Make Your Landing Page Soar

“Good things, when short, are twice as good.” ~ Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

Wow! You’ve opened your door for business, (albeit via a website), and you’re anxiously awaiting your first sale. And you wait… and you continue to wait… and after 2 weeks nothing’s happened. Whoa! Wait a second here – what’s going on? Why aren’t the masses flocking to your website to purchase the latest and greatest shazam shiner or whatever product/service you happen to be offering?

Before you start revamping your whole website and spending thousands of hard-earned dollars on new graphics, designs etc., what exactly is your landing or home page saying about you and your company?

Have you made it perfectly clear from the nanosecond your potential client’s mouse lands on your first page, what wares or services you provide? Or have you done what I call the ‘song and dance’ online writing routine where you’ve used heaps of flowery, flattering prose and all you’ve managed to do is confuse the reader to the point they have no idea what you have to offer?

I’ve seen hundreds of these sad sites which I’m sure you as an avid internet surfer have as well. They’re the sites that have amazing flash animations, surreal voice-overs welcoming you to “LaLaLand” and bedazzle your eyes with colorful images dancing across the screen. Yet when the flashing lights have dimmed, you still have to have text for the reader to absorb – and crystal clear words at that – or your potential client is off to visit another dancing duck site quicker than you can say ‘Ptizlefik.’

The landing or home page of any website that aspires to do e-commerce has to be as close to perfect as a carefully prepared and baked soufflé. One bad ‘ingredient’ or doing jumping jacks while your creation is cooking and poof – there goes all your hard work into the kitchen garbage can. Or in the case of your website, no clicks equal no sales.

Here are 3 super simple ways to ensure that your landing page provides ‘eye candy’ and information simultaneously:

1. Get straight to the point. Whatever business you’re in, state it in the opening paragraph. Don’t make the reader guess or even worse, make an assumption on what they ‘think’ it is that you do, because we all know where that wonderful word ‘assume’ can lead, right? If the reader can’t figure out what your business is about in 5 seconds, trust me, you’ve lost them and they’re on to the next company they found in their search list.

2. Offer the reader a free sample of your wares. Hey, you wouldn’t buy a car unless you took it for a test drive would you? Then offer your potential online customer the same deal. Give them a small sample of your services or products for free because after all, everybody loves the notion of getting something for nothing. Whether it’s a free report that is directly linked to your services, or a free trial sample of your products, your offer will have left a wonderful warm and fuzzy first impression. And yes, even online first impressions DO count!

3. Watch your adjectives! Remember when I mentioned about using flowery, flattering words? I call this sort of text ‘fluff filler’ – done by people who love putting in reams of meaningless words for the sake of seeing ink marks on the page (or in this case, the computer screen). Be careful of the adjectives you do use and place them wisely! Overused and worn-out words such as ‘fantastic, wonderful, amazing’ etc. should be used sparingly and not repeated over and over ad infinitum. After the reader has seen the word ‘fabulous’ for the 35th time, they may start to think of you and your product as ‘frivolous.’

When I write copy for my client’s website pages, I endeavor to use as few words as possible on their home/Landing Pages, as well as cram in as much information I can in the simplest manner possible. Those precious 5 seconds which you have to make a lasting first impression doesn’t leave any wiggle room for errors with mere words.

I guarantee you that if you make each syllable count you’ll see your bottom line soar. And isn’t that why you went into business for in the first place?

What is wrong with this web page? It happens every time I try to use it?

I have been trying to fill out some government forms on the Ontario Land lord and Tenant web site.
When I try to type figures in the boxes provided, it will only let me type in the $ area and not the cents area or to the right of the decimal point, so the final figure printed out is incorrect.
The page is very jumpy as well, almost impossible to scroll these 12 page documents.
Sometimes, the mouse pointer stops working as well and the arrow just runs all around the screen. It won’t stop until I unplug the computer and start all over again.
I can’t even close the page because the mouse pointer won’t work.
What’s up with this? This is the only web site that this happens.
This is the page I am trying to fill out. Is it just my computer?

I would contact them by E-mail or phone and tell them to have their website repaired. could be that someone has tried to hack it. Not all of us love our Government.

More Traffic With Landing Pages, How So?

News Alert: Your home page may not be the most viewed page on your website.

The content on your homepage is very important, but it’s only the first step. If you want to bring traffic to your site, “landing pages” is the answer.

A Landing Page is the first destination a visitor “lands” after clicking on a link or advertisement. This is a tested and proven internet marketing strategy. The main goal of a landing page is to produce a “conversion,” whether it is a sign-up, sale or lead. By optimizing your landing pages and sending traffic to the right landing pages, you can significantly impact your site’s revenue.

Depending on their search criteria, potential customers may bypass your home page entirely. Therefore, you should tailor each page toward one of your products or services. By tracking the traffic of these pages, you get feedback on how to hone in on the messages and offers that are most effective without having to constantly tinker with the rest of your website.

When you are ready to build a landing page or optimize existing ones-here are a few tips to keep in mind.

* Define your conversion. Before you design your landing page, define that page’s conversion activity. Ensure each step in the conversion process either states or supports your website’s proposition. For example: With a newsletter landing page, the conversion activity is entering an email address into a form and clicking accept.

* Give the visitor what they are searching for. Most people are looking for quick answers to their questions or solutions to their problems. This is not your homepage. The information that you provide should be compelling and relevant to the search terms that brought the visitor there. If a visitor is searching for information about “weight loss,” the landing page should talk about weight loss and how your website addresses it.

* Keep the form simple. The fewer fields, the more likely someone will fill them out. Landing pages should provide solutions, not inundate visitors with more to think about. Make the input cursor jump to the next field, and allow users to tab around fields. Auto-populate any fields you can. Don’t ask for city, state or province if you ask for a ZIP or postal code.

* Stay focused. Avoid promoting or linking to other areas of your site. The point of the landing page is to prevent your visitor from wandering.

* Keep focus above the ‘fold.’ Pay attention to the virtual fold (the bottom of the screen before scrolling). Place enough content above the fold to allow your visitor to make a decision about continuing on the site. If a visitor has to click or scroll to figure out what your website offers, the only thing they’ll click is the “back” button.

* Improve readability. Make your landing site simple to figure out how to convert. Place the important information (whether it’s your copy or image) close to the middle. Never distract the user from that focal point. Customers tend to interpret “dead” space or too many graphics as the end of the information. Also, try to reduce the number of columns for easy readability. Make your links blue and underlined. Use black type on white background in a 12-point font or larger. Make buttons stand out through size and color. Use action text on buttons such as, “Click here to receive your free ebook.”

* Provide multiple response methods. You should determine what your website’s single goal is before designing a landing page. Then, develop your landing page for that purpose. If you would like to give visitors the ability to respond in ways beyond the form- such as: emailing you or calling you (some give out Skype numbers, etc.) then make the contact information and calls-to-action prominent.

* Test and test again. The only reliable way to improve your landing page performance is to test it. Test the entire user experience and ask yourself these questions:

1. Is there a focus on the whole page?
2. Does the message match the advertisement?
3. Did you eliminate all distractions?
4. Are there enough conversion exits?
5. Does the landing page enhance your website’s image?

Carefully design your landing page as described above while keeping it simple and to the point. With your appropriately targeted landing page, your website visitors will convert into customers. An effective landing page will be one of your best draws for the traffic you so desire.

Landing Page Design Examples

Kidnapping Commission hidden in your web page design!

As a person almost obsessed with web marketing, I am often disagree with my friends on the web site designer for what is important. They know that I love and I mean no offense and all is well.

For all Webmasters particularly those with sales commissions of other people's products, design flaws web really hurts. Here are some common and some defects not so frequent that they can steal commissions hide your affiliate links from visitors without their knowledge, to send visitors to landing pages reduce harm your sites search engine ranking and wasting your valuable time on maintenance and monitoring.

The resolution of these defects creates a clear path to Web design more productive and higher commissions.

1-404 diseases.

Test your site for this widespread disease and deadly disease that keeps sending your prospects to land ever 404 server. Go to the homepage of the website, which in our case title = "> http://www.askdomain.com "http://www.askdomain.com. Then add a bar and some time after the main URL. For example," emailmarketing.html. " The complete URL of this example is http://www.askdomain.com/emailmarketing.html

What do you see? Our home page, right?

Now go to your own website and repeat the process. Enter a URL Web site page that you know does not exist. Do you see an error message related to 404? If so, your site is difficult to lose traffic and customers earned potential. Contact your web hosting provider that will help remedy this place and a custom error message in place. An error message 404 custom display your marketing message or redirects these lost visitors to your page.

2 – long affiliate links and ad blockers

long links Affiliate always create problems, especially when they are broken in email campaigns. But now there is a greater threat: the ads blocking. These sequences control lock to see their ads and affiliate links and banners, assume that the customer does not want to see and completely block the view. The dark humor is your your stats banners and links are displayed, but visitors do not see them. What impact will their sales and commissions?

The most popular Internet Security and Firewall software comes with default blocking ads on! Most if not all users will never take the time to close because of you or me.

This blessing, forcing us to solve several marketing problems in the same time.The solution is quite simple and is done in four stages.

Step A – Create an internal directory and call something like merchants or resources. We use "find" in one of our websites.

http://www.dailyfinder.com/find/

Step Two – Create a page named after the merchant. In this case, called "the business end of websites." The full URL Appearance of the following:

http://www.dailyfinder.com/find/the-business-end-of-websites-v19605.htm

Third stage – inside your page, you can place a redirect code to. So, instead of displaying a link to:

http://www.prowebvalue.com/?hop=optiword

You find a link:

http://www.dailyfinder.com/find/the-business-end-of-websites-v19605.htm

Of course, in this example we use a little more sophisticated and websites database and that is why you see these strange codes "v19605".

Go ahead and test in the URL, you will not see any difference in fate, but the ad blockers can not block the former but not the second. You can lose one and commissions are paid with others. There was no significant difference, do not you think?

This process will also improve domestic basis word association, we will discuss later in the articles.

3 – Published work in progress

Do not use your project site as a Web Archive work in progress. Each time you do your work in progress or the script page on your website, you may have them included in the search engines. Go to Google and type:
Site: www.yourwebsite.com

At the risk of doing too obvious, I should mention that in the URL above, I mean, to replace the term "yourwebsite" with your current website.

See the list. Are these pages you have listed in search engines? Click on some links do not stop not in the error 404?

Remember that each page of your site unproductive, can replace a productive and completed the page on Google and other search directories. Can you see the damage it can cause? Yes, you can always recover but how long will it take?

Work currently not part of your website. Complete their projects before putting them online.

Caution – Before you remove a page, make sure you have a copy of security and its measurement error 404 is in place.

4 – Lack robots.txt file.

Certain directories and files are necessary for the operation your website, but have no commercial value that you want to announce to the world. text file robots.txt tells the search engines to leave these files are not only and forefinger and Internet browsers.
For example, the image of your telephone directory or policy contains nothing of value to say visit the engines Research does not bother with them. An example of a robots.txt file that excludes these directories is as follows:

User-agent: *
Disallow: / images /
Disallow: / policy /

For more details, see http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html

Do you have a robots.txt file on your site?

In May, two pages of the site and the days of your life is productive.

Name Squeeze & Landing Pages

Article Contents:

The most comment type of Landing Page is a name Squeeze Page. The Name Squeeze page is design to capture the visitors Name & Email address. There are many different formats for a name squeeze page, but still to this day, one of the most popular and easy to set up is the – Above the fold & No graphics design.

Lets look at the in a bit more detail:

Above the fold:

Above the fold is a term used when all of the content of the website is viewable without the use of a side scroll bar. In other word all of the content can be seen without the user taking any action. This is a great technique and has been proven to convert at about 20%. The reason for this, is that is compiles to the 8 second rule – 90% of all visitors to your website will leave within the first 8 seconds. So, by having everything on display, (including the opt-in form) your visitors don’t have to think, they know exactly what they are going to be getting. so they either signup or go away.

No Graphics:

Exactly what it says on the tin, No Graphics. By having no graphics on your landing/name squeeze page, you are limiting the amount of distractions that have the potential of drawing the visitors eyes away from the action step that you want the visitor to take. In this case, Opt-in to your form.

When I first start most of my landing/name squeeze page, I will use this structure. But, This is only a starting ground. I will constantly be split testing two landing/name Squeeze Pages together. this is a great way of increasing your conversion rates.

Split Testing:

Design two landing/name squeeze page, one will be your standard landing/name squeeze page and the other will include an extra feature. The extra feature can be graphics, ling copy (No longer above the fold), Offer FREE gift and incentives, Different headline & what ever else you want to test, Only test one thing at a time. Then, by using a simply using Googles page optimizer, you can test which page will out pull the other page.

For this example, lets say you have added a header graphic.

The pages will be displayed page ‘A’ then ‘B’ then ‘A’ then ‘B’ then ‘A’ then ‘B’ etc. You can then easily see which page is giving you the higher conversion rate (by using Googles conversion tracker). The page that has the highest conversion rate is called the handler. This page stays and the other is deleted.

Then you start the process again, only this time using the controller against a new page. The new page will be exactly the same as then handler, but this time you would change the headline.

Conversion rates:

– Perfect.

I have personal run pages that have converted up to 40 – 50%, I also know of internet marketer that have pages that convert up to 70%. But, this is not common place for most people.

Here are two of my examples:

http://www.ebookscomputer.com - 30 – 40%

http://www.ebookscomputer.com/Temp2 - 40 – 50%

Be aware that these landing/name squeeze page do not work for every industry. That is why you need to test, test and test again. Its those who test that get the outstanding results.

Good Luck!

How to cite work from websites in an essay?

How do you cite information from a website IN an essay? I know you can write the authors name after the sentence you write referencing their work, but what if there is no author? And when I reference the same website again and again, what do I do since there are no page numbers?

If there is no author u usually write the first couple words of the title of the article, since that is what comes next in a works cited. If you reference the website again and again you just keep writing the same thing again and again.. Most teachers aren’t going to look through your online sources anyway they don’t need to be able to check up on EVERY one of your facts, just try to give as much credit to people as they deserve for your paper. You can also use footnotes- where you put a little 1 at the end of the sentence instead of ( ). And then at the bottom is ur works cited that says 1. and then has the work cited there.

Why You Need A Squeeze Landing Page

How to Reduce Website Load Time

An important aspect of website design is to reduce web page load time to the lowest possible. A slim trim website design is in some ways like an attractive athletic woman, so let us call this article “A website weight loss programme” that will help you make your web pages load much faster.
Why is it so important to reduce website load time?
A website has global reach but Internet connection speeds in various countries are not the same. A lot of dial-ups and slow broadband connections still exist. Recently published research has revealed that unless massive amounts are spent on improving Internet infrastructure, more visit to :-www.instant-website-security.comthe average global connection speed may show a dip by 2010. Even for those who do have high-speed connections, the total number of relevant websites on the Internet is growing fast. This directly translates into less time spent by the viewer per web page. Generally speaking, patience is a rare commodity in today’s world of reducing resource-to-consumption ratios. Do you want to neglect a large proportion of potential worldwide customers just because your web page load time is slow? If not, then follow the steps below to reduce website load time.
Women usually work on trimming the hips, shaping legs and removing cellulites in various places. Similarly, I have classified below “website weight loss programme” into three ‘broad’ categories: Graphics, Code and Other Factors. Please note that you should meticulously follow as many steps as you can to take the redundant fat out of your website design and reduce “website loading time” to a bare minimum.
WEBSITE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMME
A. TRIM the Graphics (Slim hips:-)
1. Avoid Graphic Heavy or Complicated Web Design
Website designs that use many images (especially those with special effects) generally take a long time to load. What if a good looking website keeps loosing valuable visitors just because its web pages take too much loading time? more visite to :-www.instant-squeeze-page-mastery.comTry to be discrete and use less number of images / graphics while maintaining the look and impact of the website design. Remember that text links are easily read by search engines and load faster than graphic buttons. Sometimes it is also possible to move large images from an important page to a section like “Gallery” to reduce web page load time.
2. Use Only Optimized Images
Optimize each image in editing software like Photoshop. There are different image formats like GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF etc., so try to save images in the appropriate format. As a rule-of-thumb, GIF is more suitable for uniform color images and JPEG for real world scenes. GIF saved at 256 colors should be reduced (as much as possible) to 128, 64 or 32 colors without comprising image quality. To reduce website load time JPEGs should be saved in the lowest quality possible without spoiling picture impact. You can also use PNG if you are sure that your users are using newer browsers.
3. Specify Image Dimensions
While inserting images in HTML always mention height and width attributes. This helps the web browser to know the image size before loading it. The browser will then reserve the area for the images while rest of the web page design continues to load, thereby reducing website loading time. Do not use the height and width tags for image size reduction.
4. Pre-load Your Images
You can pre-load some heavy images of the next pages (that can be reached by clicking on links within the current page) by defining them at the footer of the current web page. For example, img src=”nextimage” height =”1″ width=”1″ inserts a 1×1 pixel image in the footer that is read by the browser when the code above it has been read. Thereafter, while your visitor is viewing your main page, images of the next page will continue to download to the viewer’s PC in the background and will reduce subsequent web page load times. This is not recommended for direct Adwords Landing Pages because Google has recently announced that high web page load time will negatively impact the Landing Page Quality Score.
5. Optimize Flash Files
Animating important stuff can make an impact on the visitor. If possible, avoid animated GIF images in website designs; instead use Flash with discretion. Always use optimized flash files. There are so many ways to reduce Flash loading time that I will be covering this in a separate article.

Planning A Web Design Strategy To Include Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

The phrase “web design strategy means a range of different things to different people, and involves more than merely “design decisions. The term seems to imply that the issue is about color, page layout and the use of Flash animations. Yes, these factors are part of the big picture, but the “bigger picture is about the overall design of your website, meaning its entire “architecture.

You need to find out how your site’s overall “information architecture affects its visibility to search engines. The truth is, specific web page elements like your navigation scheme and technologies like CSS (Cascading Style Scripts) or JavaScript can either interfere with or aid a search engine’s ability to “spider and rate your site. Sometimes an element can do both, at the same time!

The whole topic of a “site architecture or web design strategy that supports Search Engine Marketing (SEM) has really been quite poorly addressed. Many companies that do SEM consulting have less than state-of-the-art knowledge of how information architecture and design strategy affect a site’s usability and organic rankings. If your consultant, or your own research, is focusing only on search advertising, media buys and bidding processes, you are not getting the whole picture.

A top position in the Google results is useless if site visitors aren’t being converted into buyers. A successful site architecture and site design strategy will address the needs of both the search engines and your visitors/customers.

Directory setups

Generally speaking, the pages nearest the root directory are the most important pages of your site. Essentially, by placing them near the root you are telling the search engines your priorities, strengths, and focus.

One of the oldest and “wrongest SEO myths, however, is that search bots won’t “crawl farther down that a third subdirectory. This is not true now, if it ever was, because as long as related pages are linking with each other in a “spider-friendly way, the search engines will keep on searching. Many experts in the field recommend that the most important pages (up to 200, if you have that many) can be kept in the root directory. This means pages that are important to your target audience, not your consultant or IT expert.

Navigation is key

A key element of your site design is the navigation scheme. Sets of buttons are generally friendlier than pull-down menus (DHTML), but plain old hypertext links are even friendlier than those buttons. While it is true that these text links are easiest for programmers to format (a click with CSS), the site design must consider the preferences of the end users, not the site designers or owners.

The fact is, many usability tests and user focus groups reveal definite preferences among Internet users for intuitive buttons and those dynamic, pull-down menus. Even though some usability experts may not recommend these latter approaches, you really must consider how the users react to them, since it is their actions that lead to sales and rankings, not the theories of the tech squads.

File names, directories, URL’s

When queried on which URL is more memorable – domain.com/car/seats.html or domain.com/carseats.html – more than 90 percent of people in an online survey reported preferring the one without the subdirectory. A surplus of “forward slashes” is a common complaint heard by site designers who take the time to check in with actual users.

Many SEM experts create extra subdirectories as a means of adding another keyword in a URL, assuming that it will help ranking. It is fairly well established that keyword-rich title tags are far more beneficial than keyword-rich URL’s. Never forget for whom you are creating those URL structures. It’s the users. URLs that are easy for users to remember are also easy for them to pass on to others.

Web page categories

Some usability professionals have broken web pages down into seven specific types, while others assert that there are 11, or an even dozen, or more. The actual number is not really that important. The knowledge to take away is that there are different types of pages that SEM-oriented web strategies must consider. Which ones you will employ depends both on your type of business and your approach. And how you will conceive, design and promote each web page will depend to a great extent on the type of page that it is.

Some web page types are home page, category/gallery page, advertising (landing) page, product page, news/media page, form page, services page, shopping cart page, search/results page and “credibility page. Each one naturally requires a different approach. It would be silly to optimize your product page the very same way you optimize some other kind of page, since optimization and design strategies differ according to many factors, not the least of which are the calls to action (CTAs) for each page type.

Layout, look and feel

Naturally, layout strategies will be as varied as the different page types, and a product page will not work according to the same principles as a news page. Of course, you also have to have an integrated and consistent overall design. When you are planning for a site, you need to focus not just on the overall effect, but all the individual ones that are put into play on each page. There must be some overarching sense to the site, while still allowing for differences at the page level.

Successful site design and web strategy entails issues of language, design, color, shape, layout, look and feel. The strategy must make sense while allowing for sufficient flexibility and creativity “along the way.” Certainly you want to improve the ability of search engines to access your keyword-rich content, but the bottom line is that you want to increase those site conversions. Keep your eyes on the prize and stay vigilant.

Your Strongest Marketing Asset

Today, a corporate web site is one of the most important marketing tools a small business has; and for many it is just as essential as having a phone number or business cards. Typically, companies rely on a variety of marketing “assets” like e-mailing lists, customer databases, and marketing materials to help them promote and build their businesses. But of all the marketing assets a business may have, its web site can be the strongest marketing asset of all, especially when it is part of a strategic, coordinated marketing plan.

A web site often includes the elements found in a marketing plan; from lead generation to advertising to online payments to customer service. With Web 2.0 interactivity now commonplace, companies can also add video, news feeds, online tutorials, and social networking integration to their web sites to further extend the site’s capability and meet their customers’ ever-changing needs and expectations.

An Online Advantage

Here are 7 reasons your web site could (or should!) be the strongest marketing asset available to your small business today:

1. Everything is in one place – web forms for lead capture, company videos, industry news feeds, links to resources and partners, online tutorials, customer service, events calendar, photo gallery, testimonials, marketing materials, etc., can all be included on your web site.
2. Integrates with other marketing – direct mail campaigns can reference online coupons or downloads on your site, email campaigns can lead to targeted Landing Pages, opt-in subscriptions can help build marketing email lists, social networking strategies can be integrated with the web site, etc.

3. Builds credibility with users – an outdated, unattractive web site sends all the wrong messages to your visitors, but an updated, user-friendly web site is an asset that and can instantly make you more credible and trustworthy, regardless of the size of your business.

4. Results can be tracked and measured – by using web analytics tools, you can track visitors, conversions, search engine terms and keywords, entry and exit pages, traffic stats, and a multitude of additional information.

5. Information can be changed and updated – unlike printed materials where you have to order hundreds (or thousands) of brochures or postcards that may quickly become outdated, your web site can be changed whenever information changes.

6. Local reach, global reach – and everything in-between. Depending on how you optimize and promote your site, you can target customers regardless of geographic location.

7. Works for you 24/7 – your site is available for visitors to do research or purchase products and services at their own convenience, at any time, regardless of your business hours.

Show It Off!

If you are not currently using your web site as a marketing asset for your business, here are some tips to help you combine your site with your overall marketing strategy:

• Showcase your advertising and marketing online; e.g., re-use commercials, radio spots, print advertisements, coupons, flyers, etc., on your web site to extend their reach beyond initial audiences, and also stretch your investment at the same time.
• Include your web address on everything – advertisements, business cards, vehicle lettering, name badges, logos, printed materials, etc., to drive traffic to your web site and help build your brand.
• Update your web site on a regular basis – do something at least monthly to update the information, add new content, improve search engine positions, promote the site, build inbound links, etc. A stale, outdated site is not useful to your visitors, and is not much of an asset to your business, either.
• Take it seriously! Consumers today are already online, and every touch point where you intersect with your customers and potential customers should ultimately lead them back to a great user experience on your web site!

The Importance Of Landing Pages

Are you sending all your online visitors to the home page? You may be preventing a large number of your clicks from converting because the message on your home page may not match the offer. Worse, the visitor clicks away because the information is not relevant to what he or she was looking for.

In online marketing a Landing Page, sometimes known as a lead Capture Page, is the page that appears when a potential customer clicks on an advertisement or a search-engine result link. The page will usually display content that is a logical extension of the advertisement or link, and that is optimized to feature specific keywords or phrases for indexing by search engines.

In pay per click (PPC) campaigns, the landing page will also be customized to measure the effectiveness of different advertisements. By adding a parameter to the linking URL, marketers can measure advertisement effectiveness based on relative click-through rates.

Improve your conversion rates by creating optimized landing pages with personalized URLs. They are designed to provide a more personalized experience and proven to dramatically improve conversion of clicks into high-quality leads and/or customers.

Top Landing Page Features

Creating a quality landing page aimed at improving conversion rates requires systematic and creative approach to marketing and web design.

1. Keep it Short
Keep it short and to the point. Paragraphs should be no longer than three lines, if they are used at all.

2. Relevancy
In the case of PPC landing pages you need to match the offer to your text ad copy. Keywords should be highlighted or displayed prominently. Keep it relevant to that person’s search query, because that’s all they care about.

3. A direct approach
Bullet points work well online, to help communicate the benefits of a product or service. Keep in mind that people skim read on the web. Use bold text to reinforce key messages.

4. A clear call-to-action
That potentially means a big Buy Now button, above the fold…

5. Fact over fiction
Stick to the key facts and be transparent, especially when the landing page is related to an ad campaign. Do not hide the price. Product features, product features, product features.

6. Persuasion
Persuasion means removing any links that might distract, focusing the consumer’s mind on the end goal: the checkout. This means writing compelling copy. Persuade visitors not to drop out by limiting their options – remove link navigation, for example. Prominently display delivery options and costs.

7. Clear scent trails
How easy is it for a novice web user to get from A to B? You need to encourage visitors to walk / run down that conversion path. Conducting usability testing on your Landing Page Templates may also provide you with some answers.

8. Grammatical accuracy
People don’t like spelling mistakes. First impressions count.

9. Reinforcing credibility
Testimonials, press, partners and additional visible customer support are all strong traits of a credible campaign. All these things convey trust and respectability. They ease the mind of the prospective buyer, who might not know your brand. Trust is very important.

10. Good use of images and color
Presentation (colors, graphics, icons) can play a big role in reinforcing purchase intent. Avoid clutter. Use white space and big fonts. Smart layout.

Farmville Layout Ideas For Facebook Fans

Farmville is one of the most versatile games going. With a simple grid formation you can create your farm in an almost unlimited number of ways, just like a real farm! Here are a few Farmville layout ideas to give you some inspiration.

Inspect Your Neighbours’ Farms Closely

The first thing you should do is to simply look at the farms of your neighbours, especially those who are at intermediate to advanced levels. This can give you a good idea of how to organise your own farm.

To do this, either visit their farm or check out their profile photos as many players have screen captures of their farms stored there.

Decide What Kind Of Farmer You Want To Be?

What is your priority when it comes to your farm?

Do you want it to look nice and to make some good money? Or would you rather optimise it for money? Or do you prefer it to look absolutely perfect and you do not really care about money except to buy more stuff to decorate your farm with?

Going For The Gold

If your priority is making money then you should dedicate the vast majority (ideally 90% or more) of your land to growing crops on. It won’t look pretty stuffing all your animals and trees into a tiny corner but it will make you more money.

If you decide to go via this route then I recommend planting similar crops next to each other. For example, plant all your strawberries next to each other and all your pumpkins next to each other. If you follow this plan then they should all mature for harvest at roughly the same time and you won’t be wasting time moving around your farm and clicking all over the place.

Going For The Show

If you only care about what your farm looks like then you may want to sketch your idea before going ahead and creating it.

Some people use Photoshop, a spreadsheet or even regular grid-lined paper to sketch out and modify their ideas before going ahead and buying and placing the stuff they want.

If you need more inspiration for your layout and your neighbour’s farms just are not giving you what you need then check out the official Zynga Farmville forum. There are several threads (including one with over 600 pages) where people are showing off their farms.

Most of the Facebook Farmville Cheat hints, tips, growing your best crops, experience points, free stuff, how to level up in Farmville fast, trees guide. golden chicken, Farmville cash are discussed and published in other articles. Make sure that you read them and maintain your lead position in Facebook Farmville Game.
