New Coffee Site

Hi all,

I am a free member of HyperVRE (heard of it?) and have just created my first website with the program: http://www.goodcoffeesite.com and I would like some feedback on it.

I am aware that the blue links on the grey background look absolutely not good (literally not readable), and I am working on finding out how I can change that.

SEO is literally non-existent, I will have to work on that as well.

Could you just let me know the general first impression, and maybe somebody has an idea how I can create a sitemap for this site (I know about gsitecrawler and a couple of other free products, and I have played around with them but don't seem to be able to grasp how it really works). Can I simply create another webpage for the site and just add it all by hand? Will a "hand-created" sitemap be as effective SE-wise as one created by a program?

Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Petra

The site jumps up and yells, made for Adsense.

Is your only goal the couple dollars you can make off AdSense?

Honestly Janeth!

Did you have to ask?? LOL

Yes, to make the money off Adsense is really my goal (Because that seems to be the most money I can make with my other website which I was sweating over for months, no money to be made in selling the products as an affiliate!). So I thought I give AdSense a go.
But I do also not feel too good about this website. Because it is really not "mine", and I haven't really "designed" it, and have not got too much input about the content.
But then, will it be worth again to spend a couple of months trying to do my own thing, to just earn about $10 a month in Adsense income?

I would try and find a new business model. That one does not sound like a very good one.

my first step in terms of SEO would be to optimise your title tag and meta prescription tags followed by indulging in concrete content generation and less ads as mentioned earlier
