    I am no web-design expert or wordpress one either. But looking at your site it has very little graphics and way way way too many adverts sending people to AdChoices. Plus the site has these MASSIVE amazon buttons.

    Take a look at this page on this site http://bigbargainbikes.co.uk/2012/07...d-bike-orange/ you know it's an amazon site but it still has content for you to read before you decide if you want to go to amazon, so in my mind you have done a good job at encouraging the customer to move forward with a potential purchase and not have all these adverts sending them to other sites.

    For me (and remember I am new to all this myself) there is not enough of trying to keep the customer on your site. Here is another one of my sites so you can see I am more interested in my amazon commission that any other type Big Bargain Cameras: Quality Cameras at Bargain Prices

    If you need your site to look like any of the ones I have shown you then please let me know and I will see how I can help you (Although I can't do it for free) time is valuable.

        1) WordPress branding need to be removed from footer

        2) Design is not responsive.

        3) Logo need to be redesigned.

        4) Amazon Button need to be highlighted

        5) Right sidebar can be used effectively

        6) Font has to be more readable.

        7) Integrate Facebook and Twitter in your website.

        8) Install All-In-One SEO plugin

        Explore your analytic account and try to find out from where you are losing your visitors. It could be any page or 404 error page.

    Here are my suggestions:

    - Remove the adsense ads on the right side and consider placing some relevant content to your niche there. Something that the user will find of value and something that they may already be searching for within your niche.

    - Consider changing your color scheme to more closely match the amazon.com site. This will help you site to be seen as a more credible extension of the Amazon.com marketplace.

    - Consider hiring a designer to create a site logo to give the site a more professional appearance.

    - MOST IMPORTANTLY - think about what you need to do in order to justify the site's existence and value in the niche. You need to do more than just aggregate product links. Users need to have a strong reason to visit your site and click through to your affiliate links.

    The best way I've found to deliver on this approach is to offer hands on reviews of the products I'm promoting. To do this, I have to actually purchase the product and use it. This allows me to offer first hand experiences, along with pictures that justify my value to the niche.

        You are having a joke right? I have just been to your site and sorry while I am no professional I can put together better sites. Your testimonials look more false than Katie Price's breasts were at one time.

        I do not advertise myself as a professional on here hence why my comment to you , even the name of your business sounds like somebody you would want to stay away from. I don't mean to insult but have you see some of the work some of the real professionals on here have done and can do. They make what I have done (as in sites I have created) and your so called business pale in comparison.

        Money is tight at present and there are way too many people calling themselves professional's when they can't seem to back it up, and sorry from what I just seen (that is on your website that you are using to promote yourself) you can't back it up.

      Have I got this wrong you are suggesting that somebody buys a lot of the products they are promoting on their site in order to give the product a great review. The money they would spend buying the products would take a long time to recoup, considering how low the amazon commission is. While I am not a professional I seriously think this part of your advice does have a flaw, considering how hard people are getting it financially.

        Hi Bojangles, I can see your point, but I don't purchase a product just to do a review on it. I purchase it because I need it and then in the course of using it, I have a great platform for a hands on review if I decide that its something I want to share with others.

        Unfortunately, I'm a serial Amazon.com shopper, so I could review products I've purchased in the past and probably never run out of stuff to write about. Especially if you consider that reviews can be separated into first impression reviews and follow-up, long term usage reviews.

        I'm not saying this could work for everyone, but it works well for me...
