Does My Site Stick?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by JacobWarren, Jun 23, 2009.

    the URL is http://www.populurl.com

    The main question I want to ask is does it stick? Does it make users want to keep visiting? If not, what should I do to it? What is it missing?

    Thank you all.

    IMHO you should ask your friends and relatives, not webmasters. I would never visit your site again :D

    Why would I like to ask friends and family? Should I get input from marketers and webmasters?

    imho the domain is hard to say / remember... after looking at it for 1 second, I can't remember the exact spelling to re-type it. Just a weird domain imho.

    Thank you Quangvan for the input. Since it's a list of a bunch of popular sites I wanted to mix the word popular with URL. I could see why it's hard to say/remember. You pronounce it (Pop-yuhl-url).

    Because as a webmaster I hate all the web 2.0 spam.
    However John Doe enjoys to waste time (Facebook, Digg, etc.) and might actually like your site.

    Another social bookmarking huh, it is not bad, but it does not have that wow. I would probably visit again though only for web promotion.

    Super long load time probably due to the fact that you're pulling data from a whole bunch of external sites. Two possible solutions I see are:

    1)grab the data periodically rather than real time, so the fetching of the data is done in advance
    2)make the home page something like the iGoogle page where users can choose what feeds they want, and the feeds are loaded using Ajax so the entire page doesn't hang while the feeds are loaded and users only have to wait for things they want, not every feed out there on the interwebs...

    Best of luck!
