Hi everyone.

Just want to get some opinions of my site.

***.***.com

Recently my daily traffic went from about 250 visit per day to about 75 a day. Of course this made a dent in sales.

It is odd, the day I had 10 more pages listed with Google my traffic drops 3 fold.

Be honest my site depends on it.

On your home page, you have two forms. Which one do you want me to use? I know they are for different things. But when I see multiple forms, my brain goes "HUH?" and decides not to do either.

You don't have an About Me page. You might want to put one up.

Other than that, I am not sure. Your site is a "hard sell" approach. No real information content. Mostly ways to buy different things. That isn't something I am very familiar with.

Put your "Perform a quick Search" form and the adsense ads to the bottom.You have to deceide waht you want, either send teh visitor away (adsense) or selling via your affiliate links.

Work on the size of your title graphic. It is too big. Use one of the jpeg compression tools to make it smaller. I am on ISDN (64 kbit) and load time wasn't a nice experience. The same applies to the graphics on the otheer pages you have. Don't know if they are hosted on your site or the merchants, butr if you have any influence, compress the pictures and make yiour site load faster.

I am not sure how to approach this niche without a hard sell at some point.

As a wood worker I wasn't interested in a site that only offered 1 or 2 different plans or tools. Just because someone says this chair plan is the greatest if I don't want that design I won't buy it.

I wanted a large selection that I could look through. I knew what I wanted to build (bed, chair) I just didn't know what design.

I fear if I provide a editorial blurb about a particular product and a link to that product the chances that that product is exactly what they want is very slim. Even if they want to build a chair, if the one I feature in my editorial write up isn't the right shape and size.. Click gone.

I am in the process of writing some pages that are instructional processes. For example, HOw to build a dust collection system. Or sharpening chisels.

I have been in a rush to get pages up and submitted to SE since I have expereinced a 2 - 2.5 month lag for the SE to list my pages.
