The page looks good. The trick is always, how do you plan to get targeted traffic to it. You can use google adwords and craigslist is probably another good source.

Hey William... Just found your reply... Could you check again? Is it still doing it?

Thans Bill. I will have to check it out on firefox. I use ie and all is good. Have a great day and thanks for the input!

I'd try just having a main call to action and then the opt-in box. I think all the pictures might overwhelm your prospect.

A quick call to action + opt in shows the reader exactly what to do with no room for confusion.

Hope to help!

Bill,

I tried opening my website www.SeekHomesOnline.com with Firefox version 3.0.7 which just updated in the last couple days. It seems to work fine. What version do you have?

Thanks,

Eric Foster

P.S. I also contact my website host to see if they are aware of any issues. Waiting to hear back... Anyone else have any problems with formatting?

I used Go Daddy to register the url name. www.Webstarts.com for the website hosting. (it is the nicest and easiest I have found). And iContact for my form.

You are definitely on the right track. Great market. I have a site targeting a very similar market (exactly the same market actually) in Houston. I get over 1000 unique visitors per month at the moment and haven't touched the site in about 6 months.

You need to put a little relish on the sales message. Remember speak to their problems and provide a solution. They have to feel you understand their problem (bad credit, tight finance market, self employed) and that you are able to provide a solution (no credit check, easy qualification) whatever the benefits are to make it compelling enough to trade their info for a peek behind the curtain.

Not sure your business model but I know guys that are crushing it right now in the owner finance rent to own arena.

I would put your top three cities in the title tag rather than just oregon. Something like Beaverton | Portland | Hillsboro Rent To Own Homes.

Hi Group,

Simple is better. The more "sensitive" info you require from your new "walk in" customer the less likely they'll be willing to continue the conversation.

When a person walks into a restaurant does the host ask name, phone, city, state, zip, kids first names??

No...here's the progression in the clients head:

Hm...site looks nice. Whats this about. (they read your copy) mmm, food smells good.

Looks clean, simple...they take care of the restaurant and so it must be safe (appearance and appeal is important)

After I take in the 3-10 seconds of "first impression" then see what your about...

THEN the host greets them:

Hello (how can i help you) "fill in your first name"

How can we help you in the future "fillin your phone or email"

You then begin the hard task for converting them from "new clients" into trusting customers using your autoresponders, stories, atmosphere and experience in the future AFTER you have captured their name and email.

They may never come back or become a "fan" of your company, but first impressions mean everything.

check out my squeeze pages to see what you think. Clean, simple, call to action, and "reward" for giving me their names and email.

Yes, I do know that I need to make the splash on "page1" of my site.

Good looking site. A couple of tips.

1) Ask for less fields - you will get more opt-ins.

2) Put exit popup on your site so people that don't fill out the form get prompted one last time. "Hey wait fill in the information and get this free report...blah blah" - they are leaving anyway so you might as well capture them.
