    Hi Everyone,

    I am quite new to affiliate marketing and have recently completed my first website, I am currently working on SEO through link exchanges and article writing. However, I would appreciate it if you could take a look at my website before I embark on the promotion of it. My website is www.beautysolutionsreview.com.

    Many Thanks.

    Get rid of the frame - use the index_001.htm as your main index file without the frame.

    I would also rename all your html pages so the links are more descriptive than index_003.html etc. this will help your SEO / google placement
    Add a Privacy Policy
    Maybe hide your links in a jump script or links.php etc so that google dont penalise you for linking to a Paid on Results Link.
    Join a few more networks to get some more products - You dont have a very impressive list of products in each category. If you are planning to PPC and these are popular, well selected products then you will probably be OK. If you want repeat visitors and natural organic traffic then you need to increase your product line a bit.

    there are some very good resources on this forum for databases / scripts to manage the products on this type of site. Have a dig around.

    Apart from that not a bad looking first go. Good luck and welcome to the forum / business!

    Hi,

    Sorry I have no idea why this is happening

    The site does appear when I click www.beautysolutionsreview.com.

    I will try and identify the problem ASAP.

    Thanks.

    Nope, still get error, even tried your site though google and get the same, you must be seeing the cached version. The error cannot find your index.html

    Working ok for me. Congrats on getting your first affiliate site beyond the drawing board stage. First impressions are along the lines of the others - no need to have the frames - you can easily centre the page without frames by using the following css:

    ---------------------------------------------

    body {
    text-align:center;
    }

    #wrapper {
    width:970px; (or whatever your overall page width is)
    margin:0px auto;
    text-align:left;
    }

    in your html add a wrapper div around all your content:
    HTML Code:
    <div id='wrapper'>
    all your page content goes within here
    </div>
    ----------------------------------------------

    You could slim your pages down a lot if you put all the css in a seperate stylesheet as you've had to reapeat lots of the same styling to each div.

    Think the 'Beauty Solutions Review' text on the photo in the top right only obscures what is a good image and the text would be better placed under the main title as a strapline.

    I also feel that the dark grey lines dividing the page are a bit heavy handed and could either be a much lighter grey or removed altogether. I don't think you'd need them if you added a bigger margin/more paddng to the content area.

    On the make up ranges it took me a while to realise I had to click on the image for more info - a text link or button leading to the range would be clearer.

    Hope some of this helps, best of luck with it.

    really bad use of frames... skip them completely, surely being about beauty it should be more colourful?, nice copy writing though

    Sideways scrolling. Big no no in my book.

    Agree with previous that you should ditch the frames.

    Hi,

    I agree with most the comments already, especially Savespy with regards the image, the text ruins it imho, would look 100 times better with smaller text running horizontally down the right side of the pic.

    Mark.

    Agree with the design stuff the others have said.

    In this sector it's worth looking at the high ticket branded stuff as well as niche 'solutions' like acne or whatever.

    Beauty Expert, BuyCosmetics do the former, there are a lot of pharmacy sites that do the latter. If you can get email addresses somehow, these products also have v high repeat purchase patterns. You should be getting 10% or more in the basic tier of any programme worth its salt.

    (FYI I used tuo run a skincare site and know far too much about the sector )
