fix the broken link and missing pictures?

    I think it's a very basic, kind of outdated looking template that you would expect from a site builder type site. You'd get a lot more mileage from a Wordpress blog.

    from my eyes, its already good enough

    Focus on sending traffic to it. Then see how it converts and tweak the look from there.

    sorry, but I didn't like it, it is boring. 1 out of 10.
    By the way, make modifications to your link at the bottom: FREE! Healthy Skin Guide Start by learning your skin type and began your journey to Clear Skin.
    It is com/skintype.html/, / at the end should be removed.
