You disabled your back button which is annoying and I don't see how it could help sales. If people want to leave your site then they're gonna leave and you can't stop them.

You seem to be hyping all of this "data entry" BS that if all over CB at the moment. Everyone knows that you don't make money doing data entry. If it was as easy as data entry then more people would be successful with it.

Your site design looks good at first glance.

I'm not trying to discourage you with my remarks about those "data entry" programs, but what they are doing is a straight up lie and I wouldn't be surprised if they were shut down by the FTC. Like I said, good job on your site design and layout.

Hi Jrod, I had a look and your site seems to have a few problems. It's collapsing in both IE6 and Firefox V1.0 and seems to have margin issues in firefox too. Better get your webmaster to have a good look at it. If they don't know why it's doing that, sack them and get someone who knows about CSS box model and browser hacks. Also, there's a lot of white space in the middle, dunno if something is sposed to be there or not.
Other than that, it looks pretty good. Nice images and colour scheme & well laid out. Good luck. :)
P.S I'd lose the counter, unless it shows thousands of visits it just makes it look like no one goes there.

Yes, there is a lot of white space in the middle. And the links on the right and left hand column just look like mini articles - not links.

The key to success is conversion. In a saturated market, one must convert better than the other in order to profit from it.

Person A and Person B sells the same product and they both advertise the same and generate the same traffic to their site. Person B outsells Person A 10 times over. Why? Person B has a better converting LANDING PAGE.

The page surfers land on is CRUCIAL. It must be the page that convinces them to buy the product or service. Not just convince them to stick around. Don't give surfers TOO many confusing options. Make a more single call to action on your landing page.

On your site, I look directly in the center. Why? The column on the left and right do not look like they are links. They looks like mini articles. I'm not there to read fine print, I'm there to find out how I make money from home and lots of it but my attention span and interest is like the majority of others - 8 seconds. 65% of your visitors are those who bail within 0-8 seconds after a brief glance and first impression. 20% will be those who bail when your page does not prove compelling under closer examination. 5% are vistors who attempt to convert but fail somehow (technnical) or would convert if there were an alternate channel...say a phone #. The remaining 1-10% will be those that Convert. I always tweak and fine tune my sites to bring the 65% figure down. In fact, I've been able to spend more in advertising on a product than the supplier merely because my site converts better than theirs. And since it's their product, they have a much higher profit margin than I do, yet I still can afford better ad placment than them because I get more sales.

Put more lucrative sell phrases in the center. Perhpas put your recommended products down the center listed from top rated to lowest. Make it very easy to see right away how much money is made from each survey or data entry.

Most importantly, create landing pages focused on your target audience. If you have ads for paid survey's, make sure the browser LANDS on a page DEDICATED to paid survey's. The same goes for every other product/service.

I have great success when I do things like this. I link directly to Courtrecords.org main page because it converts GREAT. People are SEARCHING for record information. They land on a page where INSTANTLY, they see search fields pertaining to their search querry. Converts like MAD.

Good luck, keep chug a lugin. We all start from somewhere :D
