critique my site

Well I dont know much about this niche so I wont comment on the message or content.

But one part that did catch my eye was the button on the right hand side.

I know you mentioned the form, so you might not be done with it yet, if so then ignore me. But if that is what you are planning to say then you wont get many optins.

Not many people are going to optin for a "free ebook". Not because it is an ebook, but because there are no benefits attached to the free ebook.

You are better off with something that has benefits tied to it, like "7 Delicious Thanksgiving Dishes That Will Actually Make You Lose Weight Over The Holiday Season".

Free is great, as long as there is some form of Want there too. You have to keep in mind that giving away a freebie to start a relationship is a lot different then an inducement to buy, where just about anything free will help.

But I suspect that you werent going to leave it like this. Just thought I would point it out.

Good luck.

The header has a massive problem with it. Look at the woman to the right, you will see a green dumbbell near the blue one. It looks like you, or the designer, tried to swap this for the blue one in her hand, but it looks bad and there are white marks all along the blue dumbbell.

The copy is nice, but I don't know if I would personally sign up. The reason is because you aren't really differentiating yourself. There are 1,000s of sites that say nearly the same thing, and I think you need to make your website a little more unique.

I do like the way the ebook button looks to the right, but I agree that it needs copy that is a little more specific.

You have a chance.

First, though, you must understand the level of sophistication the weight loss market is in and tailor your message appropriately.

(Weight loss is at the 4th level, and I don't believe your web site takes that into account.)

The book Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz talks about market sophistication in Chapter 3.

Your site looks pretty good to me. I like to see folks getting something started. I think you might take the advice about putting some specific suggestions in the box to the right instead of just a free ebook. I will also tell you that the rest looked like a good start. I wanted to encourage you to keep going with what you started.

You mention the 60day money back guarantee. You need to go into detail somewhere in the site.

There is also more contact information on the front page than on the contact us page.

Hi,

You can consider using the link cloaker for the Clickbank affiliate link. And you can add the "Get Start Today" is at the 1st paragraph.

All The Best.

It looks better than some sites I've seen. I like the color scheme you have. Apple green, white and blue.

I like the 'contact us today' part is on the left side of the screen. People are likely to read that first since English is read from left to right.

Also the 'Experience You Can Trust' with the owner of the site as one that actually benefited the program.

I'm assuming the top menu will have pull-down sub menus as well? No?



I think you''ll have a chance in this niche. Your site looks good, many people do want to lose weight and be healthy.

Thanks for info, this is cool!)

Hi,

It looks different that what I've expected. I have just received the survey results for a weight loss niche. This survey was sent to many people (huge list, I am processing only a small sample of it) and the results surprised me.

It showed me what people are actually looking for when they want to lose weight. Based on what I've analyzed so far, here is what I suggest:

-> Define "right programs". Some people want easy programs. Some want effective ones. Some want to lose fat no matter the price. Other want to take it easy.

-> People don't dislike the fact that they are overweight. They dislike the fact that they feel overweight and how other react to them thanks to this.

-> I don't know if they want to get in shape. I think they want a specific benefit. Maybe they want a flat belly. Maybe they want to have more stamina. Be specific.

-> Backed by 10 years of experience. Where is the proof for that?

-> What's your USP? How are you different from anyone else?

-> Make it easier to read and less like a SEO copy.

I think that's all. I've only reviewed the main, home page. My main advice to you is to find out what is the specific benefit they want and sell that benefit.

Otherwise, yes, this is a competitive market and it's hard to succeed by playing copycat.

Design is attractive, but for me certain points missing as far as the SEO is concerned..They are:
1) The Home page doesnt have enough content, thus the keyword to target doesnt have enough repitations in the content
2) The inner page ulrs are with underscore(_). For good search engine visibility, you should use hyphens(-) between the words in url
3) The Description meta tag should contain your targeted keywords, The title tag too.

Firstly, you should have asked that question before you
created the website or your product. Market research
should be the first thing you do, and you should do it
for about a week.

Really know what the problems are
in your niche, what people want, what they hate,
and your demographics... etc.

Now, I noticed that you put "Click Here for a free E-book on weight loss"

That is a big NO NO.

Nobody wants an E-book. That's such a bad word and we should all
ban that word from our internet marketing vocabulary.

Instead of E-book use Action guide, Digital Report, Road map... etc.

Fix the header you have too. If you have the extra $100 bucks or so,
just have someone here design your site... This forum is home to some
very VERY TALENTED warriors.

Best Regard,
Anthony


This is great information you have posted, I'd love to have the link
to the survey... I'm not in the niche but I love surveys (as weird and nerdy as that sounds)

I've read some great poll surveys on some forums about acne...AMAZING

what I found was crazy informative... here was one of the results

Which statement best describes you?
42% people said I've never dated someone with acne, but I would so long as it wasn't too bad.

Hello Anthony,

Thank you. There's no link. It's internal marketing data used for a new campaign. If you have a list, survey them too and you'll get some amazing insight.
