Who has a Website & Is it worth it?

[John G]

Do you do your website designing yourself smitch - they look really good - I think you could earn more money doing web design than sublimation.
Love the design on:

and the front page on:
http://www.christiandating.me.uk/


If you do design yourself do you use dreamweaver and if so do you use templates/CSS or layers - i'm self taught with layers but my sites are pretty basic.

Cheers John

it's something my designer drew up
he asked what kind of stuff i did and made the things up digitally

might be an idea to run a spell checker on the site - workwear not workware(as in cookware) as you have on at the moment

The two pages can be identical in content, but have different names. Set up two ads in Adwords - one has the first set of keywords and points to www.whatever.com/page1.htm and the second campaign has a different set of keywords and points to www.whatever.com/page2.htm. You need not have the full URL displayed in your ads. Then see which gets the most clicks for the least money.

You can do the same thing with different ad content (but the same keywords), or with different landing pages. See what works best, and keep tweaking to get the best out of your budget.

Thats interesting, are you suffering from Bounce Rate though? are the landing pages your actual site or re-directs? What content do you have there to satisfy googles appetite that your not trying to scam it?

"I currently spend £12 a day on Google Adwords, but I was spending £15-20 a day on ebay fees for the same turnover so Adwords is a better deal in the long run. "

Yes but your eBay fees were from actual sales yes/no? To have that amount of fees per day on ebay means your shifting some gear, if your selling items for say £10, then your shifting around 15-20 items at that price = roughly 99pence per £10. How does that equal google adwords which are merely click-through's to your site? Was the google sales conversion rate and ROI better than eBay's actual sales?

To me your making £150-200 per day on the example ive shown. surely your main site wasnt doing that via Adwords click-through and sales conversions? If so thats like a 100% strike rate, unheard of. what are your keywords and prices?

curious thats all?

cheers

First impressions mate - quick, clean, professional and easy to navigate .................. just so you know, the first thing I clicked on was 'freebies'!

Just a question though mate - are the designs on the t-shirts your own? I only ask as there is no watermark on them or anything to protect them from those that steal ............... and I know you may think that the design is too small to be reproduced for a t-shirt but it's big enough for a keyring!

Out of interest, were xpress ok with you using their images? It's a good idea.

Oh, and I like the 'talk to us telephatically, or send us a message below' nice touch ............. well done you.

thanks
t-shirts designs are from different artist. all agreed with them and I don't hold copyrights but have permission to use them. well... you're right, I though they're to small to copy.. but maybe you're right with watermakrs (?)
