Hi,

This is my site, any feedback would be great, especially regarding maybe making the homepage a bit more interesting.

The site is www.startingwithadollar.com

Cheers,

Jonathan

Well, it would be a great idea, if it wasn't pulled off of other past ideas.

If you wanted to improve the site, i'd do a few things.

1. On the homepage, help people know what the site is about. I've got to go to deep to figure out what is going on.

2. Shrink the chart, and then put info around it and put it off to the side.

3. Perhaps add a "newest" link that highlights who bought the last link and some information on their company.

4. Kill the background. Text overlaying that is not attractive.

5. Find a better way to present the links, so people might actually visit some of them. And more importantly, make them readable. That's always a nice start.

6. Post a blog every day, don't always make it about your site.

7. Come up with a good reason to have people buy links. What do want to do with your life if you don't need a house and you start a biz? What kind of biz? Maybe donate a % to a nice charity. All that kind of good stuff.

Outside of those small items, I think you're on your way, and best of luck to you. Some ideas to help you promote your site can be found at somewhere like Gorilla marketing online, and other free marketing resources.

What is your site about? Don't expect folks to stay and look around trying to figure out where they have landed. The home page is practically devoid of any text. Put up some explanatory text; would help your visitors as well as help get you more traffic. Maybe put the answer to the first question in your FAQ on the home page with appropriate modifications.

Any interesting site would have an interesting logo for a start. Also why is the background in the inner pages missing from the home page?

Hi Sands,

Thanks for your comments.

I am currently in the process of changing all pages to have a white background, i just havnt got round to completing this yet. I will probably do it today.

I was delayed a bit yesterday as I sold another link so I had to stop my other updates on the site to upload the new link.

Also, I am intending to put a bit of text on the homepage saying what the site is about, i just havnt got round to it yet.

i am considering a logo, but for the time being I think the site name in green is fine for now. the only reason i didnt do a logo to start with was because my web design knowledge was pretty limited when i started the site, so i just went with big coloured text to start with.

I am trying to think of ways to make the homepage more interesting so im sure there will be changes to it at some point soon.

Cheers,

Jonathan

I have made some alterations to my site.

Hopefully it looks a bit slicker now. Also i intend to make my blog more interesting. Sold another link a couple of days ago so the momentum is slowly building.

My attenntion wasn't drawn first to the links. I was confused when I landed on the page but I think it will look good once the links start to fill up the page!

Thanks for your words of encouragement.

I have just realised i forgot to change the code on the buy page since i re-uploadedto $11 but i hope this didnt put anyone off buying a link.

I had a look at your site by the way, pretty impressive, I hope it works out for you, im sure it will!
