For my Eugene DUI site I hired a copywriter for this reason. It’s just so essential to have good copy to convince people that your “product” is solid.

Great read. I really struggle writing content which is guess why I’m a photographer – pictures are easy words are NOT!

a very good quiz, i thought i would have got more than 6 out of 10, just shows people they might not be as good as they think they are.
good article though.

actual answers, because I already forgot what say, C and D were. (i.e. instead of “C and D are both correct”, it should say “C – Unique Value Proposition” and “D- Call To Action” are both correct.)

This fails at the first hurdle.

“What are the only two things a web page can do?”

A “web page” is a construct/containter not content. This may seem pedantic but given the focus of your survey you need to ask the questions clearly.

To that end a “web page” cannot “do” anything, the user does things. The content on the page can encourage a user to do something.

You need to rephrase the question along the lines of

“A user reading the content on your web page will do only two of the following options;”

Also, the words “convert” and “qualify” are ambiguous as they have many interpretations.

All rather silly really.

Bryan,

Nice quiz. Any chance you could provide a hardcopy? The data was so good that I wanted to look at it again!

Thanks,

Martha

You lost me on the response to my first answer by citing the work of Jared Spool.

Good quiz. In addition to a back button on the answer panes, they should repeat actual answers, because I already forgot what say, C and D were. (i.e. instead of “C and D are both correct”, it should say “C – Unique Value Proposition” and “D- Call To Action” are both correct.)

Some of the questions you ask don’t actually have simple right or wrong answers… but, overall, this quiz was/is a great idea. Nice!

(Oh, I only scored a 6 out of 10… but that’s in part ‘cos I sometimes failed to realize that I was dealing with checkboxes [multiple responses] rather than just radio buttons. A bit of a usability issue there. )
