This is a fascinating concept. Why not doing it again?

What does anyone else think?

Your opinion is welcomed…..

- This competition is meant for text link calls to action, but we will consider landing pages with call to action buttons as well. (Keep in mind, though, that the judges are the ones who will choose which call to action to swap out.)

- We’re hoping to pick landing pages with about 2k visitors per day. We are willing to make exceptions, but we all have to be reasonable or it will take too long to run the tests and report back on everyone’s results (especially if you want to see results by Halloween or soon thereafter). Sorry, but 100 visitors/day is too low to produce valid results in this time-frame.

And one more thing: WOW! We’re loving all these submissions. Keep ‘em coming! Just a few days before we announce the winners…

I get several thousand visitors per month – nearly half of which proceed to get a quote (the first step of the order process). I lose a very high percentage on the registration/login page (working on removing this) and basically everyone who gets past this page puts in their credit card and orders. I have Google Analytics and Goals defined. So just need to get more people clicking through from the quote page (and removing the registration page!)

Thanks

PS. My pricing and turnaround times are some of the most competitive in the industry and quality is at least as good as the competition.

I appreciate this article. I am building a simple website which will be the “call to action” site readers of my upcoming article and press releases will go to to obtain a “Special Report.”

I have inserted the following H2 headlines, which are obviously are not LINKS… but the same concept applies because it leads to a “call to action” by either submitting merchant info via a toll-free phone or online form.

Thank you for an article which rises to the occasion of “Where’s the Beef?”.

I hope this small anecdote proves helpful as well.

Positively,
Alan

We took the site from 7,000 monthly visitors to 120,000 monthly visitors, and the sales have increased by about 1000% over the last 2 years.

However, the conversion rate for the page is only around 1%.

We should win because our client (and our other clients as well) would love it. We are very good at SEO and driving traffic for our clients, but we haven’t focused much on conversion rates. It’s about time to start.

We have clear metrics and analytics in place, the ability to test, and the willingness to implement your suggestions.

If 3,000+ visitors a day to the site and 750+ visitors a day to that page isn’t enough traffic, we can suggest pages for other clients.

We would love to be included and would be extremely willing to cooperate in any way required.

I would like to test this site:

Carpet Protector by Plasticover

…but I am not clear on that the requirements are.

We would love to see you work with this landing page of ours:

http://www.thinkstudentloans.com/n/faster/

We have tested and retested, and found that imagery works quite well, and haven’t yet been able to come up with a better landing page than this.

Seeing that you:
“want to show how words alone can make a big impact on conversion, and to help you make more money online”

We think that this is a perfect challenge to prove us wrong and show that words are key to persuasion-oriented marketing.

We have metrics aplenty, enough traffic to make for a balanced test and would love to be in on this conversion challenge!

I lost my time for blogging a few months ago (new job far away, lead to new house far away etc etc). I have now spent some time looking at ‘behind the scenes’ things and want to get back into it all.

On saturday i decided to create a page for my stumbleupon advertising campaign users to land on more than anything else. Its very bland really, but I feel it will do the trick.

Having this page reviewed would be the perfect way to prepare my landing page before I launch my campaign properly, it would also give me a really good start getting back into the world of blogging

I also face issues with how and where I promote my blog, due to the delicate subject it covers. This makes it hard to promote in a lot of respects.

I’d like to see what magic you could weave on this page http://www.mobalworldphone.com

We already get quite good conversion rates, but I’ve never been totally happy with the calls to action on the buttons.

Do you think by changing to text links you could beat them?

The requirement for sufficient traffic for the test is a big vague though. Is it 100 visitors a day, or 10,000?

This page converts at less than 2%, so should I redirect to a copy of the current newsletter? and rely on its quality to gain a sign-up.

Perhaps I should dump the form and make it a very simple squeeze page, name & email.

I’m in the process of putting a new site together, the new look is a little less corporate and not so generic, there are more than 1500 versions of this contact us page around the internet at the moment.

Consequently I’d be a great test subject as we can share our results with all my associates and send them flocking to your sites through your own killer hyperlink in our weekly newsletter.

Thanks for the opportunity, Regards, Brendan

I would participate, but not much interested in putting analytics or anything else on my (”world’s longest”)squeeze page that might slow down the server for visitors.

I also don’t like to “brag” about how much my free members love my copywriting interviews or my colorful website, so I guess I’m out of the picture. ;0)

I hope you know I say these things in jest (hehehe).

Love you guys… keep up the excellent work!

Wish you all the BEST that life has to offer.

But here’s my neglected acupuncture site which mainly sells my book… http://www.pulsemed.org – it still gets about 10,500 pageviews per month, 821 went to the book preview (a sales letter I’m not proud of). I’m sure more people could be convinced to go to that page.

Or my new bare bones version of my AdWords consulting service at http://www.adwordsman.com but, while at my recent corporate job, I neglected to market it, so it only gets about 120 visitors a week. It might be too young in its new skin to be tested.

Thanks!

Now, this is a call to action text link: Instruct your web browsing software application to engage this hyperlink in order to retrieve more information from Copyblogger.

Not the most original, but everyone must be doing it for a reason, right?

Nice of you to “Share your comments and questions,” Brian.
