I love building sites and have been trying to monetise something for a long while. Am hoping to get a small amount of success which would spur me on. Am failing.
My latest plan is http://www.acekit.co.uk
The traffic is just not there despite trying webmaster tools / page speed optimisations / social media etc. I even threw some AdWords money at it - please don't tell Mrs Acekit - boy you can burn money quick on that if you turn on the tap.
Obviously the idea is to make money via the Amazon click through scheme. Maybe it's too overt abd users don't like that or google are penalising. Idea to use Amazon was that it was frictionless and easier to build (no user authentication etc required).
Just don't know.
They say fail quick, maybe I should pull plug and think again?
Maybe I spread myself too thin with some product reviews. The most extensive and "from the heart" one is the raspberry here..

Any tips / reviews / comments appreciated, fully prepared for some tough love. Would dearly love to get something built with some sort of following that I can develop.
