Hi Steve, It looks great and I will bookmark your site but...most don't like a sideward scroll. On your buttons, once you click on the button, you still have the BV button behind it so you might want to change that as well.

Sidewards scrolling occurs when web pages have a large width; thus, once published, it creates a scroll bar on the bottom of the page as well as the side. This is usually a very big turn off. It can be easily solved by opening your page in BV and right clicking anywhere on the page (not on an image), when you get the window that opens up, click on page properties and adjust the page width accordingly.
However, on your page, I didn't need to side scroll at all, so I'm not sure exactly what page is being referenced to. Perhaps SChajin can be more specific...

On another note, this is a VERY GOOD and VERY INFORMATIVE site. I really like that everything is very well explained and there is no apparent question unanswered.
I think that once you change the buttons and refine it here and there (believe me you will find yourself spending alot of time on this particular project), this site will be absolutely great!
This is just the begining and it already looks very very good! I am really looking forward to seeing the end result on this one...
Mike

Very nice! I use IE 6 and yes there is a sideways scroll. What resolution do you have your monitor set at? I think that may make a difference for you not seeing what everyone else is. If I maximize the screen for your site, the scroll is not there, but I think most people do not max their screen. Hope that helps. Very basic, but thats about all I'm good for. haha

Steve, worth bookmarking.
-No sideways scroll here.
-On this page http://www.affiliate999.com/viralmarketing.html the links steer users away from your page. Consider changing the link to _blank so it opens a new window.
-Any reason why yr name is in lower caps or was this a typo oversight?
-There's no contact link.

New windows - done, except for: Mesothelioma and MPlook - UK Search Engine and Web Directory (perhaps this can be moved under the former.

I forgot to mention it the first time, consider removing the counter, there's a way to check stats in your cpanel.

Steve,

Nice easy site to read. I checked a few links and they work well. I use CompUserve as a main browser and had to scroll to the right to see all of your site. Found it distracting if I wanted to go anywhere else on your site. If I wasn't interested in affiliate marketing I might have left quickly.

You have done a nice job explaining clearly and directly what you are all about and what affiliate marketing means. Being someone who doesn't have a clue about that, I found your site refreshing,informative and very helpful. Thank you!

I don't understand the image on you title banner. I think a stack of cash may be more appropriate with a green color scheme.
I have hardware in my system that requires 800 w screen any page over 800 w in page properties requires side scrolling.

Hi Steve

I also have the sideway scroll.

Is the picture in your header at the top supposed to be like that or have you stretched it?

Good luck

Your whole template is stretched and distorted slightly. Keep it at its normal size and adjust your text to fit in with it and it will look a lot better.

Hi Steven,
Looks very professional although the last sentance on the home page confused me a little (not difficult to do). Where is this site with over 10,000 products to sell? Do you mean your site? Or should there be a link or some more info?
I too have the sideways scroll (sorry)
Good luck

Not sure if you are using BV,s View options. But click on view button in the top menu bar and then select ruler & grid. Work your page from the left hand side of the screen & within then the 800 mark on the horizontal ruler of the page. Just before publishing, right click on the page for properties and change the page width to 800 & check the centre box. Then publish. Should hopefully all show up with no horizontal scroll bar & your page centred?

Cheers,
Chris
PS. Like the site & has got some good info.

stevecl:

On your index page:
Your first lines are dubble spaced the thex is too close to the edge of you templet design. I would move the templet design over a 1/4 inch to the left. I don't care for the "tumbstone" design where the button section and the title banner come together (my opinion). And you need to move the buttons to the center of that bar, 1/4 inch to the right.

When editing after you have saved and published, do your self a favor and
use the preview tool. Things don't always look the same on the web as they do on the web builder. Things do look the same as the preview.

Your page still looks a little wide (maybe 850), often images will prevent page propertiews from doing it's thing. while rechecking page properties
you may consider adding a background (custom) color about the same
as the button bar just below the buttons. It will add unity to the page.
(opinion)

stebvecl:

To prevent spelling and gramer mistakes you can write your copy on word then import it to your page. I am not that good with english but I caught a few typos on the clickbank page.
On" OPENING AN ACCOUNT" spell the word two (2 weeks) and start a new sentence after the word weeks
On "PRODUCTS" (typo) the word to not yo
On "CLOAKING lINKS" A lot is two words and you may concider putting
Affiliate Cloner in bold type.
That should keep you busy for a few minutes.
I like the text layout much better on this page than the index.
The use of the larger text is a grea idea, a lot of us old guys can't see font under 12.
