Default I need some advice please

Hi Every one.

I started my bolg in March of this year, to help people with job interviews and to show them that planning and some confidence anybody could pass an interview. I new that it would take time and hard work to get the blog up and running. I have been writing articles, 9 so far all have been published, 900 people have read them with 65 clicks on to my blog, no one has asked for my free report, so I was looking for some help please as to how I can increase my traffic - or do I have a problem with the site.

As far as I'm concerned, I did not realize right away that the form at the top of your right column was for a free report (or is it?). I had to look for it.

I suppose it's because it's not graphic enough. We scan the pages, we don't read them. So I suppose your text is not catchy enough. You should at least put the word free report in red, bold, capital, whatever... but something visual.

A lot of people put the picture of their ebook cover before the form, to be sure people will see it.

I asked for your report and was unable to close the thank you page from aweber to come back to your blog. You'd like to check it (I'm using Firfox on a Mac).

You should be clear about what people are supposed to receive when they give you their email. Because when I confirmed my email, I was redirected to a classic "Thank You Page" from aWeber, telling me I was now subscribed to your blog. There's no mention of your report. Now what?

If I were subscribing in normal conditions, I would feel fooled giving you my email for false reasons. The second message is not even personalized, it just indicates your aWeber ID, not even your blog name in full.

Thank you. Your subscription to interviewhb has been confirmed.
So, the first thing you need to do, is to check your aWeber configuration.
