Your opinion and suggestions about my new website

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by onestockaday, Oct 27, 2008.

    I am admittedly a rookie to this forum. I have a new website that I started a week or so ago, OneStockaDay.com. The purpose of this website is to post unbiased facts and opinions on one stock each day and then discuss the pro's and cons of the stock.

    If you go into the comments section in Yahoo finance or others, you don't get many facts about the stock or logic as to why you should or shouldn't buy a stock. Mostly it is people trying to influence other people for their gain (which is unlikely).

    I have submitted the website to the search engines, setup a google adwords account and tried some word of mouth marketing but with limited success.

    Any feedback on the website (I won't cry if you think the concept isn't any good!) or how to get the word out about the website would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!

    Not good site especially about stock. Like this site targeting professional readers. Do some quality article and change the design, rich with some quality pictures and content

    The site does indeed look unprofessional; get a nice designer and you could come up with some interesting branding; the concept is nice and could work well as a WordPress blog or something similar.

    I tried to keep the site simple with mainly facts but it looks like I might have made it too simple. I hate going into a website and having pictures flashing everywhere too much content so it takes you 5 minutes to find something that should have taken 10 seconds.

    Dude, design issues aside, almost every stock you recommended has taken a dip in price! Content (i.e. your stock picks) seems to be your biggest problem. If you gave awesome picks, nobody would care about the design. Regardless, Good Luck in the future.:)

    The concept isn't to push my stocks or recommend that users buy the stock. There are enough people out there pushing their crappy stocks. The concept is to suggest a stock and have people debate whether it is worth buying. Also, to have users suggest a stock if they can give good reasons to buy. Maybe I should take out the results page because these are stocks that I like that I am trying to get discussions about but I am not trying to push them.

    Also, in regards to the results, my timing probably isn't the best. About 5 out of 3,500 potential stocks are up during the last couple weeks.
