Hi I'm Charles and I've been browsing these forums quite a bit but never registered..until now. I've been doing web stuff competitively for less than a month and I only have about one site up and running. Hope to learn more from everybody here. Charles
Hi Charles & Welcome! Awesome forum, isnt it? I've been registered for quite some time, but am just now joining in myself. I look forward to getting to know you. I wasnt sure I caught your meaning, so quick question: are you doing web design as a service, or developing web sites of your own as revenue sources?
Ah sorry for the vagueness but I develop my own web sites and just want to further my knowledge of internet marketing and search engine optimization in general. I'll list one of my fully functional sites: merkpro.org
Cool! Your copy reads well. I am real leary of "wholesale directories" but you pretty much touched on all the points that would have left me wondering or made me sceptical. Can I make a suggestion? Or maybe I'll just ask it as a question: Why put Adsense on your main page / sales copy? Personally, I would remove that and make your call to action (order button) stand out more. You could then put up a wholesale directory (free, like LMA or something) either on a new domain or in a sub directory and put Adsense throughout the directory. That would of course help you greatly in link exchanges as well, while still being a resource to your site (not just a links page).
I thought about that after I hit "submit reply" and figured I owe you an apology - you didnt ask my opinion Anyway, great to meet you here at DP!
Your intro says you're Charles however your username says you're not scorched. I'd like to believe you are both, so I will. Welcome to DP.
