Is your squeeze page making a loss instead of profit?

Posted September 21st, 2007. Filed under List Building

Everybody is raving about how great squeeze pages are, and how they are the current trend of list building, and yet they are getting horrible results!

If you are using a squeeze page right now, you are probably slashing your profits in half, lowering your relationship with your list, and not getting half the results that you want.

Want to know why? It’s simply because you aren’t testing to see what works and what doesn’t.

How do you know that the headline that you wrote is actually getting your more opt-ins instead of chasing visitors away?

How do you know that the audio that you added isn’t disgusting people and sending them away with a horrible flavor in your mouth?

How do you know that your offer is so weak that people actually laugh when they see it?

You probably don’t, and all because you aren’t split testing different variations.

Now, I don’t blame you at all. It’s not easy to split test. If you don’t know how to program how are you supposed to figure out all that funky PHP, MySQL, and other database stuff to really watch your results?

Sure, you could buy some tracking software, but then you have to figure out how to install it, and then how to use it!

Well, I wanted to let you know that there is something that can finally help you solve this problem, something that will increase the effectiveness of your squeeze pages.

It’s right here.

Matthew Glanfield has put together an awesome piece of software that allows you to create professional squeeze pages at the push of a button.

With his software you can create squeeze pages in less than 5 minutes. However, the real power comes in the fact that the software automatically tests and tracks various headlines and other features to create the perfect profit-pulling squeeze page.

I strongly suggest you watch this video right now before you lose even more subscribers.

Amazon releases all-new Amazon Widgets.

Posted September 21st, 2007. Filed under Contextual Advertising

The Amazon Associates program has launched Amazon Widgets. Amazon Widgets are small, visually dynamic, easily configurable tools that allow you to feature products from Amazon on your website, blog or social networking pages. In as little as one minute you can populate a widget with your favorite Amazon products, your comments about those products, and select from a set of color and layout themes to match both your mood and website.

Widgets are an extension to the classic Associate Links offerings and likewise, you can earn referral fees of up to 10% on these new widgets.

These are the types of widgets available:

Slideshow: Pick your favorite images from the Amazon catalog and present them as a stylish slideshow. Showcase your favorite CD cover art, present recently read books, or even reveal your favorite breakfast cereals. Slideshow also lets you overlay your comments on the selected images.

My Favorites: Express yourself by recommending and commenting on your favorite products from Amazon. This widget lets everyone know how you feel and what you like by showing product images, information and your own comments.

Quick Linker: Quickly build links to products on Amazon without having to visit Associates Central. By inserting a set of custom HTML tags as you write your content, you can quickly link to products on Amazon. For example, typing “Harry Potter” would link to a Search Results page on Amazon for the term “Harry Potter”. This is a great new tool that will be handy for all Associates and bloggers that write their own content.

Wish List: Display your Amazon Wish List on your site and let friends, family, and others know what you want.

Product Cloud: Take tag clouds or word clusters one step further by showing Product Clouds. Product Clouds engage site visitors by displaying product titles that are relevant to the content of the page in a cloud or cluster with the most popular product bolded. Site visitors can click on the title to directly visit the product page on Amazon.

Amazon Unbox Video Previewer: Show movie studio and TV network previews for a wide range of new release and classic movies or television shows available from the Amazon Unbox video download service. Users can select by attributes, such as genre, for previews they want to show on their websites.

You can see all of the above widgets in action on the Associates blog. Stay tuned for additional widgets in the future.
