I just wrote a new blog post on my site and would love everyone's opinion on it. It's all about the importance of how keyword research can really help you, how the whole process works, and why you should be utilizing this very powerful tool every time you do anything related to your online business.

Feel free to tell me what you think i should change or what not, and don't hold anything back i have broad shoulders lol

Yes, your topmost header area is a banner promoting WA, the full width rotating banner with its two slides below this promotes WA, and finally you have a big skyscraper banner ad promoting WA in the right sidebar. And all of these are noticeable when you first land on the page. You could either put simulated "Vegas Style" lights around these banner areas and try to make it look like some sort of Vegas show signs advertising to WA, ( which by the way I would personally find kind of cool and interesting), or more preferably tone down down the invitation to check out WA, for example:

1: topmost area use for a clickable logo and the other side for social share buttons
2: use the rotating banner slides to promote interest in different things (like Jaaxy! or aspects of WA like its article writing tool, keyword tool, hosting, live chat and instant help more or less, WAbinars, subjects, courses )
3:get rid of the skyscraper in the right sidebar, its unneeded
4: if you have a most recent posts widget you can display the latest sharable content via blog posts and put this widget in the top right sidebar
5: if your site is dedicated to WA review research your keywords, use blog posts and street articles for traffic and work your WA promotions around them, this way your will get targeted traffic to your WA promotions, just remember not to knock your visitors over the head when giving them the opportunity to join WA through a link or banner.

Everything else looks great!

Good looking site! I like the simple clean design. And good content too!

I agree with the others about the banner. I think it takes away from your content. And there's a lot going on the the banner with images and words, so it seems a little overwhelming to me visually .

Here's an idea. You can simplify this banner into a sidebar widget above the fold on your website that can also serve as an opt in to build a list. If it's above the fold, it will be one of the first things people see when they visit your site.

You can reword some of the existing content to say something like "Get 10 days free unlimited access to the tools you need to succeed" or some variation of that. This way you can keep a more simplified version of your banner at the forefront of your site and used it to build a list too.

Just my two cents...

I do like the banner, but I would put it in the footer of the site instead of the header.. that would clean it up quite a bit and be less confusing. Good content for sure.

that's the thing man i don't think this theme supports a footer option, I got the header and nivo slider. I do think it would look much better in the footer if i had one, any other suggestions

Talk to Dean,( Apina ) https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/apina If it can be done he will know how.

I agree with george for the most part. They need to be naturally drawn to the content. It's your hook to pique their interest.

Hi, I checked out your new website. My first impression was that you have too much stuff at the top of your page. What is your goal? My impression is that you want me to join Wealthy Affiliate and not read about how to learn keyword research. I would place some of the banners on the right side of the blog page and put them at the bottom. Let the readers read your article. You have excellent content. Tell the reader why you recommend Jaaxy as the keyword tool of choice. Also, you can mention that WA has a keyword tool that is FREE with the 10-day trial. Some people may not have extra funds to spend $19 a month on Jaaxy. They still can use WA's keyword tool and get the same results with the exception of the domain being available.

The sells during your content is good and are natural. Have the Jaaxy and WA FREE 10-day trial offer at the end. I think having a link in the banner is unusual but effective.

Get the reader to read the content first before you give them the big sell. If your pitch is good, they will want to check it out.

I hope this helps!
George
