New Forum: Conversion Optimization

Quite a cool sub-section to add I believe. Looking forward to threads!

Thanks for start such a great topic.
I want to add my question here that how do your conversion rates stack up against your competitors? and What is conversion rate optimization ?

Very excited you guys finally added this forum! I'm looking forward to contributing and helping out. I've been doing CRO for several years, and have even wrote two books on the subject

Thanks again!

Good one, I created a thread on this topic a couple of years back here but it didn't get much traction.

I am sure it will work now that we are in a new web era.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent idea Matt! I'm noticing too many outdated tactics around the forum and it would be great to start seeing more updated, 2014 methods for better conversions. Look forward to the nuggets we'll find here soon - Thanks

Yes, I agree, this is a good section to have.

Thnx for useful info....

Excellent idea!

Ok so what's the go to conversion optimization list?

I found Annie Cushing's list for seo, and Jon Cooper's list for link-building is there a conversion optimization equivalent?

Hey there. I wrote a blog post about increasing conversions on your landing page...

Anyways I have my own blog so if anyone wants to check out my post you can read it here:

One of the common problems most of the webmasters come across is negligible conversions although the traffic is high.

How can you increase your conversions? Here is what the experts say :

1. "Improve your formatting and styling to encourage people to read your content." - Neil Patel

2. "Segmentation is all about Relevance." - Chris Goward

3. "Follow statistical theory for your conversion optimization" - Alhan Keser

4. "Which concepts will trigger a desire to convert? It depends on your niche." - Nick Kolenda

5. "While there is a 'best practice' that suggests that less steps is better, we all know that even best practices need to be tested." - Claire Vignon

6. "The most usual ways to create a sense of urgency consists of using deadlines and claims of limited supplies." - Elena Dobre

7. "Replace boring calls to action with CTAs that show people what they're going to get."- Brain Dean

8. "There's an old-school copywriting formula based on 4 'P's - promise, picture, proof, and push. Great.. but there's something missing, and it's the most important element of all when it comes to high-performing landing page copy." - Brian Clark

9. "When we give people too much information, or too much choice, we limit their ability to take any action at all." - Chris Lema

10. "Stay ahead of your competition and make sure your site is perfect on all devices." - John Rampton

11. "Bounce rate, Conversion rate, Average order value etc are ratio metrics because they are in the form of ratios." - Hunter Liptrap

12. "Marketers must figure out how to engage their online audience within the first 10 seconds or they are off to a competitor site." - Pam Moore

13. "CRO carries the burden of managing the entire user interaction, as opposed to SEO, which arguably only brings the visitor to the "front door." - Alexander Kesler

14. "The act of measuring an audience will change the way the audience behaves." - Brian Massey

15. "While we have to be very data-driven in this job, there's no substitution for human-led evaluation of a website." - Peep Laja

16. "Think of CRO as a systematic way to figure out what's preventing your visitors from doing the things you want them to do on your site - then, fixing them." - Jen Havice

17. "If you're set on the carousel, for whatever reason, there are ways to improve upon it." - Alex Birkett

18. "Before testing, understand what it is you hope to gain by adding human faces. Is it a reduced bounce rate on the home page? Is it more pages per visit? Is it more repeat visits?" - Linda Bustos

19. "Conversion rates vary from month to month and traffic and traffic sources can change as well. Some data clearly indicates that the new form outperforms the old one." - Michael Aagaard

20. "The mega-image tests were not a last ditch attempt to save a badly performing page. Nor, were mega images added just because they're trendy now." - Justin Rondeau

21. "When people develop strong, deep feelings like surprise, anger, fear, disgust, sadness and joy around an experience or message, social sharing becomes impulsive." - Martin Jones

Hello! Do you accept sponsored threads in this subforum?

There are many tips out there such as having an effective call to action above the fold, incentivizing your website visitor to sign up, using a button color that stands out etc. The importance of A/B testing is also known because simple color or font changes can lead to an increase in conversion.

However, the most effective method of converting a visitor is to appeal to them psychologically. Personalize your content, segment your traffic and understand them. Get them to make a small commitment initially and build that trust factor to encourage a bigger commitment in the future.

Great!, I'm looking for this kind of topic for a long time, hopely can find how to boost conversion rate at my website, thank a lot
