Please check out my site www.theshoppersworld.com. I am working on my optimization now but would like to hear what you have to say.

In addition any idea of what to do to boost my affiliate program?

Please review. Waiting for suggestions.

To sell online your site needs to send messages to visitors - such as those of competence, efficiency, integrity. Your site is not very inspiring and does not convey such messages.

The header does not expand, whereas the body of th site does- this looks poor.

For optimization, your code should start with a DOCUMENT declaration at the top of each page.

The home link at the bottom of the page (is 'Back to Home' good English?) or logo are not too intuitive.

The header area and domain name do not make it obvious that you do not sell phones, but phone accessories.

There are a lot of clicks to drill down to the product details.

Also do you think visitors are really likely to do this?

I did realize that I do not get my message across, do you have any suggestions of what I can do?
Thanks so much for your help!

I'd keep it cool, clean and uncluttered. As a store owner you are keen to get every possible message across asap.

The right column only distracts and actually looks like it's ads for other sites. I'd get rid of it completely.
