Hi Guys,

Just finished what is my very first CPA site can i`m looking to find out what some of you CPA pros think to it as i`ve no idea if i`ve done a good job or not i cannot make my mind up.

Also i really dont have any idea the best places to place the banners for best CTR and got alittle messed up trying to place the banners from neverblue.

I am getting a friend to design me a nice header banner so when i`ve finish the site it will have a really nice header banner and not the black jigsaw effect thats in place now.

So give it to me stright if its no good i want to know ! And if you think the CTR going to be crap can you tell me how i can improve the layout to get a better CTR.

Heres the site. How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost

Thanks Jim

    Looks good dude ... the biggest question tho is how much traffic can you throw at it with PPC ... and how much is the payout?

    I have a hunch the payout is simply too low to be able to drive enough PPC traffic to it.

      Yeah you think it looks good Nick ?

      PPC are you joking i`ve never even tried PPC not really that interested i enjoy SEO and i think i can rank that site as its got a exact match domain with just shy of 3000 searches per month,

      If the customer fills the form out for the trial its $40

      Hi when you say add more content do you mean write a few more articles and add as post/pages or add more to the home page ?

      Do you think starting a site with only 3 pages is too little ? I mean i dont want to spend too much time on this site as i dont know if i caan get it to convert and most of the keywords worth chasing are very competitive for this neich, I`m not shy of hard work just not sure if i get some good feedback.

    Hi there,
    jJst a couple of simple small things you can add which will help you out; Google likes privacy policy and contact us pages.
    Also, have a look at the thread "teeth whitening trials" in this forum. I think you'll find it interesting.

    I would add more content as you go to improve ranking. I would also add the pages dcyberpunk suggests.

    Here's my humble non-tested opinion...

    #1 - 3 different ads running along the right side looks spammy.

    #2 - You are being conversational and not stirring up my emotions at all. Hit them where it hurts. Tell them how atrocious yellow teeth look, how embarrassing it is, how they hate seeing it in the mirror, how it hurts their chances to get jobs, how it turns off the opposite sex... Emotional response is going to get a click faster, and more consistently. On the same track mention benefits. Not "whiter teeth", but getting the job, getting the new love, loving their smile...

    #3 - If it were me, I'd kill all the ads on the right side, hit them emotionally, review three different products which work a little differently, or are applied differently. Highlight one as the best, and explain your reasons. In the review of each one have a horizontal banner leading to the offer. Make a strong suggestion they may want to try the free trial of more than one product and develop their own opinion.

    I like the overall look. Is there any option to center the upper title for the entire blog and use a different font on it? It would dress up the appearance.

      I agree with getting rid of most of the ads as it screams "affiliate" site.

      A tip for your content (I only looked at the front page) - get rid of the "may" and "likely" and "seems" type words. They're wishy-washy and unconvincing. You want something more like this:

      There are also teeth whitening strips that can be purchased for anywhere from $20 to $50. These strips are an inexpensive option that can lighten your teeth a few shades lighter than the toothpastes but for smokers, coffee drinkers, or anyone else that needs more than just a few shades of whitening a more effective option will be necessary.
      I bolded what I changed. Now, this is just a quick once over as an example. But you need to be more active and convincing in your copy.

      Good luck,
      Tina

      Hi,

      I absolutely agree with this post. KansasDragon is spot on. Try and implement these suggestions and remove some of the ads.

      Great effort so far!

      Great tips.

      I would like to add just one more thing. Add some eye-catching subheadlines and maybe a few bullets. I don't remember the last time I got a conversion from a site without these things.

      The fact is that people hardly spend several minutes reading a ton of text, unless you grab their atteantion first. So powerful sudheadlines and bullets can make the fast skimmers read your content and click your aff link, and fast skimmers will be 90% of your traffic.

    Too many banners. Site looks way too salesy. Test using only text links and I guarantee you'll never use banners again.

    You can add a aweber email optin code maybe so that you can collect emails so that even if they dont take those trials at that particular time , you can sell to them later on.

    I personally like to do the following...


    Have a nice subtle but obvious call to action...sounds like an oxymoron but the point is that you dont want it to look too salesy, but you want it to be obvious enough so people know what to do right away. Peoples attention spans are amazingly short when they visit sites.

    So normally, I try and minimize the outbound affiliate links to my cpa offer so as to not seem too salesy, but still have a very obvious one. This seems to work well.



    The thing with free trials is that you want the visitor to feel as comfortable as possible. People are naturally skeptical, so dont give them a reason to click away by making your pitch too salesy. You really want to list the benefits with some solid (not filler) content and then the call to action. You have to find a way to maximize the click on the call to action, which normally means making everything else very subtle on the lp. Having flashy banners and tons of outbound affiliate links isnt normally the best.


    Just something to think about. Of course, testing of your traffic will be better advice then anybody can ever give!

      3. in the footer add in about us,contact,privacy,t&c,sitemap pages

      4.make your subheader more shocking to grab the users attention

      5.cloak your links with wp link cloaker

      6.Add in the plugin all-in-one-seo
