Am I Right to Assume This ...?
However, I have this very same sales letter (literally nothing has changed) on a stand alone site. This sales letter gets close to a 5% closing ratio.
Why?
They're the same EXACT sales letter promoting the same exact product. So why does the sales letter on my website not convert as well as the one on the single site?
My only logical conclusion to this would be that the visitors on my larger website are too easily distracted with the amount of information on there that they probably read my sales letter and then go back to the site to try and gather more "free" information from the articles.
Essentially, I'm LOSING sales due to my website!?!?
Whereas the stand alone site is just a sales letter therefore there are no other pages they can visit. It's either buy the product or leave the site.
I know content is king (otherwise I wouldn't have nearly as many visitors), but I believe having your sales letter on a page within your authority site is a BIG mistake in my opinion.
The stand alone sales letter gets all of its traffic from smaller 10 to 15 page mini-sites that have banner ads (and other contextual links) that link to the sales letter.
I also removed all links (and the navigation bar at the top) from the sales letter on my larger site to try and keep them focused on the sales letter. Still, it hasn't worked.
And I don't think the visitors to either site are very different from one another. They all have a particular medical condition that they would like healed. So I doubt if one site is getting a different group of visitors than the other site is.
Could someone chime in and help a brotha out? Am I right to assume that a sales letter on a multipage authority site does not convert as well as a sales letter on a stand alone site?
