Need your help guys....again.
I want to share with you my problem. I deal with Affiliate Marketing over 3 years, but I can not seem to crack it. I'm doing something wrong and I do not know what it is. Currently I have 5 websites built on good keywords., But no one is rated in Google. one of them was on the first page but disappeared. I'm very frustrated and do not know what to do next. I would love if someone would examine them and give me his opinion. Where am I wrong and what I need to do next,because it's driving me crazy. I do SEO and connected to the WSS on G+ and makes good content on the site but still no progress. I hope someone can help me and point me to the right track.
Thanks and have a great week.
Gil
p.s-You can find my sites on my profile page.

I would think about testing different Header Pic's cherry blossoms don't say anything to me, it just confuses me! They certainly don't scream you'll find the perfect gift here!, That 's just my opinon.
For the moment, i will focus in on one site... BirthdayGiftsHusband... 1) it is not about finding "a right gift for the right person"... It's about a gift for one's husband(your name says it all...birthdayGiftsHusband)... the most important person in "her" life! Give her what she googled! and google will be happy. (also use "BirthdayGiftsHusband(s) as a key phrase too) 2) Write your content to the woman who is searching for something special and unique for her husband... (the best SEO in the world will not work if people don't find what they are looking for based on search... they are searching for gifts, not how to choose one.....) 3) I would replace the still photo in your header with a slide show of great lifestyle shots of men celebrating birthdays... very warm photos that evoke emotion (women connect with that)... like candelight Dinner, Family celebration, celebrating with friends, surprise party, sleeping in recliner, etc... pictures of the emotion she expects to see. There are so many possibilities... Bring ti to life! :) 4) Where your video is, I would put photos that represent categories of merchandise by lifestyle... camping, hunting, fix it guy, jogging, couch potato, yard work, youth coach, sports fan, gamer etc.... all the things he might be in here eyes. Sell things he may actually use or enjoy... outdoor clothing, tools, novelty items (humorous), watches, wallets, books, outdoor grills, camping equip. etc... I would get affiliate links for these products and sell sell sell and get commission. There is more but this is a good start... While your website is attractive, it has missed it's purpose. You have only 3-5 seconds to convince visitors to your site to stay and do business with you. Google knows whether they stay or not... thus the rankings... As Kyle and Jay constantly remind us to write content for the visitor.. and google will take care of itself... Be what your key phrases say you are. it is a double edge sword. I hope that helps. I think people are expecting to see gifts when they arrive at your site. In you header you say you are "the Best Birthday gifts online"... Be that, be the best... :)
Focus more time on content and traffic on a single website. If that proves to be highly successful, duplicate that for the other websites. Maybe do a Google search on how to rank on the first page of Google. Things have changed since the Panda and Penguin updates, maybe make some new changes?
I have not looked at your sites yet, because, like Kyle, I think your problem may lie in the 5 sites area. I too am guilty of doing this, so I parked everything but a local site and my main niche I want to make work. It has made a difference.
Some very good advice given by the other people commenting here. Try focusing on one site, get that successful and then duplicate what you have done. Best wishes!
You just revealed your problem. You have 5 websites.
The only thing worse that focusing on one unsuccessful website is focusing on 5 of them. You only need ONE website to be very successful online and I think your lack of success is the result of a lack of focus.
Before you create a second site, you should understand how to make your first successful. This way you can reproduce your success.
So, my first suggestion to you is to focus on ONE of your websites. You may even want to consider starting fresh using the techniques you learn here because chances are good you may have some habits from the past and may have been misinformed on techniques that may actually negatively be affecting your campaigns.
You have help here through your journey, but I would first and foremost suggest that you start focusing on just one site.
Guy, Kyles advice above is one that I would have wished I learned sooner. My IM didn't take off until I started narrowing my focus down to one site. I spent way to much time my first year building 14 sites or something like that and testing them against Google. If I could go back with what I know now, I would focus on one site only until it was organically successful.

Some good info, especially from Kyle and mama2karsten. Use it to focus and let us know as things progress for the better. Also, thanks for sharing with us as it is a learning experience for me and I think most of us.
