My Life Insurance Website is LIVE! Finally!

[Pangaea]

The slow loading time is courtesy of GoDaddy's shared hosting. The site loads 7-10 seconds faster on my server.

Oh btw, East... Your site is currently down.

One of my personal sites (this one) runs at 5.2 seconds on my server, but the copy I've yet to delete on an old godaddy account loads at 11.7 seconds.

Sabotaged by some rogue geek?

Yea....I had the bright idea of selling life insurance on line last year and built a site...I am on page one for any search term with texas life insurance in it...seems to me the mass's are not ready to buy life insurance on line in texas yet......I will be ready when they are though.....

Darn...you do load slow. If GoDaddy is so slow, why not move your site to another company like Earthlink, etc.

Relevancy will always outweigh Speed. But with today's competition, you better be on the ball with both.

I am a captive agent and I would like to know if I can have a website such as the one this thread is about?

Captive agent? I seriously doubt that your compliance area will allow it.

Overly broad key word terms means it will be difficult to generate traffic through search engines - there is just too much competition from established sites. To get traffic you can:

• Pick more targeted keyword phrases and promote those terms with inbound links.
• Pay for traffic with pay per click. Just watch your conversion rates, and be sure to understand the value of a converted lead BEFORE sinking to much $ into paid advertising.

The site looks great to me. Now your focus should be on making it generate revenues. Keep testing, measuring, and improving. Your prospects will give you the most important feedback.

thanks for the site update, it went down after ups decided to go on sabbatical.
I am now building a ups out of two car batteries and a dead hobo. With any luck and if my invention works, I will be also be able to finally meet god.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am currently testing a PPC campaign, and it looks as though I should be able to generate the clicks I need. My problem seems to be with converting the traffic to leads.

So far, I have about 90$ invested in to about 16-17 clicks. Not one person has completed a quote request on my site yet, but I do have one call in.

I need my lead cost to be below 30$ a piece, target is 15$. It looks as thought the industry standard is having a custom landing page with a form ready to be completed.

Do you think directing clickers to me home page with the start here button is a bad idea?
