Third and Final

**bmarone** · Nov 29th, 2012, 02:54 PM

I've been away from the forum for a while now while working on my blog and email opt-in form. I think this time I've finally done it. Here is the new and improved blog/email form:

Marone's Fitness Blog -

Any feedback would be great. I was also unsure of the text that I placed on the opt-in form. Any suggestions? I have the form set as fade-in, so it may take a few seconds until it appears on the screen.

Thanks so much for the advice.

Sincerely,
Brandon

Remove the links from your footer that give credit to the theme authors... both links are dead and will cost you with SEO.

If you are going to use a pop-up email squeeze, put a delay on it... like 30 seconds. You are asking me to opt in and I haven't even had a look at your site. Better to get my interest a bit before starting to ask me for things.

Also do some research on how people read on the web. You want very short paragraphs, and scannable articles. Right now you just have a bunch of blocks of text, no one will read them.

You're going to have to elaborate a little on that. What exactly do you mean?

Also, what links are you talking about on the footer?

scroll down to the VERY bottom of your page, there are 2 links on the right hand side: "ProSense theme created by Dosh Dosh and The Wrong Advices. "

I should have mentioned before that seo will not be my primary method of gaining traffic to my site and, eventually, products. Forum partnerships, video, clickbank, ebay, etc., will be my main methods of gaining exposure.
