1. The site isn't very user friendly.
2. What's your average dwell time? If people are visiting then bouncing after 1 minute that sends a bad signal to Google. Average dwell time of a first page result is 3 minutes 10 seconds, according to Brian Dean.
3. You feature 0 images. Where's the alt text? Looking at these walls of text makes me want to bounce ASAP, which isn't obviously good for your dwell time.
4. I think you need to step up your content game A LOT. Look at what Wirecutter does: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-high-end-ranges/ https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-high-end-ranges/
5. You say the site features no ads-- but that's kind-of a lie. You are an affiliate site, which I personally never trust anyway, when they're created in this sort of way. It's like look how bad the mattress industry is with these sites. You can't trust any of them.
6. Good content that ranks in Google is comprehensive. You should think about making your post format meatier. Help people choose which one is right FOR THEM. Explain why you chose what you chose. Use descriptive headlines so people can skim. People want to see pics before they click through.
7. I highly recommend learning more about what constitutes good content vs bad content.

- midef 8y agoThanks for detailed comments. Many of the design choices that I made for the site are polarizing (like the decision to include no images). Same goes for the content: My goal is to help people get in and out of the site in five minutes or less. It's a bummer when that seems like a cop out. I've found it much harder to write short (and meaningful) content than it is to write longform.
