Default Will you buy my product? Site Review

Hi,
Please review my website, I didn't want to make a common website but a kind of so called "Mini Site" with only one page to focus people reading and take action for buying my product with a killer copywriting.

Could you review my site please and tell me if it really attract visitors to take action if of course I was advertising in this niche.

P.S.: ORDER BUTTON HAS BEEN DISABLE AS IT'S FOR REVIEW

PLEASE READ MY SIGNATURE FOR LINK TO WEBSITE

I found it slow loading too. . I left it to load and came back to it.

Not killer copywriting - In fact its the same old
why its not good to search the web - why not to buy a hard copy. why you should buy...etc etc. But very little about the book, nothing to make the user say "yes I want this". It looks to me like a copy of hundreds of other EBook sites except yours is extremely slow loading. I suspect you could use the content to create a website and get more from adsense revenue. Unless of course the content, maps, etc are copyright protected.

Steve. I think it needs more work.

For me it's not slow, it's not coming up at all. I get a "Page Not Found". Maybe Steve's working on something?

I managed to get it again. I noticed a few changes,
I think the image of one of the pages disapeared, and that I thought was one of the better selling points, I think giving the viewer more glimpses of the content of the Ebook would be a good selling point.

A lot of the old hat 'Why you should' stuff disapeared. . That I think is good. I do still feel a bit negative about the one page 'super sell' format though. Even in terms of creating traffic.
One page websites do tend to need extra help getting traffic. more pages = more search traffic, more title pages, more keyword spread, more link possibilities etc.

I hope someone else manages to view the site. I feel I might just be a little to negative on this format to be able to be entirely positive concerning the right changes for more success. I do dislike being negative.

I Think it would als be usefull to locate more incentive for inbound links (affiliate commissions etc) lots of traffic sells more.

Thanks for your helpful advices, as you can see I've change upon your advices, remove "why you should..." add the image of page sample, I will also add in the next day 1 page for affiliates, 1 page for partners, contact, private policies..

steveteva, Steve, It is not easy to get the exactly right combination that sells.

Here I run around three thousand pages and they are in seperate blocks of up to a hundred pages. Each block is different, I constantly experiment. I might have a different font size on 300 pages, and at the end of three months or whatever I can look back at user acceptance, traffic, even adsense results to see if the changed pages have any obvious results change. . I have a complex system here, and cun run several thousand variations on seperate pages at any time (good learning tool)

I can change the wording on a hundred or so pages and sit back and look at any diferences that occur. and still have several thousand similar pages as a base comparison.

I think I have 103 current design variations running at the moment. sometimes users do not like what we ad for search engines. for example search engines love excess words - users hate excess words. but search engine might send 50 extra visitors. . but users might not click on what you want 60 times. so sometimes it is better to not give the user what he wants for the extra traffic.
Unfortunately unless you have a few thousand varying pages there is no real way to compare results other than just guess. You can liook at other succesful sdites but often this does not give you feedback on which of the few hundred variables is causing the success..

Getting everything as right as you can get it, is important as you will be competing with the best in the world. everyone is out there selling something.

Add a little humour. . It has great user response.
I will look back in a few days to see how you are going.

Someone with luck might offer you some coding advise to help you cut down on loading problems.

If you can master the skill required to sell an Ebook, you should be sitting pretty.

First thing is to make sure the page loads, nobody can read it if it doesn't show up in the readers browser -- promptly.

The copy is a little better, but still leaves something to be desired. The reader doesn't get the idea this is information they couldn't get from the staff at the hotel, or any $7.95 guide. In other words, it still looks like commonly available generic tourist trap stuff, given a premium price.

I doubt it is a failing of the copywriting. My guess is there's a misconception about what people want from a guide book they are paying 200%-300% more for.

No Sense of Value
First off, not everybody is the same. For guidebooks, you want to break it out into segments: Like Adventure Seekers, Hedonists, A Family Learning vacation. That's a problem with "cheap" guidebooks, they're one-size-fits-all.

Next, you index it based around these segments so entries are easy to find. ...easier to find than other guidebooks. And rate the entries for service, value for the money, and so on. Don't just put on a generic three or four stars, explain what they mean.

Then, when you have something interesting for the copywriter to write about, you get good copy.
  • The 'blacklisted' Tahiti hedonists from Japan have known about for years, but your travel agent will never tell you about.
  • 23 Must-see sites which make for a learning experience your child will remember for a lifetime.
  • Rated by the experts. We know every overpriced ripoff and who gives exellent service for the money.
  • How to tell when your cab driver is running up the fare meter. (This one tip alone can pay for the book twice over).

Copywriting isn't magic. The only thing copywiriting can do is put your best foot forward. The very best thing to do is write the copy before building the product. If you can't find a way to make the product at least as exciting as the copy, then don't create it. But not having read the book, it's not possible to say for sure.

One thing which is for sure is a saying copywriters have: The quickest way to fail is have great copywriting for a not-so-great product or service.

Steve,

I would be recalcitrant in offering my email address to any form that did not include at least a link to a sort of Privacy Policy.

You're right, but I can promise you I've never sent any emails for spam of sold datas. Honestly I don't even know how many subscriber I have maybe over thousand since I've launch my website. They are free to unsubscribe too anytime.

This wasn't the subject of my post by I wanted to clarify your comments.

Please review my website and tell me more about what do you think.
