This article is guest posted by JR That is our goal isn’t it? We want to convert as much as possible, and the possibilities are endless.There is always something to test, something to improve, or something to change. With so much going on there’s no surprise that people miss some things that could dramatically increase conversions. Here is my list of the top 3 things you probably are not using. Individually, these tricks can give you marginal improvements on your conversion rate, but make these 3 changes and watch your conversion soar! 1. Remove Your CAPTCHAs!.. (Or at least change them) CAPTCHAs anti-spam security forms that visitors have to fill out to prove they are human and not spam bots. They output a series of random letters and numbers that are impossible for a computer to read, and very hard for humans to read.If you are using a CAPTCHA on your website, then guess what? Your conversion rate is dropping! The problem with CAPTCHAs is that most people don’t want to take the time to decipher the code that is presented to them, and many give up after just one try. This has happened to me more times that I can count. Sometimes I spend minutes hitting the refresh button until I find something that I think I could type. But this happens rarely and only when I really want or need what the website is offering. If you have CAPTCHA on your comment form for your blog, then this probably won’t hurt your conversion rates, but if it’s on your optin form or sales page, it could potentially be costing you a lot of money! I would recommend disabling all CAPTCHAs on your website, but if it’s absolutely imperative that you have one then I a recommend NuCAPTCHA , this alternative an easy to read CAPTCHA that is displayed on a moving background. This definite improvement on most CAPTCHAS out there, but it’s defiantly not a true solution. 2. Display Your Privacy Policy on Your Opt in Forms Adding a privacy policy to your form eases the prospect into not worrying about you spamming them. It makes your offer more legitimate and trustworthy. If you already have a privacy policy then just add a link to it from your optin form that reads “Privacy Policy”, and that’s it! If you don’t have one then don’t worry, you can make one in less than one minute, I promise! Just look at what Copyblogger did, and follow his example: You don’t need much more than that to assure your prospects you won’t spam them or sell them information. 3. 404 Pages are your friends Don’t let any prospect fall through the cracks! Create a helpful 404 page that re-directs customers back to your site. Offer valuable content in these pages; you can even add an optin form! Obviously you should try to fix any missing pages that show up in search results, but inevitably someone will type the wrong URL for one of your pages and a 404 page will come up. Don’t lose this opportunity! If you are a Thesis theme user follow this guide to add custom 404 page . The Bottom Line It easy to get caught up with the intricacies of internet marketing, but if we can just make it simple and pain-free, for your prospect to take action, then guess what?… they will! Concentrate on removing obstacles go through your webpage and find any “holes in the bucket”. It won’t only give you better conversion rates. It will also make your prospects happier, giving you the chance to do business with them. Jesus Ramirez is an internet marketing expert and the creator of Marketing Unfolded .

Comments OffFind A Good Web Host – Web Hosting Clue
This article is posted by Valerie and sponsored by Web Hosting Clue. Web Hosting Clue is a site that’s designed to take a bit of the mystery out of finding a good web host. The site contains a variety of features, as well, that allow you to get an account different hosts with some special offers. The site contains a huge amount of information, so expect to spend some time browsing around learning about the various hosts that they feature. It can be a bit time consuming, but it’s a lot less so than going to each individual web host’s site and seeing what they have to offer. The Features Some of the standout features on Web Hosting Clue include the selection of coupons offered by different hosts. There are plenty of them available, so the site doesn’t come off as pushing one host above the others. The site is basically designed to help people find the best web hosting option for them and, if there happens to be a good option in terms of a coupon on top of it, all the better. The hosting review feature is straightforward. Each host is giving a rating, up to 5 stars, and there is a link next to the list that allows you to take a look at more detailed information about each of the hosts, as well. This provides an easy way to get more extensive information about any given host, though many users will probably just want to take the top 3 or four and see which one offers them the best deal. There are also plenty of options in terms of specific types of hosting. If you need to find out who offers the best WordPress hosting , for instance, you can find that information on the site, cutting down on the amount of time you’ll need to invest in these types of particular. This is handy for people who are using a CMS and who want to make sure that building a new or transferring an existing site is going to be as seamless as possible. Other Resources The site has some other features that will be welcomed by those who aren’t necessarily accomplished webmasters. There is a web hosting guide on the site that gives you the lowdown on the best way to determine which host you need. For those who go to the sites of the web hosts themselves and find that they have no idea what they’re even being offered, much less whether or not they need it, this is a good feature to have available. It even includes information about choosing domain names and so forth, so it’s a good resource for those who don’t know anything beyond knowing what a website is and that they need one. The hosting news section is also handy if you’re considering moving to a different host. Between the different hosts available on the coupon section of the site, the Top 10 list of hosts and the guide, there is plenty to help anyone find out which host is good for them. Combine this with the news feature and you can get an idea of which hosts will be good for you moving forward into the future and which ones may be adding features that you might be interested in. This site has plenty to offer and should provide most anyone in the market for a web host with something they will be able to use. As an example, a HostGator review gives plenty of information on the site that will be useful to potential customers, such as the fact that they’ve been awarded recognition for being the best Drupal host on the site and so forth. Other services have similarly useful information in their reviews.

Within three weeks of its recent launch, Google+ (the new social networking tool from Google) had reached a total of 20 million users. That’s a massive success so soon after launching, and clearly a lot of people are really excited. But what exactly is Google+? What are its attributes and, with so many other social networks already available, do you need to use it? This article offers a beginner’s guide to Google+ to help you find out. The premise The idea of Google+ is that, when you sign up, you create different circles to represent the different groups of people you know. For instance, you could set up one circle for your friends, another for your family, one for your work colleagues, another for people you only know online and so on. The thinking behind this is that it allows you to set different privacy settings for different groups, so you only share what you want to with various people. Privacy One of the main features of Google+ is its focus on privacy, which is naturally really important when it comes to protecting yourself online. One thing to bear in mind is that you aren’t allowed to use a pseudonym (fake name) on the website – you have to use your own name, and there have been instances of Google suspending people’s accounts for using fake names so it’s definitely worth making sure you use your own. When you set up your circles on Google+, one of the good things about them is that no one else knows which of your circles they are in or what you have called the circle. This gives you great control over it and means that you can set your privacy settings to however tight you want them to be, without anyone questioning why they can only see part of your information. If you place one person in more than one circle, though, you’ll need to remember which ones they’re in to make sure you’re sending information to the right group of people. Things to consider There are a few things to bear in mind when you are using Google+. One issue is that you can follow anyone else by adding them to one of your circles without them also having to add you. In this respect, the network is more like Twitter than Facebook as it doesn’t require the other person to reciprocate in order for you to be able to see at least some of their posts. The flipside of this, however, is that people can also add you to their own circles without gaining your consent. This means that you should definitely take steps to protect your privacy from people you don’t know, as unlike with Twitter, there is no simple option to protect your posts from others. Hover, you can fairly simply edit your profile to control what people see. In conclusion, Google+ is an exciting new social network that combines many of the best bits of other networks, while adding its own twist. As long as you’re careful about your privacy settings, you shouldn’t have any issues when using it. Related osts: Beginner Guide for making money online

Data entry might not sound like the most scintillating job in the world, but it is possible to make regular money from it. One of the best things about it is that you can largely work from home and manage your assignments online, so it’s really easy to set up and take care of. This article looks at how you can make money from data entry. If you want to set yourself up entering data for money, you need to find a website that specialises in managing it. This is a good way of getting started as there are quite a few websites that work with multiple companies and manage assignments, so you can get on with the business of working. It’s a good idea to do a bit of research into any websites you find so you can be certain that they are reputable and not out to scam you. Forums are a good place to look to see what people have said about particular websites. You should also bear in mind that you are highly unlikely to get rich from data entry and so you shouldn’t rely on it for your sole income. It can, however, be a good way of earning some extra cash for holidays or bills. You should set up a new bank account for all your data entry work so your main account won’t be affected in the event you accidentally get hit by a scam site. If you are serious about making money from data entry, you also need to be prepared to commit to it. As it isn’t an especially skilled job, the rate of pay isn’t amazing (although you should never accept any work that pays less than the minimum wage) and so you will need to dedicate a significant amount of time to it, depending on how much you are looking to make. You also need to be dedicated to it as it can get quite repetitive at times. The good news, though, is that there is quite a lot of data entry work out there. A lot of it tends to be on an ad hoc basis, which means companies are looking to hire freelancers or temporary staff to take care of the data entry for them. You could find yourself entering the details of online adverts, updating company records or any number of other things. Another benefit of it is that you will get to work with lots of different companies, so there is the potential for variation in what you do. Also, if you build up a good reputation with a particular company, then they might come directly to you for work in the future, which is great if you are looking to build up your data entry work. It is, however, still a good idea to start off by using a third party data entry website in order to build up your contacts as they will be able to offer you good work and you won’t have to worry about whether or not the companies you are working for are reputable.
