I have a new site up, www.capitalbull.com We are a business lending company who can loan money to existing busineeses even when the banks can not. So far I have set up site map, submited my sitemap and url to the search engines and I have started to use google adwords to drive traffic to my site, its a little expensive but it is working. I notice my page rank is still low and want to show up better in search results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chad

I would strongly reconsider your choice of a header as it does not convey the type of professionalism I would expect from a company in the financial sector.

Similar to what others have said before.

Change the header it makes the site look very unprofessional and because it is so big there is very little information about what your site is when you first look at it.

Get rid of the adverts. I would not want to loan money from a site that is trying to earn cash from advertising on it's site.

Get rid of the video's. Your meant to be a financial operator not a social networking site.

Increase the font size. The font for your text and menu's are tiny and while I have good eyesight and no problem seeing it, others could struggle.

I think that first time you need to do some analytics work. You need to check your competitors you need to check your keywords and chose strategy. They are the most important things on your start

Why optimization if that is called advertising? I believe they are 2 different meanings. I can be wrong.

Thanks so much you all are very helpful, I am working to make the site more professional. I took a look at many of my competitors and you are very correct. Less header, less ads, and a much more professional layout. I will be working to correct all those. We are doing well now, I can just imagine the results when i get it changed up. All of your ideas are great and I am looking each day to get imput, thanks again!

Add new content as often as you can and change your header.
Enlarge the font for main navigation menu.
Try to choose a more appropriate photo and your header will look more trustworthy. Currently it looks scaring
