Feel free to contact me with any question or concern.
Q: My website is www.peaksviewcountrymercantilestore.com. I was going to use it on the farm, home, ranch page. You might take a look and see if you have any ideas. Let me know what you think. I will be out most of tomorrow so you can take your time and e-mail me back.
A: From first impression, I would assume this is a site that has information on horses/farming. However, when clicking on the links, it only contains Banner Ads. I would recommend you add informational content on your site based on what you promised on your home page:
"As in bygone days of the country mercantile, our hope is to meet your needs, from human to animal. The country mercantile store used to carry everything from ranchwear to cheesemaking and from fencing supplies to salves and vaccines."
A great site to model is http://www.kitguy.com. All his content is in the middle and all the Banner Ads are in right column. For his store, he is using Tool King's product data feed: http://www.kitguy.com/tk/shop.php?page=S-1960 which displays each product individually. From your site, it would be hard for a customer to find a product base on their needs. For example: customer clicks on the banner, goes to merchant site and might not even find what they wanted to look for in the first place.
I hope these ideas will move you in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any additional question.
Since we're not all blessed with the ability to distinguish what looks good, Peter at Website Magazine is asking us to reconsider the use of pre-structured design. In his article, Rethinking the Use of Pre-Structure Design, he gives a few tips on choosing a template:
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to determine the most used pre-structured design template on the Web. But there are certainly a few that stand out (if not scream out) as popular among template users. Most design template resources provide a rough idea of how many times a template has been downloaded and that figure can provide a guide on what to stay away from if you want the design you choose to be unique. Case in point, popular template RedTie has been downloaded a whopping 172,000 times since first being added to OSWD.org.
However, don’t dismiss a template purely on the number of downloads — it can indicate a platform’s stability. If a template is rarely downloaded but has been available for months or years, that might indicate it’s difficult to use or customize. Also check for active demos because they can provide a glimpse of the customization possibilities. And look for user comments to get an idea of any pre-existing flaws or issues.
ToolKing is partnering with ShopWatchBuy for the month of September to give affiliates an innovative new way to use video using embedABLE™ technology. ShopWatchBuy is giving Tool King a 30 day free trial, so there's no monthly fee for us and you will also get to keep all your sales commission. It's simple to use and works like this:
- Register for a FREE account on ShopWatchBuy and place your Commission-Juntion (CJ) id under the embedABLE™ tab.
- Visit http://www.ShopWatchBuy.com/store/ToolKing and click on the red embedABLE™ link for the product video you want to use.
- Your CJ id is automatically inserted and used for the video players "Buy Now" button - just cut-n-paste the embed code presented to you.
- What's really cool is that once the video's on your site, the affiliate link travels with it! For example, a visitor to your site shares the video from there onto FaceBook - your affiliate link goes with the "buy Now" button.
To get started, visit: http://www.ShopWatchBuy.com/store/ToolKing
