A little trick that increased my sales A LOT

    I'm sure some of you know this trick, but if you don't you'll be amazed at how much your sales go up.

    If you are an affiliate, you know the object is to get people from your page (the landing page) to the product or sales page.

    Many people try to write these long presell pages to, I guess, rank higher in the serps. The problem is, the conversion on a long presell page sucks.

    So, what I have done for the past few years is write 2 short paragraphs with a "read more" link which goes directly to the product.

    Most people will click the read more before they start reading anything on your page.

    I have made a TON of money selling Amazon products this way.

    Great idea ;) I had already implemented this on my blog few months later and you are right, it does gives you more readers for your main page. Infact I have also implemented this in my RSS feed, so that the more people are enthusiastic to know what is in the whole main page !!!!
    Keep it up ;)

    If I were a visitor, I would feel duped. I guess it doesn't matter because you make more money and that's the objective. I want my visitors to come back to me as a source for other cool stuff, and if I did that trick, I think I'd lose them.

    Or would I???

    What do you guys think?

    That's a great tip! That would work really well with Amazon... Because you get some one to Amazon they will likely buy something :D

    Another good tip is to link any images on the sales page or pre-sell pages to the buy now button or to the sales page (obviously it would depend where your linking from)... This has also helped me with conversions :D

    For majority of the people the purpose of an affiliate site is to earn money from every single visitor, but if you want your visitors to come back to your site again then you'll need to implement some other strategy, and not this one.

    This trick when implemented on niche sites would yield great results provided you rank well in the SERPS as r result of which you'll be getting targeted traffic, and targeted traffic means profits.

    Why don't you write a report on it and sell it in the ebooks area. Pretty sure a lot of people want to know.
