Seems like everybody I ask has a different opinion. I did have a nice neutral colored background with black text easily visible and somebody on another forum about a month ago told me I needed a better color scheme and recommended that one. I used to get a few emails and comments on other message boards about my horrible colors so I figured that person knew what he was talking about and changed to this color scheme. I haven't had any more adverse comments on the color scheme since I changed it. Now you say its horrible. Not that I want to disparage your comments in any way, but what to do when one gets so many conflicting
viewpoints?

Second...If your suspects/protential customers have to scroll for more than a page and a half they probably won't stick around to read it all. <This is something I am trying to fix within my site right now, and it's not easy to do. I like words.>

Well, I agreed with you on that one too and I even raised the point in Anthony Blake's marketing forum that if there was anything I hated was to have to scroll down through a hundred "pages" or views and
still get little or no information at all I got turned off real quick. What I got back was a lot of comments saying that if I wanted to get sales that was the way to do it. Never can get too much explanation on a site they said. Claimed those long boring pages that said absolutely nothing at all worth saying was the way to go. I'm more with you on that than I was with their comments but what a difference in opinions between professional marketers. WOW!

Add some graphics...and not one's that don't load like the one on the very bottom.

Had some nice ones on there and got chided a lot for those too.

There is error's on the page within the coding,[/quote]That don't surprise me much. I had a friend do the frames thing for me and I can't make heads nor tails of the frames bit. Some say frames are pure poison to the search engines but I don't know if that's true or not.

it's not appealing or welcoming, extremely bright, text laden and boring.

That may be because you aren't deeply in debt and needing help.

That's just the very first page. I haven't ventured to any of the other pages.

I'm sure you will find them even more boring. Lots of text and few if any colors or graphics.

I'll apologize now, because I did take a rather blunt view point on this site, and not everyone likes that.

I don't mind that at all.

But...all the promotion in the world is not going to get browsers to be customers if they don't want to stick around.

One of the major problems I may be facing is fear. First of all, zillions of people have been ripped off by credit repair companies. I'm not a credit repair company at all but I have to live with that shadow like it or not. Another fear that is all pervasive in the minds of most is the apparent power wielded by collection agencies and the courts,
none of which I fear and teach that others shouldn't either. While there is no need to fear most judgments and even less to fear the collection agencies it is difficult to remove that inate fear and distrust in the minds of the people. Fear is a terrible thing indeed.
I have maybe 50 to 75 webpages full of the names, addresses and phone numbers, even websites and telephone numbers of many and at the top of each page I ask people to email me and tell me why they are hunting for collection agencies. I get a few people who do answer and send me emails and the horror stories they tell are almost unbelieveable. Type in the name of a collection agency and you are likely to find one or more of my webpages.

It sounds like you are working really hard to promote your site

I'm like the little maggot. I'm in dead earnest. (LOL)

but I'd take a step back and look at the site itself.

I do that a lot. I just don't seem to have the perspective to do that. Maybe its because I am too close to the situation to do that objectively or correctly. I sure do appreciate your comments and I don't necessarily disagree with any of them. I sure do get a lot of conflicting reports however.
Just a thought. ;)[/quote]
