Those were just few suggestions. Of course it all ultimately depends on the kind of site you have.

I just checked the site and I think it's a cool idea. It makes money once you can engage the users which I'm afraid it probably is not doing in its current form. Also the kind of site you have is more likely to be bookmarked and used than being talked about in blogs which is actually not that bad.

First of all the home page only gives the impression that this is some kind of product directory. What you can do to fix this is by showing some products on front page. It could be hot-sellers or anything you fancy. Don't put the user go through the trouble of typing it. Tease them with few products and then they will search on their own.

The priority right now should be to engage the users. If they are not spending more than 4-5 minutes on your site then it means you need to try new landing pages.

You can also increase the size of thumbnails that one gets on product category pages. It looks too congested right now.

In a nutshell, you Sir need a better optimized homepage more than anything else right now.
