I like that you post about different topics. I think it'll help you appeal to a variety of different people, which is always good! I especially like your Father's Day post!

you do have some pretty interesting things on there .. but I would improve the layout of your site. If you want to make money you first have to start getting people on your site. Afterwards you can put ads on the blog. Or you could at least cut it down a little bit but thats just my personal opinion.
Another thing, it is very important to focus on 1-3 topics so people don't get confused what your blog is actually about.
Anyway nice work

Speaking on aesthetics alone--
I think the text in your header should be larger. Call a little more attention to the content.

I also think the posting text and content should be larger. The google ads dwarf the content, and is the first thing I see.

I see you are reviewing PTC sites...for future interaction, perhaps you could have a side-bar with each of the PTC sites, and some sort of indicator that would let you know which is paying and which is not. Sort of like a easier to find listing of each site---and a green light or red light indicating good or bad. Something like that.

Just my .02....no disrespect intended.

It's very hard to read. I do have vision problems but the text is very small. I'd love to see a nice header at the top too. And sorry but I really don't like Google Ads right at the top. Doesn't make me want to scroll down any more.

One more thing, add some images or photos to your posts. Just a suggestion!

Great blog though.

Connie

I agree it is very hard to read the text since it is very small. Make it bigger. Maybe put the searchbar in the navigation part you dont need it in the middle of the page.

The overall concept is great - but if your goal is to monetize, what is going to keep readers coming back? There is no common thread.
Outside of the text being too tight, the layout is smooth.
