**WD-NYC Designer** · 09-08-2007, 05:47 AM

Please take a look at our website http://www.newwaylinks.com/
If you can read the content and let me know if everything is understandable and also is it eye friendly layout, will appreciate any comments or suggestion.

Hi,

All the text written there are readable, however, your buy.com affiliate link is coming between the text. I mean, since you are selling your services there on site, I suggest you to put your affiliate link back at the footer of page or make it small so that visitor read text instead of affiliate link.
I will also give your site more business.

Thanks.

A few remarks:

1 -- It is quite hard to focus on the main content, because those Ads are made of too attractive, contrasting elements.

2 -- There is simply too much text used to get the message across. This is made to be read, not scan.

3 -- You should use a "sans serif" font, this will make the text lighter.

4 -- your index page must be a teaser, the real content is to be found further.

Hope this helps... Only my 5-cents...

Hello hostabove,

Thank you very much for your feedback, basically you saying that affiliate advertising not appropriate in that spot. Also when you say more business, what do you mean by that. We are developing SEO packages, which will be ready by Monday, is that what you mean more business relative to link exchange. Please clarify.

the home drop down box is acting a bit wierd.. it does not come up sometimes with the mouse overs... nice site design over all..

**ForrestCroce** · 09-09-2007, 03:03 AM

The design is attractive, although your "bookmarks" thing for social media breaks up the nice layout. I'd move it to the footer.

I'd also clarify this text on your home page:

Quote:

All links are one way; no installation code is required, permanent one way links, and even 30 day money back guarantee. This all seems way too good to be true. The catch? There is none! All you have to do is manually install outgoing links on your site which can’t take more than a couple minutes.

If you're offering to get people one-way links pointing to their site, right? Is that what you're fee covers? You might benefit from clarifying why someone would be asked to place an outgoing link on their site if you're selling them one-way links going in?

I say this because if I'm confused, you've lost me as a customer. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll read that and question things. So you would profit by answering those questions.

Your biggest problem isn't your site (although it does have problems)...it's your idea. It's a deeply flawed concept with contradictory sales messages throughout the site, and even if it did have a consistent message, couldn't possibly work and is yet another in a long line of SEO scams designed to exploit the ignorant and/or terminally stupid.

But on the plus side, you gave me some wonderful blog content.

**moussa854** · 09-09-2007, 07:21 PM

I think that the site is well designed good luck

**Sir P** · 09-10-2007, 06:19 AM

good work on that design - easy to navigate... and colours are nice enough...

id change the font though, that font turns me off

**WD-NYC Designer** · 09-10-2007, 07:48 AM

Hello reboltof,

Thank you for your feedback. We are still working on improvement of our website and will take your mentioned points very seriously. Your comments was submitted to our developers.

Hi,
I understood your content, i have no problem to read your website content. In my opinion you should include some graphics on your website. It will become a pretty nice website and it will attract the more visitors on your website.

Thanks

**deyu** · 09-10-2007, 08:55 AM

i guess the site is pretty cool man

**WD-NYC Designer** · 09-10-2007, 06:24 PM

Hello,

Adam thank you for posting your feedback about our site, we greatly appreciate it and would like to welcome anyone else to express their opinions about our site and how we can make it better. Also I would like to point out that Adams comments are a perfect example of a how somebody can greatly confuse and misinterpret the workings of our program. Once again thank you Adam, your post has definitely allowed us to take another look at whether we explained how we work clearly enough and in great enough detail.

We would like take the opportunity to clear up Adams confusion and any confusion he might have caused with his Blog posting.

Firstly we provide a service that allows our users to receive links with "relevant" content meaning that we will not just throw you any link we want. We will very carefully match up the content of your site with the content that your incoming link will have. The increase in PR is just the added bonus that you will inevitably receive by using our program. As the new Google guidelines state, PR increases due to relevant links on your site not by how many links you have. Most link exchange schemes fail because the incoming links have no relevance to the site's content. What we are trying to accomplish with our program is to allow our users to get the kind of relevant content that they want. So this is not some sort of "Scheme" but a genuine idea base on the new requirements by today's leading search engines.

Adam was very quick to point out the so called "inconsistency" in our Refund FAQ. To clarify his confusion, we offer a completely free trial for the first thirty days if you sign up before the program begins, if you sign up after the program has started then you will have to pay the monthly fee of $25.00. If you signed up after the program has started you will have thirty days to try it out and see if you like it, if you do not you keep the links, get your money back, and that is all. If you decide to cancel your membership after the first 30 days then we will not refund you your money but you will keep the links that we have provided for you.

In reference to the "conflicting" Cancellation of Service Information you have obviously misunderstood what we have stated in our FAQ. If you could not pay your bill on time your membership will be cancelled you will keep the links that you have accumulated up to that point but you will no longer receive any new links, and therefore you will no longer receive our services, it is pretty simple.

The links a webmaster will receive are one way-links, it may be hard for some to figure it out but we have developed an algorithm that makes sure that there will be no cross-linking in our program. Furthermore we have enough volunteer websites to make sure that all the links flow in a one way direction.

One of the main points of our service is that we take the workload of our client's backs in choosing the links for them. We make it easier and faster to find relevant content for our clients, instead of sitting of hours trying to find the right website and then waste time contacting the owners of the website with which you want to exchange links. We make exchanging links convenient, simple, and fast. The program which we offer will provide out clients with relevant content, not fictitious, or leading to "bad neighborhoods". As we clearly stated sites which are listed in bad neighborhoods are not even allowed to register and thus will not be used in the program. Also it would make absolutely no logical sense for us to provide poor, irrelevant, and harmful links to our clients, unless we wish to lose them and give a bad name to our service.

Our program in no way violates the Google Terms of Service. We do not provide links that we have pulled out of thin air. We do not provide links to web spammers or to bad neighborhood websites because as stated earlier they are not even allowed to participate in the service. We are not providing excessive link exchanges on the contrary we are providing a medium that grants easier access to relevant content in small amounts every week which will help people grow their websites.

Newwaylinks.com does not participate in the program because to insure confidentiality of our clients, many webmasters and SEO companies don't want to show their clients how and from where they will receive incoming links for their clients. As we know that SEO process is based 80% on a link building campaign. Many Web development companies charge extra money from the client for the link building process that is why new way link doesn't participate in the program.

Neither do we nor should our clients have anything to fear from the search engines. We are not running a scam, nor are we breaking search engine regulations. We are simply providing a new method in Link exchange. As anything else that was ever new we do not expect people to believe us right away but we do welcome you to try it out for thirty days. If you do not feel like you have gotten what you paid for then we will refund you your money and thank you for participating, it is as simple as that. There are no gimmicks and you don't have to download anything to your computer. While our competitors are quick to criticize us we do appreciate the opportunity they have created for us to further explain how our program works. We made link exchanging simple, cheap, easy to use, and that is why we are totally revolutionary. Try it out and then you be the judge.

Professionally designed website. You should make it FREE though since you're just starting off.
