dballer, if my math serves me correctly you have 9 posts and your blog is very new. 20-50 visits per day is to be expected for a blog at your stage.

As you've just learned, traffic is not always good traffic. There's the highly targeted traffic from people who are really interested in what you have to offer. And there's the low-quality traffic you often get from the traffic programs, etc. And I agree, unless you have a site related to Webmastering then these types of programs are usually useless.

Your content has definitely improved from when you first asked us to review your site. It's much more focused, but I still think you are trying to sell too much. I get a sales pitch feel when I browse through your blog. Banners, pills, books, and it just seems as if you're screaming "Buy something from me!!" and it distracts me from your content.

Also, work on your consistency. In some articles, you start with all caps and then you return to sentence case. If you find that people are leaving very quickly that could mean many things....

1) The traffic is not very targeted
2) They are getting turned off by too many ads
3) Not enough content (keep building, you'll get there)

Did you know the most successful blogs that make good money are at least 3 years old? So it seems as if you believe you should have much more traffic than you have. It's perfectly normal to see minimal visitors at this stage. Your main concern should be the quality of the visit. And if you are noticing people aren't staying long then you need to address the above 3 points.

Also who are you targeting? Men? Women? Beginner bodybuilders? Do you have a specific group you are trying to market to?

Also, where are you promoting your blog? (other than the traffic exchanges).
