Hi,

This is my first try at affiliate marketing

my website is:
http://www.closetohotel.com

But I mainly promote desitnation pages such as:
France
http://www.closetohotel.com/france.html

Idea of the website is to easily and quickly find hotels close to main attractions. with links to online guides and travel books/maps

Can you please review and give me your feedback on the site

Thanks!

Reply with quote

nice job on the concept of your site...but I do have a few recommendations for the home page of your site to increase sales.

-Above the fold your site looks rather empty, make the site itself smaller horizontally (770 pixels is recommended)

-The adsense is pushed so far off the page it is barely readable.

-The blanks to fill in when people look for hotels should be right next to the fill in dots for ease of use and so people know they go together.

-red is a power color and often associated with "cheap" ...is that your target market, the budget traveler?

-the travel products box in the upper right is out of sight, out of mind...better to incorporate it more in the page or get rid of it altogether.

hope that helps, keep up the good work, dom

Azur hi,

There are 3 things any site should convey to a visitor

Where Is the visitor
What can the visitor do here
Why should the visitor do ANYTHING

If it was not for you TINY tagline - Find Hotels By Location. As a visitor - I would be lost as to where I was exactly - What information I could find here - and now that I'm here - why should I do anything.

Maybe include in a short description / introduction of what your site is about and how it may help me in my search for a hotel.

Why not take a look around http://www.roamfree.com/ for ideas and inspiration on how others present their accommodation options to their visitor.
