Need your help (ugly webpage and PDF)

But we are.....

Sorry Robert, you'll get used to the TR crowd, when you're a geek it's cool to be paranoid.

Anyway, I had a look and shortly afterwards my computer had a funny smell to it and my hard drive started uploading all of my company data to a network based in Gayana. My inbox flooded with porn mail and the RCMP is on the way to investigate my child pornography ring, so I thank you for that ayway. LOL :D

Actually your "website" offers little information and nothing to look at anyway.

From what I can see, you are a young guy out to build his online business but unfortunately, and I mean it in the most sincere way, you have no clue what you are doing or how to market 'nothing'.

I don't need a report on 6 figure IT jobs, they bore me. So I don't know what else you are hoping for. Perhaps you were spamming your company and hoping to pick up some rather stupid yet eager IT wannabe's (not too many around here) but trying to do it without looking like you were spamming. Perhaps you are a genuine guy who wants to start a busienss but has no idea what he's doing, valid but you are looking down the wrong road if that's your case.

So if you want to show people hwo to make 6 figures in IT, I suggest you first learn how to operate a business yourself and learn some marketing skills; as it is, nobody will be fooled into thinking you are capable of helping anyone, as it is clear you are in desperate need for business help yourself.

High paying certifications in a constantly fluctuating market? For which week and what year? Sure.

To conclude, your concept, website and marketing angles are a computing business faux pas. Back to school for you, young man.

Only when you spell it with an X.
X's make everything quicker, bigger, faster.

My alarms usually trip when a web site name (highpayingcertifications.com) doesn't match the company name (Copyright Prosource Inc. 2009). If you want to keep that bloated URL, I suggest registering Prosource.com and pointing the overly long one back to it.

The first item at the top of the page is the block of text "Member only downloads" that is unaccompanied by either downloads or membership details.

I'm not clicking on that link for all the dwarfs on Discworld. Why not post the contents of the .PDF as a separate page? Right now the site just doesn't look trustworthy.

"More to come....."

I suggest you take the page down until that 'more' comes.

Further down the page is the phrase "Stay tuned into your email ..." with no method, secure or unsecure, of providing my e-mail address to you.

"Regards, Robert"

I don't take career advice from someone with no last name or professional resume. Maybe those should be the first 'more' to come.

I was going to give you credit for a privacy statement until I actually opened it. First, you've pasted the copied 'boiler plate' statement twice. Second, each of the two copies references a different 'opt-out' e-mail address. Third, neither of those e-mail addresses match your web site's URL or the company name specified in your copyright. Fourth, first copy indicates the privacy statement is copyrighted to yet another company. Fifth, nowhere is the name of your company actually mentioned; you're supposed to replace all those italicized 'the company' text blocks with a real name.

Your TOS suffers from most of the same problems as your privacy statement.

Overall, the site looks like a get-rich-quick scheme. Ty Coughlin on line 1...

I pulled it from some free legal forms site or something. I don't have real terms yet.

I agree regarding the "high paying" bit. It was intended to draw the new IT person and then redirect them toward proper career planning and information later in the process.

What do you think a more appealing name might be?

This is beginning to look like overhanging debt with you in need of a bailout.

Kill the damned thing.

Invest your own reasoned capital. Swear off borrowing. Go to your own cupboard. If you find it empty, do something else.

I wish text, email, etc could express vocal tone.... I certainly don't want to come off as needy or in need of a handout.

And... I definitely would like to convey some humility here.

My apologies.

Just interested in feedback. Perhaps I should resort to interpersonal communication methods....

I can handle constructive feedback.

It is apparent that I have not presented enough information to actually receive what I am expecting.

I need head back to the drawing board and return with v 2.0.

Again, land of the paranoid.

But even if you offer a TINY URL it will be questioned as people here don't really know you, at least I don't.

Best off to explain a link to the PDF and include teh full URL with the PDF extension instead of just DOWNLOAD, that worries people who fear their save game in WOW may be lost to a virus.

You can email it to me if you want, 'ozmedia AT excite DOT com' . I am in business development and write press copy but I am not a big IT junkie so the tech stuff would have to be reviewed by a technical peer here, plenty 'O them to go around too!

I thought you were going to say the lips move out of synch with the audio. :D

Santee's actually starting to grow on me, like what I am not sure, perhaps some sort of fungi. However I find that the more thought I put into reading the posts, the more Confucious makes sense to me.

There you go, Santee is TR's very own, live fortune cookie!

Oh well, keeps people on their toes and typically defensive.

"Jenny: Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you're gonna be?
Forrest: Who I'm gonna be?
Jenny: Yeah.
Forrest: Aren't I going to be me? "

"Mamma said they were my magic shooooes. She said they'd take me anywhere I wanted to go."

LOL!

Do they stick to your teeth like toffee does?

Toffee: What the rest of the world calls
TAFFY.
