    AT first glacnce, there is way too much going on. I looks more like a series of blog posts than a landing page. The second I see your page it looks like it's going to take way too long to find what I want so if I were interested in forex I'd be one of the reasons why your bounce rate it high.

    IMO, your landing page is way too "all over the place." There is too much going on and not a clear purpose with what you want the visitor to do. I would send them elsewhere.

    Personally, I think you would be better off with a squeeze page that captures an email address. Short and sweet - only one alternative - give your contact information in exchange for a valuable freebie or leave.

    And IMO, the popup is very annoying.

    If anything, there's way too much going on here. Start with the top menu - you say the page is about forex, but I immediately see choices for stocks, commodities and more. Let me guess - you're an affiliate for a variety of forex related products, and you want to send people to a vendor page. Am I right?

    Your page reminds me of a struggling diner trying to have something for everyone, with a 100+ items on the menu, none of which they do very well.

    You may want to think about having multiple landing pages, each dealing with a specific question or aspect and leading to an opt-in form offering a specific content upgrade. Steve has the right idea, but in a crowded field like forex, especially for affiliates, a traditional squeeze page could well get lost in a sea of similar pages with uninspired offers of generic information.

        fxstay, gathering emails is absolutely vital to the health of your business because THAT'S how you get your viewers to come back.

        Send them updates, notifications, tips, my word - there are all sorts of things you can email them; after all, forex is an "in the moment" business.

        Sign up with your competition's email to see what they are sending out.

        Besides that, what kind of people are you marketing to? What else do they do? What are their other interests? Do you belong to any forex forums to find out? Are the mostly housewives, sports enthusiasts, do they enjoy fishing and hunting? I mean, we're talking gamblers here.

        You can use Facebook or Traffic Central to narrow your target to people who are into forex and are female Dallas Cowboy fans. Then you can put a side bar ad in your email/newlsetter for those girlie sports team shirts. It's called impulse buys.

        Frankly, the list is endless.

          i know collecting email is good but it cost additional fee to create and manage the list .

    Sorry, fxstay. Please would have been nice to see in the request.

    See, selling on the 'net is all about your audience. What do they want, how can you make them happy so they want to buy from you, do whatever it takes to give them what they want.

    The very best way to do that is to treat them the way you want to be treated.

    Your landing page: Do you enjoy landing on a page that blasts you with all sorts of info and pops up in your face and confuses the living daylights out of you? I certainly hope not.

    Here's what you do:

    Search your key phrases.
    1. Open every single web site at the top of page 1 for each phrase. View the layout, crawl around the site for a bit, give some thought to how they are presenting themselves to their audience.
    2. Take a look at how many sites link to those results by entering the site name in Google (not the url, just the site name) Ex.: Warrior Forum, not www.warriorforum.com
    3. Check out the quality of the sites that are linking to the ones you are comparing.
    4. Choose the top sites with the best backlinks, copy the layout.

    After that, add good content, apply good SEO, create your Fan Page and learn to use social media and sites like Pinterest, and study like hell to better your site.

    The page loads kind of slow. Things are going on everywhere. I would get rid of the sharing tabs on the left hand of the screen, and remove the Adsense from the top of the page. Get a better headline in the header. And post frequently. The latest post says "January 2016".

      I have never sold forex products but you might want to give infographic or something in the squeeze page and have them go check out top 3 forex offers on thanku page. Try this with ppv and Bing or media buy on investment/forex related sites. Forex trading is about trust, if your landing page doesn't look professional people are going to turn their back.

    I think you might be a bit confused about having and benefiting from an email list.

    Right now, it looks like you're trying to dump everything you can into one page and rely on visitors to absorb all of if and figure out they should click your links and sign up for free accounts. Only the most dedicated will even make the effort.

    You're also fooling yourself if you think people will just come back to your site on their own. They may like it enough to bookmark it, but I can pretty much promise you that bookmark will quickly sink into the sea of other bookmarks people collect and never visit again.

    If you have an email list, you can guide people back to your site and help them consume your content in the order that does you the most good rather than relying on them to figure it out. After you've done your job educating them and getting them excited about the possibilities, you can introduce the idea of "trading on paper" before sinking (risking) real money. With that in mind, you can guide them to the brokerages that pay you and why they should use those brokerages rather than running a Google search and picking one without your affiliate code.

    Building up a Facebook page used to be a reasonable alternative, but these days you have to pay for promotion if you want to have a prayer of getting a reasonable number of your fans to see your posts. Yes, if they visit your page they can see all of your posts, but we're back to the same problem of relying on very busy people to remember to come back to your page.

    With an email list, you have permission to drop your messages right into their inboxes.

    As for the extra fee, sometimes you have to pay to play. You could try to get by with the free email list usually included with your hosting account, but you lose the advantage of taking each new subscriber through the same educational process.

    Whoa. That is a landing page?
    IMHO, your landing page looks too cluttered to be a landing page. Not much to see, just a bunch of paragraphs that doesn't look interesting. A landing page should be interesting for it to capture leads. You should add a bit of interesting graphics and remove some of the unnecessary wordings on there. Your landing page shouldn't also load real slow, it took me a minute to see the whole page and I'm running on an internet speed of 300mbp/s, so internet speed isn't the issue. It should also have a form where people can fill in their name, contact number and email address.

    Goodluck.
