Has Anyone Experience of McAfee Secure

    Hi,

    I have been contacted by McAfee offering me the so called benefits for my ecommerce site if I sign up to McAfee Secure.

    They have not been pushy and in all honesty it sounds quite good, but I am a sceptic and cautious and wondered what experience or benefits other ecommerce owners may have had.

    Full details available at;

    www.mcafeesecure.com/us/technology-intro.jsp and www.mcafeesecure.com/ms/?p=7 for more info

    Essentially, by signing up McAfee they allow you to add the McAfee Secure logo to your site and insert some of their code.

    This means that the so called trusted McAfee secure symbol appears next to your site description in the search engine results and places your listing above all other none subscribing websites to those searching who have a McAfee account, which they claim their are several million web users who have McAfee accounts that search for ecommerce sites.

    We signed up when it was hackersafe. Apparently they did a stack of AB testing and when it was on, the conversions increased. SImple.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Roughly what % increase in unique visitors to you put down to McAfee Secure, how much of an impact did it have?

    You have to be aware that you will sell more stuff once you have any security logo displayed on your site. The customers really like that.

    McAfee or any other but you may want to get one to have more respect. Shop around and see the prices: Comodo and TrustE are other options to consider.
