I like the furniture business site and the blogger posts. Good high quality information. More of that.
Your landing page doesn't instill that kind of confidence. When I see a page like that I don't even read the text. Just say bye bye. You asked for honest criticism. That is the way I feel.
Put together a folksy page, give them information, Some subtle links are good. The in your face promotion just turns people off.

WA blog on blogger: My personal preference is to not use centered text unless you can separate the blurbs, and manually split the sentences to achieve visual balance. Your content appears complete, but if it's visually difficult to absorb, you'll not engage your reader deeply enough to develop that desire to click through.

Furniture refinishing - I love that cedar chest!!! Wow! (Hawg blog) I didn't notice pricing, but perhaps I missed it by not visiting every single page.

Furniture Restoration blog - some very nice content that is interesting to read. (I have a series of Squidoo lenses on woodworking, so reading your blog was enjoyable. )

I'm curious as to the books on the background, though ... I would have expected something less library and more workshop.

My only suggestion would be to break up the text into smaller chunks to make it easier for people to read.

Also putting in some paragraph headers in bold print would help - my understanding is that you can put keywords in those for a little extra google juice, but with all the recent changes, I could be all wet thinking that.

It would help the eyes track and if you hit the high notes in bold between sections, your reader will be more likely to see at a glance that there's something worth sticking around to read.

Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing.

Huntsnas, I am not sure how long you started working online, but all these website show the dedication and the implementation of your learnt stuffs. Now, if you want honest feedback for your blogs:

first, for the WA blog, it is good, but people outside WA should be encouraged enough and you need to put in long hours on that blog. You need to write regular posts on several features inside WA in order to impress the visitors. You can get an idea from the emails sent to you By Kyle and Carson. Just try to grab the USP of WA and write on your own and promote it.Keep a comment section under the every blog post. Try to update your blog with at least 5 new posts per week. Once you have got some worthy content, it is time to promote your blog and you will come to know about it with in WA for sure. Just for the time being, you can ping your blog after every single post.You can use their service:http://pingomatic.com/

And for the furniture site, it looks Ok. Please remove the Marquee tag on home page, rather you should keep the TEXT fixed with some matching fonts and color.

Thanks.

Good job!! We are cheering for you!
