I may be wrong, but I think this is only the second time I've asked for a site review. I'm hoping for some feedback, and help with a serious problem.

We've totally revamped our SpeedPPC.com site.

The most serious problem we have is that SOMETIMES it looks awfully weird and almost unreadable (black text on gray background) in Firefox but OK in IE. I kept clicking Refresh and the problem remained. However, half an hour later, the site looked fine. Jay says it looks as though one of the stylesheets isn't loading properly at times. If that's the case, we don't know why. Any ideas anyone?

Does it look OK in the browser you're using?

We did extensive testing before the launch. We tested it with IE6, IE7, Opera, Safari, and Firefox, so it's very disappointing to have this problem.

If you have any ideas on what may be causing the problem, I'd love to hear them.

The site used to be one of those extremely LONG salesletters that scrolled forever.

The audience we're targeting is not just the "How to make money on the Internet crowd" but also business owners and techie types who are already seriously involved in PPC marketing. So we're aiming for a more sophisticated look and feel, which will still achieve sales.

Do you think we've accomplished that?

I'm not sure about the "SpeedPPC Buzz" link. I think we'll have to do some A/B split testing on that. Perhaps it should say "Testimonials". Would YOU click on a link that says "Buzz"? Would that make you curious or would you ignore it?

The old site had a lot more testimonials on the page. Have we made a mistake removing most of them from the main page? Should we link more prominently to the testimonials?

Of course you can say, "Do testing and you'll find out", but some ideas on exactly WHAT we should test would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the site: http://www.SpeedPPC.com

By the way, we've put the link to the affiliate program on an internal page, because we believe that doing so helps our affiliates. (Anyone determined enough will be able to find it.) For the same reason, you're not allowed to buy through your own affiliate link. We're looking after our affiliates.

John Reese was kind enough to review the old site and give us advice on how to improve it. I think the new site looks awesome, but of course I'm biased. What do you think?

I had this problem in Flock - the replacement for Netscape ... it resolved to a white background in about 2 minutes.

On re-visiting next day, it just took 15 secs.
