Carey - Can't login to my account on the FSB site since your re-design. Is is just me this is failing for?

This should be fixed - if not clear your cookies and try again

Thanks for the update, Carey. Not a big problem really, just a small annoyance - it seems OK on IE, but Chrome and FF are broken.

Happy Christmas and a super New Year!

I can't update pages on FSB.
Keep getting error messages. Filed 2 tickets but had no response.

Still the same problem today although now I can't access the forum or even the main site.

Anyone know whats going on?

Just filed another ticket, hopefully it will get through this time.

Thanks

Hope you got sorted, Mike.

I've just converted a previous Wordpress site to FSB at My Digital Radio - I seem to remember reading something recently where visitors/customers to sites felt reassured/had more confidence when seeing the 'secure' shopping type images.

So, I've added this to my header logo too, to see if it makes a positive difference to conversions to Amazon, will report back! 8)

Got a ticket through now.
Had a reply yesterday asking for more info, (supplied it) but no response today.
Tomorrows another day I suppose - just gave them a bump.

Your sites are looking good Matthew.
Like what your doing with the template changes etc.
Be interested to here how you get on.
Have got a few ideas of alterations I'd like to make. (once I can get my content on there)

Had a couple of sales on the site which is encouraging seeing as I haven't done much yet.

Also have a couple of more domains I'd like to try on FSB, but I'll get this one sorted first.

Cheers
Mike

Aye all done mate.
Starting to build a few more sites using FSB too.

Are you using the spinner for descriptions by any chance?
I'm testing a few things with it now.
Just wandered if you had any tips

Great! One thing I've noticed is it's very worthwhile going into the page SEO & Meta editing options and changing all details there to suit (especially on the default pages that come with FSB).

Not using the spinner, haven't tried that.

Yep good point. I have set up for new pages, but must change the defaults.

One little tip for anyone using the spinner... (only tested it today)
The spinner templates are a bit basic for my liking.
ie) When you read the descriptions, it can sound like a 5 year old has wrote it.
Obviously these can be easily changed and messed around with.

One thing I noticed is that each FSB template has its own variation of 'spinner templates'... So instead of only starting off with 2 or 3... You can get alot more by nicking them off the other templates.

Anyone else using the spinner?

I am planning on trying FSB as I have too many undeveloped product domains, I notice the info says other banners/affiliate programs can be integrated but I can't see anyone doing it?

Has anyone got examples where they have added other adverts/banners?

Thanks

Aiden

Adding adverts or Banners is not always a good thing, on an affiliation site you do not want your traffic to click away from your products. The idea is to keep them there!

 

[Aiden Roberts]

Good point!

 

[Alien]

Agreed there, I haven't added banners or other affiliation to mine either, I don't want visitors going off elsewhere to find what they need, lol.

One could use banners, such as this example, to give your site more credibility, picture banners tend to have less clicks than a text banner, but sending your client base away from your site is something to be carefully considered.

IN this example the banners almost guarantee the searcher is going to leave your site, it may be the owner gets a good CTR to adsense.

Signed up with FSB, learned how to use FTP, followed the instructions and hey presto I have a shop; how good is that!

Seriously it looks really easy to work with, granted there is plenty of content writing to do but a small price to pay given the professionalism of the software.

Can't wait to get it finished and live.
