		<description>A timely reminder as I&#039;m writing copy for a Landing Page. Testimonials, value for the client, and rich-media lead to conversions.

Thanks!

		<description>Thank You Jeff!

This comes at a perfect time - revamping the entire business, for this very reason. My prospects all want to DIY their own AdWords accounts...
This is precisely the sage advice I needed to hear today.
Have a wonderful Christmas

		<description>Great great great!

I&#039;m busy trying to do this.  I&#039;ve just written something along the following lines &quot;If your product doesn&#039;t sell itself.. Well why would I buy it?&quot;

This is very important, as you say, when potential customers don&#039;t realize the actual value of your service.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Mike,

There&#039;s no question that traffic without conversion is an expensive waste and that visual impact plays an important role in conversion.  I&#039;ve also seen rich media used as a very powerful conversion-increasing tool.  

That said, the videos still have to be scripted by a competent writer who is aiming to address the issues raised in this post ; )

		<description>Nice post Jeff.

Its so interesting how much businesses spend on SEO and when you get to their site, its hard to understand what they actually do.

&quot;Kick Butt&quot; copy is one way to convert the user but sometimes he or she may feel lost in a jungle of words or it may not capture their attention. Combining copy with rich-media and other vehicles of communication has proven to be very effective in many cases.</description>
