    IMO, the way the site is all layed out, it looks like a spam site.

    Exactly, this site screams spam. You'll need a total revamp if you want it to look credible.

    By the way, you've got a great domain name, don't waste it ;)

    Hold on guys- Though I do not care for the bouncy thing on the left, I've seen this format a lot on sites selling a product. Brad Callens SEO elite, the rich jerk, joel comm, etc. These are all pretty big names in my digital universe. ;)

    Though I'd go for a more professional look. I'm thinking that that this format is used to create a sense of urgency and excitement with all the annoying yellow highlights and red text. So I guess I'm saying- yes it's kind of ugly, but I suspect that people have found that this format works.

    I'm not sure if it would work for resumes though. It's hard to get pumped up on resumes vs. "make millions on adsense" or "15000 visits to your website".

    Though it does not hurt to try this style of page out, I'm thinking people looking for resume help are likely looking for a very professional site, and hype (or this level of hype) is probably overboard.

    One other comment for Shaki-
    Since you are selling a resume product, it is critical that you scrutinize your copy. I see several grammatical errors just skimming your text, and if I was a potential client looking for resume help, you've lost me right there. Also what time is 14:20 am?

    I guess I should have been more detailed in my response :)

    This is exactly what I was thinking. Yes, AdSense people can get away with these formats, but you're selling resumes, so your visitors will have a high expectation of professionalism.

    Listen to corinaw about the copy. On a site such as yours, bad grammar or spelling can ruin your site.

    It seems fit for a page which has a main purpose to sell, yes it screams spam, and I am surely not a fan of the box which drops down... although the design isn't all that bad. It could use a little touch up work, and maybe a set of cleaner fonts and not so much red.

    Maybe remove the box that drops and lets see then?

    thank you all for your comments. corinaw is right, regarding format. We are testing this format how will work for us and we are not SPAM website!

    Text copy is our draft version and we are changing it today :)

    Although some are not fan of drop-in box, it's very very useful to collect basic details of surfers for future campaigns.


    thank you once again,
