Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

This is a general request for all who find they have a bit of free time and feel like playing critic. I invite all to give their opinions on the tour from the homepage to the signup page. Would you be inclined to join? Please try to be objective…so if youngish Latinos are not “your thing” keep that in mind and concentrate on structure.

I am looking for feedback on flow…on improvements…tweaks and fine tuning. Perhaps you hate it all. I am open to anything so be brutal. In fact, wait until you are pissed off and need to blow off some steam before checking it out. Rip me a new one!

I am specifically asking about MiamiBoyz.com

Feel free to post here as I am sort of turned on by public humiliation OR feel free to PM or email directly at [email protected].

Thanks

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

I posted here when I revamped BoyFeast and I got some criticism… meanwhile my sales greatly increased on that site…

So, having said that, whatever “public humiliation” you receive here-- weigh it beside your sales. Did they increase as a result? That’s the true feedback. If the results aren’t financially positive then change :smiley:

My biggest criticism would be on your list of “the boys”

Include your models pornstar last names-- it helps the affiliate know who they’re blogging about, it helps the customer find you on Google when they look up your rising stars, and it makes consumers feel like they know the model a little more intimately.

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

Here is my contribution to the public humiliation :slight_smile:

> When I first land on your index page, I have no idea where to go to. I am used to seeing a big ENTER link and a LEAVE link and in this case, I cannot find either one of them. Should I click on BLOG, FREE FICTION, TUMBLR (obviously not on TUMBLR, but that’s because I know TUMBLR takes me away from the site), FREE TOUR or VIDEOS ?

> When I click on FREE TOUR, I end up on the “about” page and I don’t see much previews.

> I would suggest to create a big ENTER link on your first page and link that to http://www.miamiboyz.com/index1.html - that’s the kind of page people would like to see when they explore the free section.

> While looking at this page, I might want to sign up (because of the hot models and the close-up pics of those uncut Latino cocks I am seeing), but there is not a single possibility to go to a sign up page. I need to scroll all the way back to the top of page, to find the only join link.

> My suggestion is to add a link to the join page somewhere at the middle of the page and at the very bottom of this page.

> The join page itself is okay, but I would make the 10-day membership a recurring one.

I think you got too much going on and I believe surfers are feeling a bit lost when they enter your site. You shouldn’t give people many choices when it comes to navigation. Look at it as a menu in a restaurant. You can offer 150 different meals or you could offer 4 different meals with meat, 4 meals with fish and maybe 2 vegetarian meals. Most people appreciate the smaller menu, because most people are bad at making choices when there are too many options.

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

I agree with everything Dennis has said. When I first landed on the site, I see a picture of four guys on a backdrop of Miami. Then when I click the tour link, again, I get a picture of Miami on ALL ABOUT THE SITE.

As a porn surfer, I’m really more interested in seeing the guys that pictures of Miami. In my mind, the site is about Latino Amateur Guys, where they are from doesn’t really matter to me.

When I get past the warning page, I want to see guys, preferably naked, but …

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

First off I see zero hot text with keywords for Google. Most of your About page commentary should be on that page in actual html, not on a pic. And get your CSS off on it’s own page and link to it with .php.

Get description and keyword meta tags onto every page above the header. Some say google doesn’t use it … bullsh*t … I see what I put for a description meta on google listings almost 90% of the time. Also use the description ON the page as part of the hot text I mentioned first so Google sees “relativity” Also use the site name wherever if “fits” without sounding forced and give it H1 font tag… (adjust the actual index H1 size so it looks good in your CSS)

I’d put a link button that says “start the tour” at the top of your picture, below the picture and then under the TOS put – I Agree and I Don’t Agree buttons and link them. You an affiliate for underwear or such ? or have something that’s mainstream? … send the exit link to that site. Don’t send them to Google - they don’t need the SEO juice.

About the TOS – make it a graphic not actual HTML text. At the moment that’s all Google has to figure out how to categorize and describe your site. Also, link your header picture to the same index1. url, not to the about page. (dump the about page and rework what you say there thru the tour and if there isn’t a hot juicy cock in my face in those pics on pages after your landing page … don’t waste precious selling space showing me a picture of the Miami skyline)

All the affiliate stuff should be in small font way down under your TOS. You want to sell the site, not have people signup to be an “affiliate” to get to your content. At very bottom of landing page put the “Ready to see more uncut Latino cock?” that you are using on the about page and Add two links. One that says “Join Now”, and the other “Start the Tour”

Free tour, start the tour, or whatever you choose to use for links~~ send them to this url: http://www.miamiboyz.com/index1.html

Show me boys, Lots and Lots of boys. I agree about first name/last name and be sure that it’s actual html text for SEO and not on a graphic. Also use the “alt” tag on every picture of those boys with “MiamiBoyz - Jake Smith” etc

I hate the drop shadow on pics and on the text graphics … it really “dates” your site. That was popular 12 years ago, it doesn’t show a fresh fun site with fresh young boys for me to drool over. It gives me the feeling of “it’s old, I’ve seen it all before, it’s probably free at my favorite torrent or tube site”. Same goes for your index header menu links and the actual photo text treatment. Too boxy and again, makes it feel dated.

Note: be sure to create an affiliate tour landing page that they use to send traffic to, as the index you have now is a major traffic leak. I’m not going to waste my traffic so they can head off to visit GayDemon or some Review site. I want a bloody sale! Stay focused!

on the index1. page I do like the “you download it you keep it” Use it like a slogan and maybe extend it elsewhere a bit as part of your hot text with something like “You download it, You keep it. That way you can have a hot, straight, MiamiBoyz cock whenever you want it!”

But do add “Join Now” with that you keep it graphic and link to join page. You have a JOIN opportunity only at the very top. A JOIN opportunity needs to be at every page break as I scroll down and again at the very bottom of every page.

If you want those testimonials at the bottom, get them into a table as the font is right on the edge of both sides of your page or control it with your CSS. And make the font smaller. PUT LINKS IN AS UNDERLINED AND IN LINK BLUE. I only just happened to see a link when I moused down as I was scrolling. Don’t make it a happy accident that I get to see more hot boyz and juicy cocks. Just my 2cents about the testimonials – again, it dates your site and does nothing to make me want to join.

The ribs and BBQ beans are ready … so that’s it for now. :slight_smile:

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

Let me prologue this by saying I love the niche of your site, the photography, the models and of course the uncut cocks! Yours is one of the few sites out there that I would actually consider purchasing a membership for.

Having said that, I feel the tour just doesn’t sell it well both in terms of design, navigation and ‘call to action’ text. Others here have already brought up these issues and a lot of other good ones I agree with, but here are a few things I would add.

  • The main tour page has photos on the top, where it says ‘latest scenes.’ I had no idea that if you click on this photo, it takes you to a video trailer. I’ve actually been to your site several times and never realized there were trailers to sample. Hell I didn’t even know the photos were clickable. You need to change those photos to big video screens, with a play button, so people know they can actually sample the videos contained on your site.

  • Same with all those small photos on the page. You should be showing video screens people can play, not photographs.

  • The site’s design looks very stuck in the early 2000’s. Why not make use of a full screen size? The site is also not responsive for mobile and smaller screens, which is a huge and growing market that you should be tapping into.

  • The bold fonts, and overall style of the tour, just look like a cheap blog sort of layout to me and don’t inspire trust. The website just doesn’t look professional, or make me feel like the content on the website would be of a high quality. It might be worth teaming up with a company that could help you design a more professional layout and design. At the moment, I think you have gold (your content) wrapped in a bunch of old newspaper, taped together with masking tape. Your tour just doesn’t inspire me to want to open it up, as much as I love all of the hot guys!

Good luck with it and feel free to contact me if I can give you any more suggestions.

Cheers,
Danny

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

Here are some suggestions:

  1. Your site is missing the point of the splash/warning page which is age consent - It should show G or PG rated content, or no content. I suggest removing the pic of the guys, member login, all navigation under the enter/exit and the large TOS.

  2. Top navigation on main tour:

  • Think SEO and purpose of wording. “The Boyz” Could be “Uncut Male Models” or “Uncut Latino Male Models”
  • Change “More Scenes” to “Uncut Cock Sex Videos” Or something useful.
  • Remove About. If you need to share info, make a small area on the tour itself. Keep the focus on selling.
  • Change “Free Fiction” to “Gay Erotic Stories” or a similar variation.
  1. The top of the tour page wastes a lot of space with text and the page numbers. Condense it by removing “Get to Know Some of The Models” and reword the top line to “Get to Know Hundreds of Our Exclusive Models”

  2. Shorten your testimonials or make them erotica. What appears to be fake erotic fiction and over the top statements and keyword stuffing in a giant paragraph isn’t going to have the same positive impact as a testimonial. In any case there’s way too much text there. Remove the text that serves no purpose for selling. Also add quotes around them. Work keywords into the body of your page, not a mass list you try to pass off as a member comment. If you need to do this, do it in a way that seems like actual content. See Example 3 below:

Suggested revisions:

“I have a total fetish for young uncut Latinos and your site is perfect for me! I fucking love your website!” Peter M. - A Fan For Life!

“Your site is amazing. Keep up the great work as you have done for the past 13 years. Congrats on that as well dude!” Ricardo T. - Huston, Texas

“This is one of the best uncut latino cock sites I’ve joined. The videos are awesome and your selection of young latino/south american porn vids is awesome!” Rich - A Miamiboyz lover.

Notice how I worked in 3 of your keywords and longtail search phrases in there and made it read as if it was a real member comment? You can do this throughout your whole site. :wink:

  1. Add more text under the large thumbs and also check your font size. The one for “shaft” has tiny text. Try a bigger font all around, non bold, normal, size 14px.

  2. Clicking the You Download It link has a JS history link that leads back to the index page. It should link to the join page.

  3. Is your site mobile compatible or at least mobile friendly? If so, say that on the tour. If your MP4s are mobile and tablet compatible, mention that specifically as well.

Your content is great. You’ve gotten some really good feedback here that should help make the site even more successful.

Good luck!

AJ

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

Thanks for ALL the time put into the replies and for ALL the SUPER suggestions!

I am implementing several of them right now!

Thank again for taking the time!

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

I liked your site but you need little change about design.

Re: Take My Site Tour And Give Me Some Feedback PLEASE

Thanks for checking. I have in fact, made quite a few changes that were suggested above (thank you again for all those who took the time to check and to comment)!

I think it flows better and gives the surfer a better idea of what the site is about and what they are getting in the member’s section.

Do you guys agree? I am very open to further suggestions and comments.
