Hi there,

This is Vanessa from SitePal.  You`ve done a fantastic job of going with an informative, educational audio message for your avatar, and by including a call to action in the speech.

That being said, it seems like your business concept mixes aspects of social networking sites and information-search engines like Google or askjeeves.com, but I think more information about the future of your site needs to be shared, or at least a list of sample questions for your users to get an idea of the concept.

Also, I would suggest integrating a FAQ feature for your SitePal character -  you can create a list of questions, and record audio answers for each question.  Your visitors can choose from a list of questions, click on the topic they`re interested in, and your avatar can answer their inquiries about your product/site.  For an example,  you can go to http://www.Sitepal.com/showcase.php and filter by "FAQ".

Another great idea is to begin collecting leads using your SitePal, using our Lead Generator function. Your avatar can request that site visitors leave their contact information as well as their questions in the interactive form attached to the character.  Their information will then be automatically emailed to your inbox.
You can also see examples by going to the SitePal showcase and filtering by the category of "Lead Generator".

Thanks and we wish you the best of luck - please feel free to contact us here at SitePal with any questions.
