Hi Guys,
My ecommerce blog website version 2.0 is released. I would like to ask the masters to review the work. The purpose of the blog is Affiliate marketing and monetizing. How is the design and page contents. Any recommendation on better affiliate websites. Also my page rank is still 0. Any recommendations?

I think it's weird that you're running a blog with sections for SEO, and yet you're asking us how to improve your page rank.

So my first suggestion is to blog on something else with which you have more expertise.

But assuming you wish to stay in your target market, let's review. First, the concept behind RUTA is not so awesome. Read, Understand, Think, Apply. That works wonderfully when I'm reading the world-renown leading expert. I'll assume that he or she knows much more than I do. I'll take everything they give me as manna from Heaven. However, the second we start talking about people who are not famous for being the best on Earth, I get skeptical. Read, Understand, Think, Apply? That sounds preachy or condescending from somebody who isn't #1. Maybe "Read, Evaluate, Test, Consider" would be more reasonable for a blog outta nowhere. So I'd suggest something else, or just not mentioning the acronym.

Second suggestion would be to hire a ghost writer. Your English skills are awful, and it's going to be super-difficult to win people over because of it. For better or worse, people determine how educated and wise you are based upon your ability to communicate. You have probably 25 typos in just the first few pages I read. A spell-check would have caught a few. A grammar-check would have helped too. For the rest, you need someone else to fix this for you.

Third thing I'd review is the "SEO" page. It actually doesn't have much to do with SEO, so it's pretty confusing. First, your SEO page is actually just a list of URLs. That's not helpful for anyone wanting to read about SEO, especially because the URLs are not clickable and often don't have anything to do with SEO even if a reader DID copy/paste the URL into their browser bar.

I think you may have confused SEO with link affiliates and reciprocal linking. This is another reason why you should maybe be blogging about something more familiar to you.

What else? Your "About Me" page has this text: "I worked for prominent E commerce website providers." I'm pretty sure someone who worked for prominent e-commerce providers would spell it e-commerce or ecommerce. However, assuming it's true, you need to prove it. Your Web site really casts doubt about your background, so you need to name names. You need links to the companies you work for, and we need to see your name and/or photo in the "principals" or "board" section of those sites. We need testimonies from actual management at those companies, and there needs to be some evidence that the testimony is true. We need these things because your Web site is causing you a credibility gap.

You have a lot of broken links, such as the "Finding a Potential Supplier" link.

Also, for someone who is talking about SEO, it's a little sad that your headlines are not SEO optimized and your breadcrumbs are haphazard.

I really think this site needs more work. Write more, hire someone online to rewrite your text, showcase your work, have a portfolio, provide more articles, clean up your SEO section, provide more walkthroughs and specific how-to guides. Good luck.

I really can't improve on the above.

Other reviewers should look at the comments of aboyd and try to be as helpful and insightful.
