WOW! very interesting. How can I make my pages load faster? Make them smaller or write them in a specific script?

Hi Benny, here are a few tips:

1) If you display images, make them as small as possible. The less images the better for fast loading.
2) Do not send traffic to home page if your homepage is slow, use a light loading landing page specifically for that keyphrase. This will increase your conversions also!
3) do not link remote images from other servers as this will slow your page loading (called hot linking).
4) Good page structure and design helps (use divs and css)
5) Keep your landing page very specific to the keyword… Take everything away that is not necessary to the visitor.
6) try not to have the page connect to database….so your landing page should be plain static HTML …. no scripts if possible.
7)Smaller is better for faster loading

There is more you can do but these are good points to check.
