About scootermclisle
Call me scooter. No, it isn't my real name, but I like the idea of having a secret name. Most of the people who have professional advice columns don't use their real names, so I don't see why I should either. I want to give the best advice possible, and I figure that the first way of becoming professional is to act professional. That isn't to say that I plan on growing up to be an advice columnist. Actually, I want to be a psychologist. But, this is as close as I'm going to get to that right about now. I'm also a very good writer, so I figure writing an advice column is a good way of getting my ideas out there. Please feel free to ask me any questions you like.

I have been studying for many years on the subject of the effects of diet and health. About 1 year ago I decided to do a website to help any one who had a need or desire to be healthier. I have found tons of facts that absolutely prove a poor diet will make you sick in some way. The problem is to this day my site is rarely visited, I have found great cook books that deal with healthy living and great organic products. Why is it that no one is interested in this info. I can tell my home page is clicked but not many stay long enough to actually find out what my site is about. Don't sick and anemic people actually want help? www.healthfix4life.com
Of course they actually want help, but the first impression your site gives off is that you are trying to use these health issues to market products.
When I was depressed, I often looked for websites that might give me ideas on coping with it. If I saw one with multiple headlines and links to other websites that allowed me to purchase something (the way yours does), I immediately switched websites. It always seemed to me that if I was going to be paying for something, it would be a real therapist (as opposed to some online self-help tapes, etc.)
So, that may be your answer. People who come to your site are most likely looking for information, not an online cure. While useful information is in abundance, it is set up to look like a "For Sale" sign.

Well, I do use these issues to offer products. The products I recommend I have throughly researched. Most are just recipes and organic products that I can't make or even know how to. The majority of the site just deals with food related health issues. The one for healthy meat talks about dangerous meat additives. Healthy cleaning warns about the accumulative affect of chemicals used indoors. Pregnant women and babies are at risk when using any sort of harmful chemicals applied to the skin. How would I get this information across and not offer a solution?
