So sorry, but your site stinks..

5000......

Wow, y'all are so lucky I just wrote 500 characters only to have it wiped out with a misplaced backspace..ha!

Good. God knows what he's doing.

So, here's the short.

Thanks B.J. for your advice. I hope you appreciate the quick response to your advice.

Thanks Beth for your views. A lot more like mine than others.

Thanks Cindy for your opinion. Everyone has one, but do you have anything more than that?

And thanks to anyone else who came here and who will continue to come to mak

Francis,

No one is IMPOSING anything on you. You are certainly free to continue to send ads to your "friends" inbox. If you are looking to increase sales, it is truly ineffective, but you are certainly free to do as you please. In spite of it being bad manners, I continue to get at least one spammy ad in my Apsense inbox everyday.

The beauty of social networks is the ability that we have to get to know each other. It is a well known fact that people will do business with people that

- I know this is the page you are referring to.... that I just saw today due to Firefox and IE differences.

Regardless of what site you were commenting about...some of what you said was phrased in
a way that I dont' see as constructive criticism... but a little too "harsh" after hearing you

Thus his Title... only he has a sub title that must have been there earlier? or did he just change tha

My last attempt on this Beth,

IF you are looking at the MAIN page of the site then you are OFF BASE.
Agreed the text at the bottom of that one could use some space in it as well.

BUT that is NOT I repeat NOT the page under discussion.

Well Beth you are true to form

As usual you miss quote and leave out the vital words "giving a first impression"

This does not say he does not know what he is doing.
But its the "First Impression" that counts as we all well know.

Go to that same page today and for the very fist time and the "first impression" is good and will get people to want to look further.

Hi Bj... seems we cross posted and may have criss crossed communications as usual!

But... all is well right?

Beth

Kindly point out exactly what is hard to take in the advice given about the website.


Bj... do I have to?

ok....

I wouldn't have phrased it like this: "Who wants to lear from someone that is giving a first
impression of not knowing what they are doing?"

You're saying Francis, you don't know what you're doing... it is hard to hear from a 'contact/friend' after being told to keep your spam mails out of my inbox!

So.... let's analyze this. You replied to him with by saying you sent me spam?

Hi Beth

If you are looking at the main site then you are definatly way off base.
it is a sub section of the site that was being discussed. And it has been changed at least twice since I first looked at it with vast improvement.

You may be interested to note that the first improvements were made prior to this post being made ergo my previous comment on the pourpose of this thread.

Yes even though the system being offered does not fit my personal portfolio and despite the petty a

Hi Bj....

I wasn't sure I wanted to join in on this but it had a strange appeal for me and the overall topic just got into my blood and the fingers started typing. What can I say?

Yes. Bj. You are a professional. You made valid but fairly cutting 'remarks' from my point of view.

So... I was trying to go the between route. Seems the pages that I've seen are diffiernt that the one you looked at... I have viewed it in Firefox where it didn't show up at all and I emailed Francis about that.

and

Hi Francis...

Well, I'm reading the whole thread and came across this that you wrote:

I will continue to impart to anyone who will hear me. Your in- box is only as available as you make it. I have noticed, as you must notice, your advertisement is attached to each and evey one of your messages as a signature. In that signature is an offer. An offer that everyone receives when you send a message or post a blog (with or without and ad).

That sig link is something that I and others fought for!

Hi again beth

you are not looking at the same site I looked at when I made those comments.

Although Francis faile to mention it until I did he made a lot of changes that improved the look considerably, so your remarks about my comments are not valid.

This is a typical "lets get a fight going to get me some sympathy and attention" thread.

Very well orchestrated I have to admit.

Hi Beth,

So am i to take it that my advice on the site was any less professional than
Teodors would be???

Some of what Bj said is actually good advice for any website. But do you want to apply those changes to yours?

Your web site needs some major clean up work. *** No ... not Major... your site looks Classic and like the Internet used to look like.... txt based! Some peole arent intimidated by this... but it is a strain on the eyes. if you can reduce the text... you gain readability and visitors stay longer and are more likely to click

The Blurb is too long and crowded.... *** maybe yes maybe no

Hi Francis...

well I didn't know this thread was here... and when I mailed my message to you... it went to Bj
by accident...

He will also give you a professioanl assessment

And as far as the tops go, I gues noone here actually feels this topic is important...go figure..

another round of hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

I personally love these types of forum topics as they deliver the flaxon from the wheat. Have you had your Wheaties today?

At this point I realize that a top don't mean nothing when what you see at the top of the newly popular blog is list an entry for something like so what makes you happy? and my dear baby had another birthday. (See the bottom of this comment to see the top three) I personally feel those blogs belong on MySpace or something..not here. See? A difference of opinion AGAIN, imagine that.

I'm going to tell you a little more about myself. I try to do things that are more "a" typical than typical

BTW,
You still only have one Top.


Perhaps we could try a test. As I tap this it has had 161 hits

Perhpas if the readers now think that what has been said they WOULD agree with,
you know the RIGHT SIDE OF THAT FENCE> MINE
you may get it topped.

Just a thought, My head has been out of the sand for a bit so I am thinking more clearly now.

Cindy

Francis, your right... we are on opposite side of the fence.
I just happen to be on the side that has manners attatched.
I teach a basic Skype class and that is the number one bit of info that
I try to repeat over and over and over, "text before calling."
Anything wlse is just rude.

I wouldn't think of dropping in on someone without calling first,
I hate unexpected company. With all of the critters that I have it takes a bit to get the house in shape.
It is just good manners.

Somehow I don't think you are going to have much long term success or even short term success. Friends don't just go round 'topping' something becuase it was written by a friend! A 'friend' will offer advice and tell you where you're going wrong so that you can improve and make it better.

It seems to me that is exactly what Bj did. And considering you got that advice after sending a spam message to his inbox, I think you should consider yourself very lucky to have such a 'friend'.

I'd much rat
