Definitely do three things:

3) AAAAAAhhhh... FIX the about us page something quick. Make it look like the home page, remove the pictures. Use only one picture of yourself. Make it a respectable, business-man like appearance.

I thought maybe straying away from the whole serious business man running the website to the family theme might set me apart, I could be wrong, but that was my thought on it.

OK, my .02...

+ There is too much space between the header and the content.
+ The navigation bar on the left is too bright. I wouldn't stay long at your website, if I ever had to.
+ Maybe the font size is too small for some older readers.

Hope this helps.

The about page is scary, bro. The about page gives you another page to SEO the fuck out of it. Throw in credit cards and whatever other keywords you can fit in there. Get rid of the picture there. Don't even put a picture of you. Make it look like you run a serious business. Make up some fake ass names, and at the end of the article say The author of this article, Bill Blahbla, is an economics expert blasjfkafjalfj...

The next article would be Samantha Blowme's or something, a fiscal manager working with those in deep cases of credit debt.

See how that would make you look super professional? I don't want to use a credit card that an 18 year old is pushing with his 15 year old gf or whatever. You don't even need a picture of you on there. Because you are a team, yo!

Also, on your blog, there is no link back to the homepage. Im on the blog... how the F do i get that credit card!!!?

Best of luck... Oh, what system did you use to build the site. Thinkin about gettin into it too.
 
Credit cards are a tough niche, I know the payouts are tempting but I'd go for something else. Getting organic traffic is VERY VERY hard.
Here are my stats, a lot of the impressions are probably search spiders:

Didn't make a dime.

EDIT: Actually that site was my first real attempt at making money online through SEO. Learn from my mistake, find a niche. I know when people say that it seems really hard, but just research the competition for terms and you'll find one (that you can actually dominate). I suggest doing small products or brands, remember, the internet is GLOBAL. Businesses that would never make it offline can make you A LOT.
 
Your about us page is disgusting. Other than that, the site looks great dude (haven't looked at the blog).

I doubt Id be raising my 2 and 4 year old sons with a 15 year old girl. we are both 25, I know the site is ruff I work 60+ hours a week (im a pediatric nurse, spare me the focker jokes) thanks for the advice though, hyperion right now im with credit-land.com, i like them because you could literally market the cards with ass tatooes and they wouldnt care. thanks for the advice, will apply and rinse and repeat and shit. sorry for the douche comment, im about shitfaced.
 
Hmmm...

I understand the appeal of a "we are a family business" about site.
However, this does not excuse

- The about page not LOOKING like the rest (user goes .. WTF?)
- You LOOSING your left-hand navigation on the about page (user goes .. WTF?)
- You NOT EVEN BOTHERING to use proper formatting and fonts. (user goes .. WTF?)

As a customer, I might buy from a "family biz" but not from one that treats me like this when I want to find out about them.

Your site looks nice, but when I arrive there, it just looks like you are trying to pull a scam. aka "I use a template all the way and just throw some info together on the about page"

Clean it up. Now.
