Could someone please review my site for me. It has been up for awhile now but not getting a lot of traffic. I am offering some free e-books and some aff sites here. Is there any way that I can improve on my site to make it look better and encourage visitors to get the products.
Any feedback will be helpfull.
Thanks .

If you want traffic, you have to learn how search engines work and optimize your pages to please the search engines.

The most important element of all is the title. Yours says: "THE INFO BAY".

Your first step in optimizing your page should be to replace those words with an eye-catching heading which includes words that people type into search engines. For example: "Free ebooks".

However, "free ebooks" would be a hugely competitive phrase to aim for - probably not a choice for someone who is just learning this stuff.

To decide which words to use, you have to do some keyword research, trying to find some phrases that have high demand and low supply. A good place to start is Wordtracker.

Try searching in Google for "search engine optimization" for helpful articles or search on this forum for posts by Sean Burns. He's a frequent contributor and the author of a good book on search engine optimization.

If all this sounds too complicated, consider buying Site Build It!, which takes you through the process of creating a profitable site. You can read successful case studies on my site.

Thanks Allen. I have the good keywords program from softnics. Is it as good as Wordtracker? As you say I am just learning this stuff but I will keep trying till I get something right. Is there any other advice that you can give me about my site? All feedback (good or bad ) will be appreciated.
Thanks again.
Charles Kenney.

Hi Charles,

I would suggest you take out the Warrior, Host4Profit banners
on your header.

Instead, make your header attractive.

Then put a compelling headline underneath, instead of
of Welcome to the InfoBay.
Something that will make your visitors stop and glued to whatever
you're about to offer.

Hope that helps.

Anthony Fesalbon

For the keywords I tried it with, it wasn't nearly as useful as Wordtracker.
