Posted: Sun May 02, 2004 3:44 am Post subject: One Month Review
My site has been up now for about 5 weeks. I have close to 20 pages of content and am now working on getting links in preperation for the robots. I have 4 links and have e-mailed asking for 15 others and have had an article accepted by 2 article submission sites and have applied to a third. Monetization has not gone into full swing as the traffic is not there yet. Also I have been involved with three forums that are in my site area. Any comments on my site would be appreciated.

Sounds as if you're on the right track. I say keep on doing more of what you're doing.
Here are a couple of ideas.
You could try breaking up some of those long paragraphs into shorter ones and adding some sub-headings to make the article look more interesting. That would help make the articles such as this one http://www.whitetaildeer-management-and-hunting.com/taxidermy.html appear less daunting.
I'm not sure about the content of your main page. On the one hand, it tells people about your experience, which is good, but it's all about you rather than them.
It doesn't fully answer the question: "What's in it for me?" If it works, keep it. However, if you find many people bail out after loooking only at the main page, you could experiment with it, switching most of that material to an "About Us" page and instead tell people what they will find in the site. _________________ Allan Gardyne

Allan,
Thank you for the useful comments. I had opened the homepage on at least two past occassions to change it but couldn't figure out what to do. I have now changed it as well as a few other changes on other pages. Now I am back to the link search.
Thank you very much, you and this forum are a tremendous help.

Hi John,
Good content site.
I would recommend that when you link to one of your affiliates, that you not focus on the name of the Affiliate in the link. Such as the example below where you link to "basspro.com/hunting."
Check out this site to shop for supplies for your favorite gun basspro.com/hunting.
Instead, I would choose "gun" or "supplies" to be the word that you use to highlight your link.
< a href="http://www.AFFILIATEURL.com" target="blank">gun</a >
Hope that's helpful. I would imagine it will increase your click-through rate.
Emily
PS. I have a site about dogs, if you ever want to do a gun-dog type of article, I would be happy to post it on my site with a link back to you. (I don't know if you're familiar with hunting using dogs, just a thought. ) _________________ Shopping for the perfect dog lovers gifts?
