Help me improve this page, PLEASE

Hello,
I am trying to improve the conversions on my site and I have noticed that this page : http://goo.gl/MIajx has a high ranking in the SERPS but also has a high "exit percentage" ...
Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should to do improve this page so that people don't exit my site from there?
Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.... Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice...
Do you think that moving the text from the top of this page into the sidebar will negatively affect my rankings? I am asking since the text (content) won't be the first thing seen by the search engines...
Any thoughts...

Hi,
Firstly, I think I'd clean the homepage out a little. At the moment my eyes are being drawn to every part simultaneously. Have a think about what it is you want the user to interact with first when they land on your homepage - blog, sign up, sales pages?
Once you've got that, work the rest of the page around it. Make your calls to action clearer and the main point of focus.
For instance, it seems like you'd want people to immediately select their bin size right? If so, drop the side panels, it doesn't seem like they're needed there.

Ouch. In my opinion, you have way too much Red in your template. Red on white is very powerful - it draws your attention more than just about any color combination. When I look at your home page, i get confused. The nav bar is red, the bins are red, copy is red. I don't know where to begin. I can't figure out which way to go.
In design there is a concept of "foreground, middle ground, and background". This is about color contrasts. The content that you want customers to see and act on are "foreground". They have larger graphics, larger fonts, bold fonts, and attention grabbing colors. Middle Ground is supporting information - ad copy, generally. It needs to be readable without overpowering the foreground. The background is the fine print - terms of use, etc.
With all of the red, everything on your site is in the foreground. Half of the elements on your page scream "Look at Me!" That's what causes confusion. The most powerful foreground combinations are red on white, white on red, black on yellow, yellow on black, black on white.
Action Items:
1. Strip out all of the red on every page. Make your Nav bar a quiet shade of blue or green. No red bins in images. No Red copy.
2. Stay away from Red in general - Stop signs are red for a reason. Red buttons on pages typically don't convert well red=STOP! For your action items, use orange and a bright green in small doses. They have tested out the best. Just about every major website has blue or green as the dominant color in the palate. There is a reason for it. It's easy on the eyes, and it's easy to drop in an orange button that grabs your attention.
Just doing this will vastly improve your bounce rate.
I can't even tell you about the site's organization - the red hurts my head.
Take a look at major e-commerce sites, and mimic what they do in terms of color, organization, navigation, etc. Every pixel on every page on Amazon has been extensively tested for usability and conversions. The color of the cart, the term "add to cart", the position of the cart, the color scheme, the navigation, - everything has been extensively tested by the best in the business. Why would you want to reinvent the wheel?
When you are organizing your site templates, think about how you want visitors to behave, and make the navigation and choices that you want them to take stand out, and above the fold. Try to build your site so that visitors never touch the navigation bar. Map out a path that you want them to follow and make it easy on them - put buttons like "Start Now", "Click Here".
Pick up the books "Don't Make me Think" by Steve Krug and "Convert" by Ben Hunt.

Honestly I think there is way too much going on the page. I find the layout hard to follow. I would like to see an image-slider with nice crisp photos and text below it. Also I think you need to integrate a more clear and defined call to action to your website.

Redirects affect on page and domain authority
Hi - excuse me if this is stupid question but I'm rather new to this. Currently the PA for the home page is 16 and the DA 28 and I have some concerns that my efforts are being diluted. When I use OSE on www.sassandgrace.co.uk I get different link results to sassandgrace.co.uk but there is a redirect in place to sassandgrace.co.uk and cannot run a crawl report, for example, on www.sassandgrace.co.uk. The PA and DA are identical for each but the number of links different With a smallish number of links pointing to each but with a redirect in place, am I losing some of the effect or is having the redirect in place giving me all the credit for links to both addresses? Thanks

Has anyone seen a recent drop in Page Authority?
We have seen a sizeable drop in Page Authority for three of our key category pages over the last one week.The total number of linking root domains has increased for all the three pages. We have disavowed a few spammy links but we doubt that would cause a drop in page authority. The domain authority is unchanged.Is there any way we could figure out the cause of the drop? Has anyone else also noticed a drop in page authority for their pages?

Root or Inner page for Links?
Hi everyone, I am starting my link building campaign after parting with many an SEO company. I have been able to establish some links which I have used my targeted keywords as anchor text. I have also linked these to the relevant product pages on my site. I am now however, wondering if I should have link them just to my main domain name? My site only has a rank of 21 so I just wondered if I should at the start be building keyword links to the main domain? I am also building branded links to the main domain as well as doing keyword linking too. Thanks Michelle

Number of pages to target per Keyword
Hello, I Want Help my company with our webpage we are "manufacturers" and "wholesale Suppliers" our products are "Transponder Keys", "Automotive Door Locks". On my keyword research on Adwords I Found "Transponder Key" = 1600 Exact Global Searches so, long tail Keywords like "Transponder Key Manufacturer" have less Searches but are less competitive. I´m trying to Target "Transponder Key Manufacturer""Transponder Key Supplier"

"Transponder Key" Main Question, when you do SEO for webpage, all your seo campaign goes for 1 webpage, example www.example.com/new_seo_content.html or one page for groups of similar keywords like Transponder key, transponder key manufacturer, transponder key supplier0 -

Should I 301 Redirect The index.html Page?
Hello, As an experiment I am trying to work with an SBI site but am noticing index.html is being forced on me as the homepage. As I understand it's good practice to 301 redirect the index.html page to the to the actual home page. Can someone please confirm that I am right in thinking this? Here is an example: http://www.anguilla-beaches.com/index.html
Link Building | | umtmedia
http://www.anguilla-beaches.com/ According to yahoo 773 links are pointing to the index.html page and 771 links are pointing to the / page. I'm sure Google knows that these are the same pages and does not consider them as duplicate but surely the index.html page should be redirected right? am I going mad here? Now if we look at this site: http://www.jugglenow.com the homepage has 198 links according to yahoo
http://www.jugglenow.com/index.html this page also has 198 links? now I am confused, are these 2 the same page? On this page: http://www.jugglenow.com/juggling-balls.html notice how there is no link to the actual homepage but there is a link to the index.html page. Am I missing something here because I can't figure it out, surely there should be just 1 homepage without a index.html page. Any help would be appreciated0 -
Multiple links to dead pages
I have just taken over a client and have been shocked to see a lot of wasted 'link juice' from hundreds of websites linking to old/dead pages within my client's domain. My question is - what is the best method to re-capture that juice given that it is impractical to change the links at source. Thanks.
