    Here is my own view -
    * The color scheme and header is good for general sites, but for affiliate marketing blog you would want people to give a vibe that shows you are serious about it. So, a more professional look would be better. For reference check this blog, mattsmarketingblog.com

    * Put social links at bottom of each post (home page), and use whatever fits in 1 line. It is not looking good at all in 2 lines.

    * Maybe use category list on the sidebar

    * Remove unnecessary info from footer, and follow the footer like the blog I gave above. (more professional)

    * You can create and offer a valuable course for free like in the blog above, that should help increase conversion.

    Well, thats my honest opinion. And to clarify, I am not related to the site I posted for reference. Hope this helps.

    The site is pretty slow. Ghostery, a "stalker stalker" plugin, reports 20+ external services on the post pages which might be the reason. You could try Google's PageSpeed Insights tool or Pingdom's Website Speed Test to see if there's something that's especially slow.

    It's also possible to combine CSS and JS to make fewer queries to the server. It usually involves a fair bit of trial and error. If you're interested, see W3 Total Cache.

    I've got no "brutal feedback" on your blog. There's small stuff line getting sidebar boxes to line with each other, removing the weird empty boxes at the end of the articles, making header images sharp... But that's just minor stuff you can adjust over time.

    Good job!

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      Hello mate,

      Here it goes,

      1) Your banner is too crowded and flashy. I'd use something simpler with less colors.

      2) Instead of yellow, use dark background therefore people will read more easily. This should decrease your bounce rate.

      3) Put a text widget to your menu explaining what your site is about and how you can help people and who you are.

      4) Your CTA in your opt-in form competes with the yellow of your site. Make them contrasting to increase your conversion rate.

      Feel free to ask more and contact me,

      Cheers,

      Enes

    I like how your posts revolve around a video (enhanced by text) rather than a page or two of boring text which no one is going to take the time to read anyway.

    After the initial load those sharing buttons underneath the post title are spreading around making spaces between them also jumps into two rows. In other words don't look tight and clean as they should be. The issue is there in both chrome and firefox browsers running on Win 7 PC. Other than that it's looking all right.
