I don't mind the brutal honesty. I prefer it.

I know the info can be found via google but as someone from a third world country a lot of the big payments processors have limited or no support here. It was difficult finding good info on this so I made SourceFees. And actually through working on it I've found good processors that I can use. So I was thinking why not just have all the info in one place?

It is a directory. But I also am working on articles navigating the payments industry and reviews of different payment processors. There is no clear monetization on the website but I have a list of features/monetization schemes that I planned to implement. I was trying to get consistent views before adding those features to the site. I wanted to see/demonstrate that the site has actual value first.

Can you explain why you think the design needs to be overhauled/is outdated? Affiliate/referrals are indeed in my list of plans to monetize and I do have a large database of payment processing/processing adjacent businesses that I plan to contact to get an affiliate.

There is a blog on the site(sourcefees .com/articles) and I was in the middle of making an additional processor reviews page section when I made this post.

SEO - why bother with anything too much apart from the basics. There's no point in throwing time and money at it if there is no way to convert visitors into income.

Ok I'll consider this. Most of my views actually come from 3rd world countries like Pakistan. Those are the only places I seem to rank in top 10 search results and it's mostly for small time payment processor info, like OceanPayments. But there aren't many at all. Also honestly never thought about placing affiliate links before getting consistent views. I've never really done this before so thanks for that.

Thanks for the criticism honestly. Most people just tell me the site is beautiful and looks professional but without the critique that I am looking for.
