Default Your site

The Aloe section of the site is generally quite good. However, the classified ads section seems to be misleading. There is a scrolling text that says something to the effect of submitting to 680,000 directories free, but when you click on it and fill out the form, you have to pay. Did I do something wrong?

Basically, nicely laid out Aloe site, could use more individual pictures, instead of the same picture for several different products. Definitely me being anal, though.

Default change your text to verdana

I noticed you switch from Verdana to Times New Roman midway down the body of text. Use Verdana all the way. It is easier on the eye.

I bet people are gonna tell you to remove your counter. It doesn't help you out at all. If you have a fun site it's a whole different ball game (like mine). Your site is just too serious to have one. The counter will mess it up for you. Your webhost should be able to give you detailed stats on demand.

You need to reword your tag on that image. Too many aloe references in repetition.

There are too many unnecessary metatags. You need to rework them.

You don't want the rest. It will take up your bandwidth unnecessarily.


That MLM banners thing takes away from your site instead of adding to it. If you really want something that is tested and works great, sign up for this instead http://www.hearandplay.com/at.cgi/216621/course.html


---------------------------------
The Issue with
http://www.aloe-emporium.com/ProductList.aspx?catID=5
is that you use the same pics over and over again. Please use one pic for eachproduct. Right now you will lose customers as it is.



This image is too pixelated. I looked at the pic in original size and it looks fine but I think you resized it here on your page. Keep it to teh riginal size or use a photo editor to physically bring it down to the size you need.

I am writing you all this coz you have a great product. I personally grow lots of aloevera myself. I support your business all the way. My instructions seem hard I know but it's coz I believe you can do real well and hope that you greatly succeed. Contact me if you need more info, or help. I will be more than happy to assist you with a lot more tips and marketing ideas that will boost your program. More power to you.
