Nice site well done. Just when you leave out the www for the freetocompare.ie it pops you into the control panel login screen which is probably not what you want.

Yeah noticed that myself..
Hyperlink the website: freetocompare.ie - The Independent Irish Price Comparison Website.<br>Save time, money and energy by using this site to compare products and services in Ireland.

Well done! thats a fantastic site, extremely useful, and fills a void in the irish market....

Hi there, site looks nice and straight to the point - that's perfect!


BUT (again this is only my O)

When I went to DVD --> and then let's say I chose Children's

I got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... Next > >

More than 10 pages brought together..

For me that's a mess and I hate crawling in the mess, If I can't find something within 1 minute I am out of there, I noticed you have the Search button and thats nice. I just hate the idea that lots of things/items are not organized and the only way to find them is by typing in the search box..

"What if somebody dont really remember the tittle of the movie but know only the first letter?"

"What if somebody searched and nothing appeared in the results, while they just made a spelling mistake?" They would leave and would not get you any money.

My Advice to that would be: create a Sort by filtering and nice place to start would be not to have the 10+ pages of selling items, but let's say to have an alphabet on top.


And here the thing I didn't get, your website is for comparing, why did in the Shopping category I would always end in the amazon? How do you compare if you have only one choice? (amazon)

And freetocompare ie / Shopping design looks almost the same as amazon.


Well on top of your website it was mentioned beta, hope you are still working on it ;) Cheers

BTW I am not a native English speaker and this was my understanding of your website =)

excellent site. Easy to navigate and fast response on the searches.

do you intend to increase the category list? Car insurance for example?

Hi AAA,
thanks for the positive comments.
As the site develops we will be adding more companies to the shopping section and this will enable more comparison.

Hi Freetocompare…

Never realised there was so many different broadband suppliers in the country… don’t know if it is possible but as I’m in one of those areas that cant get, say Eircom. Is there any possibility that you could have an area or land line checker to see what providers can supply to that area?

Just a thought

Nice looking site, but I'm not sure if I'm using it wrong...

Clicking on Shopping seems to list items from Amazon and no-one else?

Nicely done, the only thing i dont like is the homepage advertising and the grey spacers on the results page table.

Hey,

Well done. Love the site. Its slick, the colour scheme is bright - reminds me of moneysupermarket.com (no bad thing).

Are you pulling pricing / feature data from partner sites using api's / feeds? Or is the data manually added to your site?

I am based just up the road from you. Didn't realise that Rochestwon was a hive of web innovation!

Hope the site goes well for you. regards, John

SEO review

What are the search phrases for the home page? The meta title should include those phrases within 70 characters, and not be a sentence. The meta description is for the sales pitch, not the page title.

And meta titles's don't have <br>'s in them.

The competition is pretty intense for the search phrases on your site, but its always worth a try....

I picked a couple of url's to look at - the credit cards one does not have a meta title with 70 characters of credit card phrases, nor is there an opening paragraph including the search phrases.

The search phrases need to be at the start of the meta title. Sometimes I don't even include the business name in the title, when I run out of characters after using them up on with search phrases.

Mortgages? What about them? What is the search phrase? "find the cheapest mortgage"? Noone is looking for that!

The google keyword tool set for exact match type, and your country ireland has the following which are possibles for you to try for:

mortgages ireland 480
mortgage ireland 320
irish mortgage 260
irish mortgage rates 170
best mortgage rates 140
mortgage rate comparison 22

You should Google for the phrases, assess the competition (I use the SEO for Firefox tool), and consider where your website should be ranked based on the links you consider you will be able to get for the website.

I would recommend trying for the last two phrases, the competition is fairly light for the phrases.

Make sure that the meta description for the page is 155 characters of sales pitch that includes the search phrases - exact phrases not required

And make sure that the opening paragraph has the exact search phrases mentioned in there, in properly constructed sentences.

Apply the above for each page on your website.

You have created a nice looking functional website, but there is no SEO there. Just a little extra effort and you could have the SEO starting to function. Then you need to work on inbound links, social marketing, offline marketing... SEO should be a foundation that you build the rest of your website marketing efforts on.
