I have two small favors

1) i like to get some feed back on my website
which is a local personal training website,
I love your feed backs and i think its very valuable to improve things.

Personal Trainer Vancouver - Finally Fit Personal Training & Boot Camp

what do you like about it, what do you not like , what do you think
i can improve on


2) I like to know what is the best and fastests ONSITE/off site SEO course
for me to learn, I like to create a plan for my admin to start improving
my SEO , I am 1st for 1 main keyword and i want to be 1st on the otehr top 6 keyterms.

I already have a good SEO guy, but he is expensive and so i like to start creating material and hand it to my admin and speed up the process.


I am living in a high competitive area (vancouver) but i m sure with your help and tons of hours and gods grace i can get up there.

THank you so much for any feed back and your time

    Best local website I've seen in a long time, Sean - Bravo. Get your traffic situation in order and you should crush it.

    - big, bright opt-in above the fold
    - clean graphics
    - telephone number prominently displayed on every page
    - engaging video ready to rock upon landing
    - today's date for freshness
    - 'most popular' comes before 'latest' - very good
    - 'daily inspiration' - great title for your fb box

    ...could maybe use a spam/privacy statement somewhere but, frankly, the overall presentation is so credible, I doubt if anyone hesitates to opt-in without it.

    Again, great job.

    Hopefully you'll get some SEO's to chime in for you here in a moment.

    I think autoplaying your video will get you more sign-ups. Autoplaying has been shown to boost response rates in various markets (even though it's a little annoying). Test it of course, but my guess would be you'd get better results that way.

    Good luck with it,

      Sean,

      The site looks very good. I love the way you have the videos going down the right side.

      From an anal retentive point of view, you could go to The W3C Markup Validation Service and copy paste in the URL of your site and you'll see it could use some touch-ups in the code that should (in theory) help you with your serp rankings. (Currently it shows 52 Errors, 36 warnings.)

    Sean great looking site, I like all the social proof--very well done.

    Not sure if you noticed this but your navigation menus (when the drop down) fall behind your YouTube video in the main page (and perhaps other pages)

    This can be fixed with some changed to the embed code (Google the problem), or by using a proper wordpress plugin that does the proper code for you.

    Cheers,

    ~Dexx

    PS - Did you use a special plugin/widget for your opt-in form with Facebook connection?

    PSS - Just watched your main page video--awesome stuff--the background music at the end of the video drowns out the testimonials and such tho...might want to re-edit and lower that volume to be less dominating!

    I really like the site.
    I know you said you are paying a bit more for SEO, but the guy does know what he is doing.
    The layout is good and graphics are nice.
    You are creating lots of good content that will draw readers in from different areas. Keep up the good work and keep writing those articles.

    Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! One of the most exciting sites I've looked at in awhile!

    (Man there are a lot of Warriors from BC/Vancouver--I'm an original North Vancouverite meself!)

    Great looking site, lots of content. I would choose a different image for your top video (red t-shirt)--current one looks a little odd. I looked at it in Firefox and the menus dropped over the video which was fine.

    For the rest of the site, I see content and more content. Lots of "hooks" to get different people clicking and involved. Your intro video starts off the right way with reasons why people would be interested, and you're asking for their email so you can communicate with them. The vid ends by asking them to give them your email--but where do they do this? (I *know* it's just to the right of the video, but I didn't see it the first time--and so others won't either.) You're definitely on the right track!

    Sean,

    Awesome site bro!

    What would you think about moving your "connect with fb" button above the optin? I've been using an app where people opt in with fb instead of emails and have been getting much better conversion and real email addresses and a bunch of other data that fb loves to give us marketers =)

    Just wondering if that would boost conversions because people are becoming more at ease with connect with fb.
