A few tips for your niche sites out there...

As a warrior, I have seen quite a fair amount of niche blogs and websites. A little something that has been popping out to me is the overall design and feel of the site. Don't run and change your layout or theme just yet!

Now, what I mean by this is that even though your site only exists to sell your visitors products and get clicks on ads - DON'T MAKE IT SEEM THAT WAY! You may be saying to yourself, well I know my site is kickass and my conversions are through the roof. Hey, that might be true, but what about those with little to no conversions?

Here are some tips:

- Your website should be as neat as possible. That means no random floating things, even amount of whitespace, and text that is legible.

- Text should be evenly spaced and easy to read. Don't make your visitor squint to read your long and tight boxes of text. Loosen it up a bit. Make it look like you genuinely care about the visitors (you should anyways!!)



- Logo Logo Logo.. Please, have a logo! Boring text headers won't cut it. It will just show that you are not dedicated. You don't even have to dish out a lot of cash. Do it yourself or turn to fiverr.

- Make sure that your content nicely fits your layout or theme. It should fit like a glove, if not outsource and have someone fix it. Personally, I don't trust sites with a poor design, or that look like the spent all of five minutes working on it.

- Don't use weird or wacky colors, stick to a color scheme!

- If you have any worries, have a good friend or fellow IM'er give you suggestions.

These tips will hopefully make your site more appealing, which will instill trust, which will increase conversions
