please take a look at my site and give me any ideas for improvement or to increase traffic. All help is greatly appreciated thanks! link is in my signature
Hmmm kinda plain mate. For one, to much white showing. The header is a little to plain also. Maybe put some people in the photo also exchanging something, like an idea, or even better cash. Real people, not clip art or animation. For the layout, try to get a border around the whole thing since you have your site centered. Take a look at my site and you'll get an idea of what I mean. After that, maybe try some backgrounds, or maybe not. But for one thing, most ppl don't like to do a lot of reading, so try to make the text shorter or add colors or pictures in certain spots to make it interesting. Just my little add in. Good luck.
I'm going to try and fix that next week. Thanks for the critique. Is the content good? Aside from being shorter, should there be any other editing to the body content?
Ah, if I had time I maybe would read it, but I'm not a guy for reading things if they are real long, and thats why I was suggesting that, because most people are like me when it comes to that.
content looks fine.. I sould use some <strong> tags on your keywords within the content. And setup a headline 1 <h1> tag t the top.
Like Hasty mentioned, it is defienetly far too much to read. I briefly skimmed it, and the content itself seems good. I would just find a way to shorten it. Or perhaps turn it into a FAQ that you have on the site, and use some sort of mission statement for your site thats short on the main page.
contents are fine.but text is too much. people are not interested in reading. so keep in mind this try to use proper text to make text shorter.it looks smart. header looks plain.
Nice simple site. Looks a little plain to the eyes, but otherwise its a good base for a site in your field. Good luck.
Nice layout and colors, you are overusing bold. I think you should try to do something to highlight the menu items.
OK, so I changed the entire layout to make it look more proffesional, wrote all new content, and made a much simpler landing page. The reviews page is still being set up, but the top 3 reviews page is live. What do you guys think. All opinions and criticism welcome. Thanks.
Maybe you can consider splitting the reviews page, I personally have trouble reading that log text pages
i finally got all the content up, I will continually write reviews for other survey sites, hopefully on a daily/weekly basis. Is my homepage a good landing page/ what should a good landing page look like?
Don't know if it is just my browser (Firefox), but the main text font is rather large. It looks as little "kiddie" if you know what I mean. I am no expert at font sizes - can't tell an em from a point myself, bu take a look at the text size here at the DP forum. That's about right in my book. Also, you might want to consider Verdana or Georgia - Arial is just ssssssoooooooooo overused now that I personally find it hard to take anything seriously that's written in Arial! Don't know if others agree...?
Are you actually using Adwords or something to send traffic your way? Your site is very new - I don't think you can expect much organic traffic (next to none, in fact), especially because your keywords are pretty high-competition. I don't know what the CPC prices are for this area, but I am guessing they are fairly high, meaning tight margins if you were to drive traffic your way using a CPC method.
