idtheft -> evaluate my web site (4/11/2005 14:46:51)

Could you please evaluate my web pages.

How do I use AdSense in a site such as mine.

Am I going to get opt-in-list sign ups by the way I'm doing it
with the free included in the sales letter?
Thanks,
Laurie

Laurie,

The page is clean and clear but BOY IS IT LONG! My finger was hurting from having to scroll so far down the page and when I got to the bottom, there were loads of blank lines before the hit counter.

You don't really have a site there, what you have is a page that links to another page. Break it up into smaller pages with a menu to link to them.

Your sign up page is far too basic. I looks, and I'm sorry to say this, very unbusinesslike and since you are asking people to give you their details you need to look professional. You are after all likely to be dealing with people who are highly suspicious having been conned already. Why should they trust you?

Once on that page you have no link to get them back to the other page. The menu mentioned above will get round that.

There are several typos, if you are so familiar with the site that you can't see them, get a friend to read it through for you.

You are underlining things to give them emphasis, don't. It makes them look like links and I kept trying to click on them.

You don't have a title for your home page, in the top bar it just says Home.

Adsense has full instructions when you sign up. It gives you the code to put into your page. Be careful. You may find that the only things it serves up are competitor sites. You can test it out by going to the following page and typing in your URL.

Will you get sign ups? Who knows. Will anyone even find your site? Who knows. If it comes top of a google search for identity theft.... maybe but you've got to get it to the top and that's not easy. Don't expect too much too soon.

The information you have is very useful but have to agree with Jaybee. You need to break it down and have different pages. Most of the sections you have highlighted or changed so it should be easy for you to see all the different pages you need to make.

Hope it goes well



TonyT -> RE: evaluate my web site (4/14/2005 12:53:23)

I agree also. A page should only be 3 scrolls down, at the most, if at all possible. Too much information on a page and people will not hang around. Sectioning it off helps if you must have longer pages. Just make sure that it doesn't read like a book. People do not read when they hit a web site. They scan.

Hi

I have to agree with the other comments. A long scrolling page will not, in my view, get you many readers or sales.

You have used all sorts of methods to brighten up your page using words only but in all honesty you need colour, pictures - anything to lift it.

I have to go a long, long way down to find out what you are selling and how much for.

I have seen sites like this before I am not sure they work.

What market segment will buy your product. What will they think of your site. What do they think of your business. Would they be convinced that the product is good and buy it from you.

Cheers

Ian

Thanks all of you for your comments. I had someone who was referred who took my info & helped make the sales page.
This is a site to sell my ebook on identity theft. I give 4 bonuses & another ebook. I have seen many sites with long sales pages.
I thought it was too long but was told no.
Hard to know who's right.

Thanks again,
Laurie

This is a site full of experienced webmasters who do work for some pretty big companies. We've given you our advice. It's entirely up to you whether you take it or not.

i woudn't trust it - it doesn't look prefessional enough and it looks old!

split it up into smaller pages and into small chunks of info

- use a different font (verdana, georgia say)
- more padding in the tables and lose the bevelled-ish borders
- the colours are a bit harsh - though the red is good for 'important' info. all that default red and default blue and default yellow (i.e Yellow, Red, Blue - named colours) scream marketing/adverstising scam. it doesn't matter how legit you are: if you don't look it then people are going to move on.

i would use the supercredit superman blokie somewhere as a heading and get some better quality product images

be consistent in heading sizes, alginments (centred, left, indented para's)

typo here
"You don't need to be scared that you will loose your excellent credit "

"lose"

:)

In the past MLM (multi level marketing) sites have had this format and were successful. I think the public has become more sophisticated and now may leave long one page sites before they ever know what you are selling.
