Gateway Page Update

Update To Gateway Page
Over the last couple of weekends I have been struggling with HTML, FTP and all that jazz. I took the plunge and got hold of a new webhosting site some time ago but simply haven't had time to work my way through the intricacies of it all until now.

Suffice it to say that I have updated my little recruiting site and you can see the fruits of my labour by clicking below:

The update is fairly cosmetic - the only real addition is the inclusion of some testimonials. I'm never sure about these - I don't think they work on me when I see them on other websites (unless it's at some subliminal level). Nevertheless the gurus all swear by them and I doubt if they'll do any harm.

What is probably a more important change is the inclusion of a "tell a friend" facility on my thank you page. You can see this here:

I'm hoping to get some additional signups to the autoresponder this way. I have seen figures of +20% signups being bandied about by people who use this technique. Again, I don't know if this will work or not but it can't do any harm.

The final addition is the inclusion of some Google adsense ads on the "Thank You" page. I certainly wouldn't include these, or any other form of advertising, on my main recruitment page. They just provide an alternative exit route for the punters and I certainly don't want that. However, on the Thank You page I don't really care how they leave - and I make enough money out of people clicking on my adsense banners to pay for my autoresponder every month - so I think it makes sense.

Anyway - what do you think? Is it an improvement on the old site or is it too cluttered?

I still have some work to do before I can fully understand some of the finer points of the webhosting package but, once this is done, I hope to be able to offer new websites - free of ads - to all my distributors. Let me know if you're interested - I will be giving priority to those who already have one of the old sites and I expect there to be about a 3 week turnaround.


Get Well Soon
Many of you have enquired after David Baker-Townsley who recently went into hospital for a major operation.

I'm delighted to advise that, after a pretty lousy fortnight in hospital, David has been released into the wild again and is now back in his natural habitat. He will have some convalescing to do but is hopefully on the mend.

Take it easy David and get well soon.
