    This is my 2nd opt in page, my first one got a lot of good comments here that helped me out and I thought I would get some feedback on my new one. It relates to eBay hence the background colour. Thanks

    personally, i would say, it looks just like one of those scamming sites that scam you out of your hard earned money by tricking you into thinking its alright to do what on it. On the other hand, its also generic, very generic and unappealing but some people do fall for it.

    Wow, ummm... Yeah, I always close any web page that has the height of the page more than double the fold. Unless it is a directory of sorts. It reminds me of those pyramid deals where you resell the same e-book to like 50 people who then also resell it... to crazy for my taste.

    If you want some one to opt in... then the one thing that you have to add, which no one does.. is give info... If you are asking people to opt-in for secrets to making money on ebay, then share some of those secrets. Dont ask the "Have you always wanted to sell on eBay?
    Having trouble deciding what to sell &
    finding a reliable supplier?"

    Question as that is a major distractor, you'd be better off with a blog that shares info that people would like, then give them an option to opt-in rather than have the entire page focus on opt-in box... you drew too much attention to it.

    Good Luck with it though,

    Nick

    Sorry guy but your site is looking so plain and unattractive that it gave me
    filling like if I am looking at piece of colorful toilet paper.

    The background is very distracting from the words, and the words just aren't "captivating" enough for me to even bother to sign up.

    Just look at this as a way to improve you website, as I'm sure you already will.

    Sorry Markvin2205 but I agree with the above Looks and Smells of a Scam Page.

    Tips:

    1 lose that awful background
    2 Deal with What you are Providing e.g. relate title and body content to what you are providing.
    3 Change the layout and font.
    4 lose that green So how much does it all cost box!
    5 Put subscribe in a nice box and privacy details underneath.

    I couldn't have said it better myself! the colors on the side are more distracting then the content, and that's not good...

    I would try to put the focus on the content, not the background...
