cb-analytics.com grand makeover ideas

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by karabas, Oct 3, 2008.

    It's been almost 1 year since I've started Clickbank Analytics and almost half that much since I really invested time in it. So I'm looking for "birthday present" ideas for it (the website).

    Please post here about what kind of features/data/content/articles would you want added/removed/changed. What do or don't you like about using it? How would you have made it better in general?

    For one I realize that visual design is suboptimal at best and that's definitely going to change.

    I'm open to any kind of suggestions on this thread and will watch it closely and answer all reasonable questions.

    I know that some of you guys are using the website and therefore you should have some feedback that I would love to hear.

    2 words - Visual Overhaul!

    Everything is great about it but that... I'm sure you could monetize better this time around too!

    The site needs a more professional look-and-feel (light pink just doesn't do it for me) - the content seems to be informative and usable. Don't add too much of new data (it already has enough statistics and graphs imo), rather make a few sites explaining what exactly the data means and in what kind of ways it can be used. Also, it would be great if the links would work without javascript.
    Keep it up!

    I think everything is pretty good.

    You just need to work on design and that's it.

    I use and love your site. I'll give my opinion, which I'm sure people will disagree with.

    Please don't give a retarded design. Your site is a tool and I use it as such. I don't come to it to masturbate to the graphics and design. I use it because of it's functionality. If you come up with some "uber cool design with graphics" you take away from the functionality. I don't have a problem with making it look nice, but functionality and the ease of using it should be of the top priority. Like I said, I don't go to your site for the design, I goto it because it is good tool.

    Advanced search options is something I'm looking for. Being able to search ranges would be nice. Like search between 50 and 20 gravity, or $20 and $30, etc.

    a few months ago - i'd say that I hate the design, but now - if you change the design I am afraid I will have to get used to the new interface... as long as it's simple to use - it's great!

    I visit your site everyday, it's really usefull. I also use cbengine.com which is also very good, but I have to admit your site loads a lot faster. So keep it simple and fast like now, but you could add new features I think. If you re-design your site it would be a lot better. Also it would be nice to see the actual product price and also publisher earnings.
    AND big graph on the front page which shows 25 top gravity products according to time and their gravity.
    It would be helpfull to see top products falling and rising to see in which niche to dive :)

    Thank you and congratulations.

    LOL, you killed me here :D

    Actually, I do agree with you in some way. Graphics and design are good, but it's important not to overdo them...

    I personally would like it to stay low graphic and fast loading. Not a whole bunch of crap like cbengine. It's been a success so far and remember, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Maybe some small touches, nice logo. + pale red never really works. But still , fast loading :)

    Congrats on the site, I use it everyday.

    Karabas, I gotta say I love your site, I use it everyday!
    Kudos to you for making such a site. I like it much better than CB trends or CBengine.

    What I'd like implemented would be a custom product search in which you can get results according to the parameters you specify.

    The Parameters would be something like:

    Gravity
    Earned per Sale
    Recurring (Yes/No)
    Category
    Keyword

    So for example I could enter something like

    Gravity - More than 100
    Earned Per Sale - More than 25$
    Recurring - No
    Category - Health
    Keyword - Stop Smoking

    And I will be given the products that match the parameters that I've specified (If any) .

    Thanks for all the feedback!
    I'm definetly going to keep the website as lightweight and fast and possible. After all I use it every day as well. In fact that is how the whole website started - I needed a tool for myself to use.

    Is there any data on the product page that is excess or rarely used in your opinion?

    Thanks for deciding to keep it lightweight, fast and easy to use. It will pay off in dividends.

    As for information that I don't use, the whole Google SEO Rating, MSN SEO Rating. I've never used these. I'm not sure about anyone else.

    Yeah I have to say the same here, they don't seem to add value, and they're not always accurate.. you may remove them
