Asking For Advice On My Website

#1 Unread post by Daniel »

If you collected Half Cents and wanted to learn more about them, what would you think of this page if you visited it? Should there be less ebay links? Should there be more information?

Don't change it.

Also, don't forget to click on the mintage and price guide Half Cent link which is also a sister page to each of my coin facts pages.

I would have less eBay links. That is just me though. I would indeed include more information. I hope this is of some use. Other than that, everything is perfect as is.

The idea of the pages is to provide information on the Half Cents and a picture for identification. Also, I added ebay links for each date so collectors could find just the date they want and help them search faster and eliminate irrelevant coin auctions.

It's the reason I called the website Coin Auctions Help. I wanted to create a site for a unique niche because there are many sites that offer detailed coin info. I didn't want to completely copy other coin sites.

Which ebay links do you think should go, the RSS, ebay sponsored links, or ebay date links?

Could you give me a reason? I'm trying to improving these pages and these links are my earn me enough money so I can justify all the time I spend on my website.

It seems visitors click on these links every day so I want to continue to offer this on some level. Do you have any other recommendations?

Keep it as is! It's fine the way it is, and I was not thinking of the profit when I posted that. Your website is fine. Keep it as is.

I really need to watch my typos!

Anyway, it's not just about the earnings. If I we could come up with another method of earning, but also help people find the date they want, and learn about their favorite coins, then I'm all ears.

I track these links and over 50% of my site visitors click these links. In example, if I get 380 hits in a day then I will get 200 hits on my links, and sometimes more. I think I'm doing well enough, but I want to appear relevant and not ad ridden.

Ad ridden? Far from it. I'm serious. Your website's fine. I was just thinking that it kind of contradicted what you believe in having links to SGS coins on your site. But it's all good. Perhaps I'm just too critical. Keep up the good work.

I saw that and I meant to disallow SGS to show up in my google adsense, but it's been on the back burner with all the other tasks at hand. I will do this. I agree, it's a contradiction.

I just filtered the ad. Let me know if SGS shows up again. It shouldn't.

I haven't seen it all day, and I still don't see it. Anyway, when I clicked it last night it just brought me to an ebay page so maybe it won't lead people to that you know who.
