Hi everyone,

I realise this is a very general question and maybe something people won't be that willing to answer but I'd welcome any feedback you'd be willing to give. I had a site built - GoCatalunya.com - A Complete Guide to Catalunya - GoCatalonia.com, A Complete Guide to Catalonia - by someone else using Joomla and it's been up for about 18 months now. I get about 2000 visitors a month and have experimented a bit with adwords around hotels but found the commission didn't justify the spend. Although traffic is increasing slowly month by month what I'm earning from affiliates seems to be going nowhere. Since the site was built I've learnt how to use dreamweaver and find this a far easier way of building and optimizing sites than joomla, though my skills are limted to html so php and mysql are out.

So my questions are:
- Any general tips or advice
- Is 2000 monthly visitors a figure you'd expect to earn from or is it just pathetic?!
- Does anyone use Joomla to build affiliate sites and do they find it works? ie should I invest the time to learn joomla rather than doing future sites in dreamweaver?

Thanks in advance,
Greg
