Please Review my site

Hi, I just started a site about 2 weeks ago. I am new to the affiliate world and webdesign. My website is www.sharkbait72.com any info will help.
Thanks alot.

Maybe it's just me but the header seems awfully large.

I do agree with Jeremy, the header is a bit big. I think you have a nice design but you need a lot more content and not so many ads, maybe. I noticed in your poker sites section that you have signed up as an affiliate to every poker room under the sun. When I first started out, that's what I did, too. Believe me, that is the wrong approach.

I would suggest promoting one room at a time, then bump it up to two, then three, etc. If you start off with every poker room, you will not give any of them enough attention to really drive traffic to them.

Thanks for the replys. So If I only sign up as an affiliate to 1 or 2 poker rooms what should I put under poker sites? Just the 1-2 I am signed up with?

You don't have to lose the "poker sites" section but maybe add some things instead.

How about a review of each poker site? I know it's been done to death but it's a start. Give your honest opinion, what you like, what you don't like, etc. Go into as much detail as can.

I'm also new to this but I can tell you that most of the hits I get from search engines are to my room reviews. Find an angle (niche, whatever) and go with it. Ask yourself, why would they want to click on any link on your site and go from there.

Remember, I also did the same thing as you. Then, I found this forum and learned a lot from these guys. You are here, so you are on the right track.

Hey thanks again, I made the logo smaller and I plan on just stickin to about 3 poker rooms to promote. Can anyone have any recomend any?
I plan on doing online and offline promoting. I got into affiliate marketing because I want to travel around the world with my gf and affiliate marketing allows me to be able to as long as there is an internet connection. My plan is to promote my website and forums online right now untill I move to a bigger city (in about 2-3 months) then start doing offline marketing.

I want to travel around south america around october, so about 8 months from now, depending on if I am making any money or not. I would work on my website via laptop and update it when I hit internet cafes, couple times a week hopefully. Also while travelling around down there I would be dropping off flyers, cards, posting stickers everywhere I go to promote my poker rooms and website. I am not too sure what poker is like down in south america, does anyone think this could be a good idea?

Thank you for any help, sorry for the long post.
