Just Wondering

    I'm hoping to find out the general opinion everyone has of those sites that give out gifts for referring users and signing up for offers. I own one myself and although it runs relatively well it seems to me that people either give up or don't trust it. I was wondering if people could tell me either what the problem with my site specifically is or if it's just the fact that some of these types of sites never actually payout.

    Please keep the criticism constructive. http://www.gifts4referrals.com

    I think that the biggest problem you have with a site such as this is overcoming peoples instinctive mistrust of things that claim to be free; people (sheep) tend to tar everything remotely similar with the same brush imho.

    Your logo quality is poor, and in regards to trust, you offer nothing on the site to make it look trustworthy. No company information, no contact information, and no policies or disclosures.

    Hey camp thanks for the input. I've added a contact us link at the bottom of the page, changed the answer to one of the questions on the left hand side menu to state two ways of contacting us, tried to change the banner a bit. As far as privacy policies and TOS those were already there. Let me know what you think of the somewhat new look of the site. Thanks.

    I was thinking about coloring like you said but the way the page is set up i dont think it'd look all that great. I did however use the idea in a different way and outlined each section.

    I've made some rather large changes to the site. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

    I've added a tutorial video for how to use the site. Currently its on the bottom of the index of the site I was wondering what the opinion was of everyone here. Should I leave it as is on the front page or should I make it like the about us link and have it just pop up with the video tutorial. I'm thinking the pop up and it may be changed to that before anyone reads this but we shall see. Opinions wanted.
