If you visit my website, you will see that I've put a lot of work into it. It has achieved the following.
* Google PR2 in less than 4 months.
* Alexa rating of less than 2mill (started at 7mill) in less than 6 months.
* Aweber newsletter growth of nearly 100 subscribers since inception.
All good signs of a brand new healthy website. So imagine how I felt upon reading this in my Email box today…
"Sorry but your web site is very confusing…"
Ouch!
But the fact of the matter is, the truth hurts. What this reader doesn't know is that I am planning on implementing OddCast.com animated talking characters in the very near future. That's certainly no fault of my visitor since what doesn't exist would not be there.
Other options I should consider would be…
* Improving navigation (Which I plan to do this month)
* Adding the ability for Google search to search my website (after all, it's free)
* Encouraging future constructive feedback like that which I received today
But why am I interested in adding OddCast to this equation?
Several reasons really.
*** Interactivity ***
At least with the advanced model, which happens to be the one I am interested in. In this Web 2.0 world we live in people like being able to interact with the web. Probably one of the biggest reasons many companies are implementing interactive online technical support services.
*** Uniqueness ***
The more "entertaining" a site can be while maintaining a crystal clear and tightly niched base the greater the chances of your audience remaining highly motivated and involved. OddCast characters provide this service better than any other similar service I have found on the entire web.
*** Affordability ***
Yes, there is a monthly charge to using OddCast. However the benefits of implementing their technology on your website far outweigh any financially strapping issues you might want to avoid. Unfortunately, at the moment funds for my own project are to tight to afford a bag of fries from the double arches. That's why I'll need to wait till the budget can afford adding OddCast. You can believe that this is exactly what I will do when the time is right.
*** Closing ***
The above are indeed 3 reasons OddCast.com animated talking characters are in my future as well as why I recommend you checking out their service for your own projects.
