Default Feedback please on my "Mini-Muse!"

Hi everyone! My first post here. I found the book a month ago and I knew it was for me. Luckily 90% of the "elimination" was possible instantly because of my unusual work situation (work from home anyway). I'll spare you my life story this time :-D but I wanted to get feedback on my first muse. I'm planning 3. The first is short term and the goal is to generate fairly immediate cashflow. Nothing over the top, but something modest and consistent. I'll describe it here and I'd like feedback and ideas. I have a "team" of people on this including volunteers.

Here is the site: http://www.lvlupwow.com

Some points:

*The URL is right. You're correct to question it, but it's insider jargon known VERY well by warcraft gamers. It's very well researched and we went through 3 domain names before settling on this.
*Speaking of which, there is a lot of "gamerspeak" here. I personally don't play the game, but I trust my sources who are gamers and have verified everything.
*The market here is "discerning" players who are looking to level up fast and are willing to part with some cash to learn how, but do their "homework" before buying.
*The goal is for 10% of visitors to the site to decide to purchase a leveling guide within 90 seconds of reading a review.

I've outsourced SEO campaigns and I'm doing onpage optimization myself according to the feedback I get.

Thoughts please! :-D

I'm not your demographic so my critique is limited to the site itself.

I like the site presentation overall. However, it is pretty hard to read with all the dim writing and dark colors. You can have the greatest copy but if no one can read it you're wasting your time.

Default A tip for you

The Atlantic has a blogger named Ta-Nehisi Coates who is a big WoW player. Also, every weekday, he posts an open thread where you can leave whatever comment you want on his site. Go there Monday and post a description of your site and a link to it, and ask for feedback. Or e-mail TNC directly.

Good luck.

Cool. I like how you incorporate keywords in your blog post. I noticed your latest post, polling for the fastest class. It would be a good idea to link a twitter account to your blog. For instance, "which is the fastest characters to level in wow? post your reply at <website>"

Thank you for the feedback!!! We do have a twitter account. How would I go about "linking" this?

Thanks again and please anyone else who has any feedback at all, please help! This is my very first effort at this and I consider this a test case before launching at least two way more ambitious muses.
