hello, http://www.1up-seo.com 1) from a marketing-perspective for my service. If you see my first page...and how would you rate it in terms of "how good would it sell" 2) from a content, web2.0 and blogging persepctive....for someone who is interested in SEO. How is the bloggin quality/layout etc of my blog entries ? 4) From a design perspective....colors, navigation, general look and feel. does it look trusty, would a potential customer purchase any of my services ? Where do i need to improve...eg. colors, logo etc. 5) Anything important missing ? General impression the site makes for bloggers (potential adsense revenue) and serious "customers", which can either purchase SEO services or translations thanks !!!
The site gives a good impression of what it's about right away. The design is not the most organized I have seen, but it is not bad. However, I would definitely change the logo and the Google Pack images. They look very outdated to me. Hope that helps. Good luck.
Hi: All I have to say is rework your logo pal. Its ugly! Other then that its pretty nice. Good Luck, neverstudy
Overall, I think your site has a personality disorder. It's simultaneously trying to be a blog and to sell a service. If you want to sell a service, limit the number of outbound links -- otherwise perfectly good clients may follow a link to another blog, to one of your blogposts, to HostGator, etc. I think you're right to focus on the need to get your customers' trust. I'd recommend that you offer them a 30-minute phone consultation for free. Give them a chance to talk to you in person and get to know you. Much easier to close a sale at that point. I'd also move some of your customer testimonials onto the homepage. Good luck! -Chris
