Within just a few minutes of learning the program I was able to create a nice looking and fully functional website on trust seals and website conversion.

Since then I have had 271 unique visitors with a 30.2% clickthrough rate without using any paid advertisement.

I have had three affiliate sales come from the website since then and the traffic is still increasing with virtually no work being done.

Control Scan and PCI Scanning - a page I created just over a month ago has already been viewed 80 times.

To see just how easy it is to get visitors on a power affiliate site I have listed all seo methods I have done to promote the site:

Posted the link in a few forums
Submitted the link to a few free article directories
Wrote one Ezine article about the site

I would recommend Affiliate SEM to all site owners who are looking for a good way to promote their affiliate program and Power Affiliate to those who are looking to join one.

How does Free IQ work exactly?  Well just think, everyone knows something they could consider themselves an expert.  Maybe you know how to bake the very best cookies on earth, or maybe you are an excellent salesman?  Perhaps you have a business that you would like to market online, but you need to learn how?  Free IQ is the place to teach and learn, accurately referring to itself as a “market place of ideas”.

Basically, Free IQ is a site where people can post articles, e-books, videos, or audios that anyone can view for free!  After viewing the material of your choice (they are not bits of info they are full seminars etc) If you like what you watch/hear/read you have the means right in front of you to purchase additional materials through the website.  Free IQ has a special search algorithm that is patented to assist you in finding the best info available, and I must admit it is a rather impressive system that doesn’t just rank the most viewed content, but rather searches for the highest quality content to ensure you are getting the most helpful information possible.

Signing up for a free account is quick and easy if you want to learn from the content.  If you wish to display your knowledge, Free IQ will host and streamline your content for free, so you don’t have to worry about it!  Now, how cool is that?  All they charge is a small percentage (like 5% of your sale) and a credit card fee, which is beneficial to you, not having to deal with the headache.

Lastly, one of the most interesting things that Free IQ offers is their affiliate marketing program, which makes it possible for you to make money by referring other people to the site.  All you have to do is refer others to Free IQ, and if they sign up with a free account, you get a percentage of all the purchases that they make for a whole year. One of my favorite things about Free IQ is that anyone can be a provider of some kind of knowledge, everyone can learn something at some point, and then there are those that don’t wish to do either, but can still create a business with the idea of referring people to other’s with initiative.

Since everyone is able to benefit from the site as a consumer, supplier, or both, it doesn’t seem like it will be long before Free IQ is a household name.  The “marketplace for idea’s” will surely explode as an innovative new way to market skill and knowledge, and if nothing else-a great idea.

Regardless of the fact that people were visiting us over, and over again, we did not sell much at all.  After speaking with some friends who have an extremely successful Internet company, I realized just how important trust could be when dealing with potential customers.  They told me that 88% of Internet users view keeping their information safe as one of the most important things they consider before making any purchase.  It took me a while to find a successful solution, but when I did it worked wonders. 

Trust Guard specializes in website verification, and certification seals which builds website credibility.  When they advertised that they could raise a sites conversion rate by 15% or more, they weren’t kidding.  I learned that there are three major customer concerns that must be addressed by website owners:  Security, Privacy, and Identity.  A customer wants to know that their financial information is safe and secure, they want their privacy respected, and they want to know the identity of the people they are giving sensitive information to.  Trust Guard focuses on all three of these vital areas, and helps the website owner build trust with their customers, thus increasing conversion.  

Very shortly after using Trust Guard I started to see sales increase, and our conversion rate continues to grow to this day.  In fact, now I won’t use a website that doesn’t have Trust Guard seals, because without it I can’t trust it!  Their verification process ensures that the company is portraying itself to customers accurately.  To do this, they validate a company’s address, phone number, and email address using US Priority Mail (with double signature verification) or Global Priority Mail (if overseas), Phone Verification, Email Verification, and even more.  If you are doing business with them, you know it is safe and secure.  

If I hadn’t found them, I don’t think my gift site would be doing as well as it is now.  And I would have had to step away from my laptop and leave my writing for when I had time.  Now writing is my full-time job, and no longer a hobby, and there is nobody else to thank but Trust Guard, for allowing my customers to feel safe enough to keep us running!

His results speak for themselves.  After just 4 weeks, he has 341 visitors to his site and received 126 opt-ins, and was indexed in all 3 major search engines.  It is a good read for anyone wondering if articles are effective.

1) Find out what SSL certificate your hosting company uses and place that SSL image on your index page.  People want to know their information is safe and secure, and showing them a Verisign logo or some other SSL company logo will ease customers security issues up front.

 2) Add Credit Card images.  If you sell things on your site, make sure to add the credit card and other payment logos on your index page.  These companies spend millions on brand recognition, so you might as well use it to your advantage.  Plus people instantly know that they can buy products from you.

3) Put your phone number in a prominent place.  Again, if you are selling products, make it easy for them to contact you.  You will be suprised at how many more orders you will get just by having your number in a prominent place on your page.

Don’t forget to continually using split testing to find the optimal position for your various website credibility information.  Just moving something by a few pixels can often affect your conversion rate. 

With the development of cutting edge software like Split Testing Pro, we find that we can’t help but improve our various websites conversion rates. It is so easy. All we do is take our original index page, make a few minor adjustments and save the adjusted pages, load them up and start the test. Once the test is over, we take the winner, make that our new index page, and do it all over again. It is a continual process of improvement that keeps making us more money as our websites conversion rates keep going up.

The great thing about split testing is that you can test anything you want on your index page. From flash to adding streaming audio, to testing adsense, the sky is the limit. We’ve done some crazy tests just for fun. For example in one of our tests we had a 35% increase by just changing the color of one word on one of our index pages from blue to red. In another test, we doubled our conversion rate by simply adding some name brand logos. We’ve even split tested Google Adsense vs. Yahoo Publisher Network and have found huge differences in the payouts between the two. I bet you want to know which one pays more don’t you? Why don’t you split test it and find out.

The bottom line is that if you want to increase your sales, improving your conversion rate is way easier, faster and cheaper than getting more traffic. You need both traffic and conversion, but most people focus on just traffic. In order to make your website into a star you need to also focus on improving your website conversion.

There are several A/B split testing programs available and prices range from $49 to $5000+ so it is worth it to see what’s available. I have done just that and recommend Split Testing Pro it is easy to install (the auto install feature has the program running in about a minute) it is priced at only $99 so it won’t break the bank. Plus the “Top 5 Sales Conversion Strategies ” is a real asset, it’s full of ideas to help you on the way to better website conversion, and it’s free.

No matter what program you choose, get started testing today!

Would you like to know AJ’s secret? You’ll probably be disappointed when I tell you that he didn’t hire a rocket scientist or the top SEO company. No, it was much more simple than that. In fact it was so simple and relatively inexpensive that most of us haven’t even considered it. We are all so busy trying to get website traffic that we can’t concern ourselves with getting better online conversion.

Well, AJ had some visitors to his site, but he just wasn’t converting them into customers the way he wanted, so he did what most of us won’t do. AJ decided it was time to figure out why. That is when he started A/B split testing everything on his home page and little by little things started to change and with in a few short months (I’m sure it felt like a life time to AJ) he had increased his website conversion from .9% to an impressive 3.91%.

Would you like to hear more? There is a great interview with AJ posted on ABsplitTesting.com where AJ talks about A/B split testing and how it helped him get to where he is today. This is one of those priceless interviews where after you’ve heard it you say to yourself “Wow, if only I’d heard this sooner”.
