Build even more trust into your existing sales copy pages

If you already have successful sales copy web sites, you may be somewhat skeptical by this title. Sure, you already have a list of testimonials as long as a toilet roll. But how believable are they really? I am sure that they work for you otherwise you would not bother to have any and many included in each of your sales copy letters.

Let me explain the fundamentals of testimonial support that everyone will agree on….

Place an ad with your claims that the buyer will gain the highest degree of satisfaction from buying the product. Some sales but a high level of skepticism and therefore you miss out in sales.

Moneyback guarantee within 30 days, works well but buyers tend exploit this system. Even with a very poor product only 50% will request a refund.

Word of mouth - very powerful but limited by how many friends you have and they have to help spread your great message. Small business places a high level of importance on this marketing tool.

Encourage satisfied buyers to send a testimonial of their product - works well, is used a lot (as it works well to increase sales!!!) but many buyers remain skeptical of how true the testimonials really are.

Use a public testimonial site that allows the public to express how good or poor the product really is (almost as believable as word of mouth yet reaches millions of readers that have shared a buying experience with the particular sales copy person or product).

Public testimonial sites are very powerful to satisfy buyers with good buying choices and which ones to avoid!! Each product owner has the opportunity to promote potential buyers not sure if to buy or not on impulse. They easily can visit a public testimonial site and let the comments associated with the product help them make the right buying decision. Usually there is a link on the sales copy page that opens a new window(product owners want to keep the buyer on their page as long as possible!!) Then the buyer returns to the sales copy letter and makes an informed decision to BUY YES or NO.

Sales product owners usually have a hyperlink on a public testimonial site that also hyperlinks to their product showcase site. Next time you are thinking of buying a product, why not visit a public testimonial site and do your homework first. If the product owner does not have a public testimonial site link, you should question what they may be hiding. Remember, good products will always encourage previous buyers to make open and transparent testimonials in an unbiased manner. Remember, good products will sell them self by word of mouth on public testimonial sites!!! If you have quality products, then this marketing secret is essential for increasing sales profit margins regardless if your business is large or small.

Hope this helps,

Website entrepreneurs, does your site have a clear purpose?

Website entrepreneurs, does your site have a clear purpose?

Many site owners would answer, "sure ... I have article information about widgets, smidgets and gidgets". They continue by adding that they have sales letters promoting
widgets, smidgets and gidgets. They also have lots of other great products and subjects so the readers could read there for months, if the reader wanted to.

But does the average reader devour comprehensive websites and stay on a website for prolonged periods? NO!!

Let's ask ourselves an important question. What made the reader visit your site? SPECIFIC KEYWORDS!!!

Niche markets are really taking a momentum in 2006 on the internet, why? Because websites are created to specific niche keywords, such as small yellow widgets that can do something special or gidgets that can locate ants in the dark. My point? Get specific and your niche site will enjoy a more targeted group of readers that are sincerely interested in and may buy that niche product that your niche website has to offer.

YES, this means you will have to create more websites for the dozens of markets that you wish to promote. Each niche has a distinct group of interested of buyers.
Generally website entrepreneurs think diversify when building websites. However it is better to do reverse on the internet - niche is smarter.

Less traffic, more targeted, more satisfied readers, more sales, more profit.

Splogging web sites out of control

The Web Content Police Are On Their Way!!!
Majority of the big search engines have recently broken their truse with commercial splogging (spam blogs). It seems the big boys are fed up with nil content sites full of adsense, affilliates and the like dominating search engine ranking. These commercial splog sites take only minutes to create thousands of web pages of important keywords that people like to use whilst searching their favourite subject.

Once a searcher reaches on one of these many web sites, the subject content is so appalling that the reader simply moves on (within 10 seconds). But wait, adsense has already displayed more sites relevant to keywords entered and so the reader clicks on an adsense hyperlink to continue on the readers search for meaningful content material.

That's great except the splog owner is $$ rewarded $$ for referring the reader to an adsense link. Therefore a shockingly poor content splog site get more clicks in adsense!!!

Well the big guns are out to clean up this mess. How they will tackle it I am not not sure, as it impossible for any company or group of people to manually scrutinize each of the billions of web sites out there. Maybe they could reward the public bounty hunters with 100 extra hits to their site for each splog/adsense website exploitation.

I wonder what Google would think of this idea?? I would join up as a bounty hunter pronto and find 10 sites each day, easy.

Where do I join up as a bounty hunter Mr. Google?
