Review My New Affiliate Site Please

15 replies
I've recently built a new affiliate site promoting some stock trading courses (which I have bought myself and use as I do trading as well as IM and the courses are excellent)

http://www.topdogtrading.info/

I would welcome any comments or suggestions for improvement

thanks

        Plain and simple is just fine for a review site so I would ignore the advice on pumping up the graphics. You want the focus on the review, not on how pretty the site is.

        My suggestions for now would be to have the content proofed and edited as there are quite a few mistakes in the copy. That has a tendency to turn people off from the message.

        I believe that your reviews need more "oomph". This is difficult to fully explain but I just didn't find them to be compelling. Your goal is to get people to buy these products so you have to get them emotionally invested somehow.

        You say in your OP that you do trading and the products really are helpful then tell your readers that - tell the story of what the products have actually done for you. Get some enthusiasm in there because if you aren't enthusiastic about the products, your readers won't be either.

        Good luck,
        Tina

            I'll pick apart a paragraph to show you what I mean.

            The big difference that you will find with these courses is that the instructor, Barry Burns, explains everything, in detail, in a slow logical maner such that if you watch the videos and listen to the commentry you cannot fail to get a deep understanding of what is happening on the charts, and what is more important what you, the trader, should be doing, buying, selling, taking profits, stopping out or just doing nothing and being patient and waitting for a good trade to setup.
            #1 - 3 spelling errors that I bolded
            #2 - One sentence that is 85 words long!

            My quickie redo:
            Most trading courses are confusing - full of inside jargon and just plain hard to understand.

            Not so with Barry's courses.

            The man has a knack for laying everything out in a logical, step-by-step manner. By the time you've finished the videos, you will have a deep understanding of just how the market works.

            More importantly, you will know what you need to be doing. Whether it is time to sell, time to buy or time to sit back and be patient - all the things you need to know to become a successful trader are covered.
            HTH,
            Tina

              thanks for the analysis, I see what you mean!

              spelling is not my strongest point, I need to use the built in spell checker in wordpress more often

              I've corrected the spelling errors and managed to increase the font size, finding the right parameter in the css file can be tricky sometimes

              I'm going to work on the structure and grammer as an ongoing process

            She might mean things like this:

            They offer a number of trading educational products that are designed to teach you how to trade like a professional, all of the courses are downloaded onto your PC so you can watch, read and listen to them over and over again until the trading strategies become second nature.

            This is a big long run on sentence tha tmight leave a reader feeling tired (like I was) after reading it.

            The information on your page seems to be pretty solid, but it is a very difficult page to read and jumps around instead of being focused on getting people to sign up for the free 5 day course.

            It might help to increase your font size a bit and to adjust your line spacing so the lines are not so crowded together. It might aslo help readiblity to have some more white space in the copy.

            It might also help to have a good sized button that goes to TopDog instead of just the text link.

            If you could arrange your page so that more of your copy is below the fold, so that the top part is more concentrated on getting the signup, that might help too.

              thanks for the suggestions, the main focus of the site is actually to get people to sign up for the free course as the vendor then follows up with them to close the sale, hopefully the big banner should do that

    I'm with Tina on this one. You don't need major graphics. In fact too much could make it worse. Concentrate on what's important and focus on the content.

    Great site! It looks like you know what you're doing. The title and domain match along with the keywords that you want to target. Are you going to add wordpress robot to this site? Great job!
