Just launched DriveFreeForLife: an experimental site (for me)

DriveFreeForLife is an intentionally provocative domain, although maybe a little too much like a "pitch." It's really built around a tool called the free gas calculator, which is intended to help people think differently about rising gas prices, and give them something concrete to do about it.

I'd appreciate any feedback (positive or negative) as well as any suggestions for the site (promotion, expansion, etc.).

 

Very smooth layout. I like the gas calculator

 

Thanks argothiusz. The calculator is really the key to the site. Makes you think, eh?

 

The gas calculator is a great tool, thanks for sharing it. Also the layout is pretty sweet

 

The ad placement, the color scheme, and the layout is excellent, the site looks good.

 

Thanks for the kind words. I kinda like it, too.

 

that seems like a cool idea! great with the calculator!

 

Definitely interesting. But I'm not sure that you'll get visitors to stick around and read much. How can you convey that this is not a scam? Do you have any testimonials that can be posted? Interest is one thing, trust is another.

 

Thanks kleveros.

I don't expect the site will have a lot of "stickiness," but I do think it could garner a lot of traffic and (hopefully) some media attention (mainly because of the timeliness of the topic).

The testimonials is a great idea. I have some quotes and I'll look at adding them to the site.

 

Its not Been used by me over here , but its good thing to share
And i think its actually nice.

 

I've had some feedback that I should add content. Any suggestions or content ideas?

Also, any suggestions for building traffic (apart from advertising)?
