INTERNET MARKETING

Hey guys you might remember one of my older threads on which domain to use. I decided to go with Welcome to Explosive Seduction! as I felt it was more relevant. So I made the website using XSitePro and I feel it's ok/decent for my first website. I tried to make it as "clean" as possible while giving it a "Cool Vibe" once you get to the page.

Now I need your opinions on visuals.

Do you think my site looks good? What do you think of the banner? The colors etc..thank you for your time!

Welcome to Explosive Seduction!

*Edit*

After I submitted this thread, it changed my domains to the Title of the homepage...so just to let you know my real domain is (Explosive Seduction).com

Thanks

*Edit Again*

Made text bigger on website

Not bad IMO. You might want to slightly increase the size of the items in the sidebars. Also, get yourself an AR on the page to give away something and capture some names.

Agreed. The Fonts on the right, left and the bullets at the bottom are way too small. Also, and this is just contructive criticism, the site is very text intensive and the black background makes it hard to read (at least for me). I like the idea and how you inserted your links - well done.

autoresponder - like aweber or get response.

Start getting names and building a list.

You'll be able to email them with new information, and sell related products.

Honestly, if this is for guys you may be missing the boat.
In my opinion you want girls on there! Lots of them with guys having Great success.

If I were in the market I wouldn't stay around because it looks "alone".
You want me to read then you best have some eye candy on there.
Where are your dates at? I want to see you with that girl you picked up last night.
I hope you are ugly too! If so that leaves hope for me!

Not even 1 girl on there.........hmmmm.........not interested.
Now here are some girls! That's what I want!

Just saying, if I were looking for the right person to tell me how to pick up girls I'm not sure purple/pink text is going to appeal to my libido. That would be more along the lines of wanting to pick up guys

I say add some eye-candy.

Best of Luck!

The text is definitely better than your first showing. A optin form on the side is a must have IMHO. Also, I think you should test out using graphics and pictures in with your articles.

You might want to know that white type against a black background has proven time and again to decrease conversions by a lot. Good luck!

Great website. You might want to test a white background and see which one converts the best.

Honestly -- I think your site is just OK. But please don't take my comments personally. :-) It needs more work, but definitely a good start. Change the text to black and the background to white. It's hard to read the text. It really does look like a first site, though, to me. As such, great job! But listen to everyone's advice.

Also, though I think you're asking more for a critique about the web design itself, you should do some proofreading if you want to sell people. For example, "How to Approach a Women" -- your article titled as such uses this phrase throughout. Is this a commonly searched for phrase that you are targeting or just a mistake? I would change it to "woman" either way, because one look at that and as a normal viewer of your site I'm going to hit the "back" button immediately. I noticed numerous other spelling and grammatical errors within the same article ("you know" for "you now" and "Watch me be show them a good").

As such, it's hard for me to get past that if I want to take you as an authority on something, even if it's just a product you're trying to recommend me. :-)

Good luck!

First off, congratulation for creating your first website. Its not bad but def. needs some tweaking. Your not gonna nail everything right on your first website. But like said above, you MUST have an opt. in form for your autoresponder. If you dont get there email address before they leave the site you have lost them for good.

I agree there needs to be more pictures also with hott females. And maybe have the pictures be inbedded links to an affiliate product.

Also when someone clicks on your links, have the new webpage open in a new browser. Xsitepro offers that feature. that way your website still remains loaded on there browser rather then dissapearing like it does now.

So just make some changes and make the website "pop" some more and youll be good to go. You already got the hard part out of the way. Good luck!!!

  You need some attraction on your site.
  
  Get some pictures of you and some girls.

As soon as I land on a website with a black background and light colored text, I hit the back button.

I value my eyes too much to put that kind of strain on them. But that's just me!

  My opinion is to get more eye candy, but this can be a two birds with one stone.
  
  -Research a few internet dating sites that pay affiliates and use their ads.
  -Write reviews on a few internet dating sites and include affiliate links.
  -Get a profile on internet dating sites and use them to market your site.
  
  +1 on the interactive element, I dont have a suggestion to help you there, but it is missing.
  
  How are you capturing email addresses to build your list?
  
  You have probably already thought of all these things, I'm just throwing out ideas

  Thank you all for your feedback! =)
  
  I have read them all and I agree about a hundred percent. Yes there might be a few grammar errors, however at the moment I was just too excited to check every single article very thoroughly. I will re-read them once again and give them a final edit.
  
  I will also experiment with a few more colors, I will try to make it easier on the eyes. Since it was my first website, I am still satisfied with the positive feedback I've gotten. Makes me feel like I am not too far off =)
  
  Thank you everybody and I will see about adding more pictures. I don't want the reader to get distracted too much. However I will keep tweaking until I get consistent positive feedback! Thank you everybody!
  
  p.s: It's not getting much views other than a couple forums where I asked for there opinion as well. I am going to do some on-page & off-page SEO once the Articles and the Design are complete. I don't want customers coming to my page while it's not looking at it's best.
  
  Also, as for the Auto-Responder...I was thinking about getting one since that's another great quick income stream. However, I feel I should get that once my content and design are up to par. Once that's done I will add the A.R so I don't waste money on the monthly fee =)
  
  Thank you again everybody!
  
  Please anybody else don't hesitate to tell me the "bads" so I can improve it even more. Take Care!

  There's always one that's got to be different, isn't there? I'm afraid it's me.
  
  Everyone else says the content is ok. I disagree.
  
  The home page is boring!
  
  I've set up this website to help any guy that has trouble with women and is looking to improve their success at attracting women
  
  I don't care why you set up the page. What can you do for me? (Assuming i'm a guy)
  
  The text is laborious and boring. No-one's going to read it. Make it short, to the point and use bullet points. What's this website about? Why am I here? What are you going to tell me? What can you do for me?
  
  As others said, use some pics. I say endlessly (to anyone that will listen, that is) that there's a bit of the child left in us all - left from the days when all our books had pictures.
  
  People don't want to and won't read a website UNLESS something about it engages their attention and makes them WANT to read.
  
  Your page has to sell itself at a single glance.
  
  Very often my students ask me.....
  
  Aha - so you have professional expertise. Say so - on the front page. Don't be shy. Tell me why I should listen to YOU.
  
  Thanks

Great website.....
Like the rest of the crew, the black background strains my eyes. Who are you and why should I listen to you? I guess a sentence or two about your experiences and expertise would build your credibility. The second and third paragraphs both start with "first off":confused:
