Hi all,

I had just finished a review site and I would love to hear your comments on the new site.

The site is Treat Hemorrhoids Fast With A Honest Review Of The Best Hemorrhoids Treatment In the Market!

Any comments, good or bad, are appreciated.

    Thenns,

    Firstly, I would correct "a honest", it should be "an honest".

    Secondly, you state on your site that you deliver what you call "A honest and brutal review on 3 of the best hemorrhoids products in the market. I had already done all the legwork for you" but it would seem you've just re-stated some of the features and benefits from the product sites. You give no indication of how you came to give the star rating and giving you an "honest and brutal review" I personally think the site screams "affiliate marketer" which even the most naive visitor to it would find hard to miss.

    I would suggest that you might want to give much more information to the site visitor or at least make the information you do present far more congruent with your stated aim at the top of your page.

    Nigel

    I have no idea with the site, but for what you refered in these articles, I think more exercise and eating more roughage will do help. Further more, people who is suffering from the diesease can flush the sore with cold water everyday. Never use hot water, that will make your condition worse.

    In addition to Nigel's points above, I think "Click Here to Visit Product Name's Website" is meant to be changed to the actual product name.

    Thenns-

    It's a good looking site- but the object
    here is to make money, not look good
    right?

    You could easily boost your clickthrough
    rate by at least 100%...

    The problem right now is your copy... the
    headline is a little vanilla, but it's eyecatching,
    so it will probably do okay.

    But the copy below it is boring. You need to
    spice it up, and change the way it looks. Throw
    in some bold, and some more white space...

    Like this...

    And use short sentences. Like these.

    That way it will be more engaging.

    Now that's all great, but the #1 thing
    you want to do to boost your CTR right
    now, is put one of your affiliate links
    above the fold.

    Most visitors won't scroll... and if they
    can't see your links without scrolling,
    then your links won't get clicked.

    Also, make the product name in each
    case an affiliate link.

    Those tips should seriously improve
    the effectiveness of your site.

    I could give you more but my paying
    clients will lynch me.

    Good luck.

    You need to correct grammar errors in the opening copy block. There area number of them. Also, I'm not sure if the headline that ends with, "Now all you have to do is decide" is what you really want. I wouldn't be calling attention to the fact that they have to decide. Most people don't want to decide.

    I'm not a professional IM, but I have some things to point out.

    1. It doesn't look like a review site(maybe it's just me).

    2. If I am not an IM, and happened to stumble upon this website, I would not guess it's affiliate marketing, since I have no idea what that is anyway. Thus, I believe this website will be able to generate income.

    3. Add a banner, your current site looks quite plain at the top.

    My 2 cents.

  • It's pretty transparent to me, but what do I know. I have a particularly uncomfortable stick up my butt when it comes to fake review sites, fake news sites, fake government sites or fake anything.

    Personally, I think it serves it's purpose. The site is very direct response orientated, and that obviously works as you've already made a sale.

    There is some effective psychology being used here. This is a desperate niche, people are willing to buy without reading too much information. Not too many choices are given in product or other actions - like commenting, or browsing to a full review. The price is included, which means people who do click through are primed to buy. You allow the sales letter to serve it's purpose.

    With the above corrections already implemented which were illustrated in previous posts, I like it! Good for you!

    Bare in mind you will getting more views from this thread. Are you only counting views from EZA?

    If that 1/13 is consistent, you should be getting another sale within the next 10 visitors.

    Good luck!

      Yes. I am pretty sure I have about 55 views from EZA. My traffic in awstats is about 300 views but mostly it is coming from my IP. And of course WF does contribute about 30 views.
