I get a better conversion rate without my picture, then I do with my picture on my ezine articles! haha

Damn, maybe I should put up a hot girl and watch my conversion rate go through the roof??

    Nah, buy one of those graphics with a teacher or a professor and put that instead. You'll increase conversions to the roof and it won't even cost you to much

      I always thought that it was against the TOS of most stock photo sites for you to use the photo you brought as either, a photo for a testimonial, or as the authors photo ?

          But don't over do it as it'll come across as being tacky.
          Actually, it does come across as tacky but people who use those don't know it.

          You got it! If you want people to trust you and view you as an expert in your topic, then look the part. If not with a tie, a clean photo of you in a tshirt and suit jacket is enough. You're only using a head shot, so dress up the part they will see and put yourself in front of a suitable background - in other words, one that doesn't say "party time".

          It's called - dress for success.

      nope, could be that the picture is from a dishonest angle...

      I'm not kidding, there was a study where they compared honest looking facial traits and dishonest ones. There was a graph going from "dishonest" to "honest"

      Will post if I find it

    Nah, not many people are that ugly.

    That's because the picture is at the wrong place on those articles - it's quite away from the link you want people to click. And all the images naturally attract user attention....

    So, when you don't have any picture viewers just have better chances to read the resource box, because they don't get visually distracted by anything (everything is plain text).
