Hi there Colleen and Linda!
My sites do feature images, some of myself even, and call to atcion links (although not as many as my US Free Ads simply because I think too many are obnoxious and detract from 'validity" of my reviews and sales pitches. I find that if I run across a page with too many calls to action, I get irratated and I simply click out and never return.)
I may not have these techniques down well enough yet, but I do have a feel for placing introductory text, calls to action, images, links, and other copy such that readers will at least stick around to read a little more, rather than glance at my page and hit the "back" button. (That may sound a bit over confident. I am always up for taking suggestions and I do appreciate your comment and post!)
I do really like the tests presented by Linda. I will have to take my sites and products and evaluate them with these criteria in mind. I am no expert, obviously, so I may well be posting questions about whther or not my end of these tests is up to snuff, and along those lines, I think that I may need some guidance with determining if the sellers products and landing pages are doing their part too. I have certainly seen some poor landing pages and products in my searches for what to promote, though, and I am beginning to get a sense of when I page looks poorly thrown together and expensive for what is offered, et cetera. Great tips! I will be evalutaing my current promotion projects within the next few days and then I will try to tackle both some new projects with these factors in mind and revamp the old projects, if possible, to try and salvage the untold hours of work I have put into them so far.
Thank you ladies! You are all being infinitely helpful and it is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
Will
P.S. Is it kosher to post my website here so that some of you can look at it and give me suggestions on improvement? Or is that a No-No? I don't want to break any rules, especially with everyone being so helpful! Just let me know and I will act accordingly. Thanks!
