Appreciate any feedback On My Site Please

Yes, it is somewhat bland. I notice this template is made with Artisteer. It should be easy to change the color scheme so that it has more pop.

I think that as far as content goes, you've got good, valuable information. You've covered the bases with articles, tips, YouTube videos, pictures, and diagrams, so there's no problem there, but I think you could get even more creative with how you arrange the content on the page.

Right now, the page looks a little "bloggy" ("bloggish?"), which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but perhaps a little more color and a striking header with some good graphics could make the page "pop" a little more.

I also agree about adding an opt-in form to your page; even if you don't plan on doing a lot of email marketing, it's a great idea to build your list anyways, just to drop them a line once in a while with a good deal or offer related to your bodybuilding niche. Someone mentioned that you could do more with ad placement as well, and since you have a fair amount of blank space in the right hand column, it could be a good way to add a few more visuals while monetizing your site further.

One last thing: have you considered doing specific product reviews? You come across as being knowledgeable about this topic, and your readers might appreciate knowing what brands and products of dumbbells you'd recommend. (You could also do reviews on Weightlifting books, DVDs, athletic apparel, etc.) I see you've already linked to some Amazon products in the text, but you could also do actual product reviews and add a few photos to spark more interest and create a "call to action" for your readers to go check them out.

There are a couple of things you might consider doing to change your site around a bit. None of them are deal breakers, and actually your site looks really nice. The page that you go to for the free report from the link in the sidebar is a little old school and it would be OK except that the rest of your site now looks so good and so different that it might be a bit jarring to people when they land there.

You've got some your settings in AllinOne set to the default. In particular the title tag for your pages. This is one where you can really make a great title that will stick out in the search engines because a lot of times this is what will show up in the search results.

Right now, you have it set to show the blog title after the pipe symbol. And everybody already knows where they are, you don't need to remind them.

It is not a terrible choice, especially because you have a keyword rich domain name, but if you did something like this:

Dumbbell Squat, Weight Sets and Simple Exercises, Workouts

(I am not advocating those particular keyword phrases, just using an example)

You could get a lot of related keywords into your title. You get about 60 characters for your title to display in most search engines, sometimes 62 or even 65. Having related keywords in your title also gives you the opportunity to use varied keyword phrases in your backlinking. You don't always have to stick with the phrases in your titles to link, but when you can give yourself a little extra boost, why not? :-)

You have some phrases in bold, that is a good thing. Your pages are long enough that you can logically break them up into sections and you can use your H2 tags to make keyword rich titles for your sections.

Like down around the part of your dumbbell squat page where you talk about the poor cousin to the barbell king, you could put in a title in H2 tags like:

Workouts With Dumbbells - A Great Alternative

And get another keyword phrase into your section title without looking like you are keyword stuffing the page.

Someone said your page looks a little bloggy, I am not sure what they meant, but for me it looks a little bloggy because your sidebar is on te right. If you move it to the left, and bring the action you want people to take to the top of the sidebar, either ditch the search box or put it down by the blogroll and put your link to you subscribe page up by the top, you might get more people paying attention to it. Not a lock on that, of course, but definitely an idea worth trying.

The other thing you might try is putting your links to your other blog posts down below the fold at the bottom of the posts, that is a logical place for those links to be and people will expect them to be there, and moving them will make them less important than the action you want your visitors to take.

Overall your site looks really nice, and that's not just because I prefer dumbbells over barbells either. :-)
