Tremendously increasing sales

It's amazing what you can learn, even if you think you are a (somewhat) "seasoned" marketer.

The last few tips i read here on the forum in various threads. Some tips might be old and obvious - others you might not know yet.

1) Banner images versus "in text" text ads


I have several niche sites where i mainly used banner ads to advertise products from clickbank. I custom made those banners and THOUGHT that people will buy like crazy. Yes, i got the occasional sale.

So...i added "in-text" text ads to my sites where i use the "easy adsenser" plugin and simply made TEXT ads which occur within every post. The good thing is, since this is not Adsense i have full freedom to design/word them and place them in any way i want.

For example, texts like "How to cure your migraine - try it now 100% risk free. Click Here!"

Sales are skyrocketing since i track the clicks and i see that the huge majority of sales comes from the text ads and HARDLY from the banners!

2) The "Secret" Method

Believing that i am good at ad-wording - still i had to realize that my ad wording often, well, plain out SUCKS. This applies to adwords, text ads or whatever i wrote in the banners.

I read some very good posts here on the forum about copy writing and wording of ads. One thing which was mentioned quite often was the "Benefit <---> Curiosity" thing...means to induce curiosity in the potential customer and at the same time mentioning the benefit of the product.

Another good post about this i saw on the truthaboutabs site where they compared "good" ad wording with "bad" ad wording.

He used that great example of using an ad which goes like

Unique 6 Packs Abs
I struggled for years with a fat
belly, until i found this 1 secret.

Now...realizing you can use the "secret" method with almost ANYTHING!
You can sell a software and talk about a "secret" which finally solved your problem, or some "secret" to cure this or that condition.

So i rewrote all my banners and text ads to trigger curiosity. Instead of "100% risk free, money back" etc. (which is all good an fine)...i now list the main benefit first..like "Cure your Hemorrhoids Permanently!" followed by a line focused around some "secret"..like "I struggled for years until i found this secret" <-- you get the idea.

Of course there are endless ways to word this with the main goal to make them click. What about "There is a secret to stop tooth grinding which the Doctors don't want you to know! Click here for more!" ?

The last two weeks since i did the changes my clickbank sales are great!

  • George, now I'm confused. (Easy to do this early in the morning.)

    Are you just putting in "adsense look-alike" ads that are your own ads for your own (or affiliate) products? How do you make the "easy adsenser" plugin place your ads instead of adsense?

    More caffeine please. More is better.

    • Thanks for the tip! I just placed a text ad on one of my sites to try it out.
    • That plugin accepts everything, i can be simple HTML hyperlink or whatever. I actually changed the ads appearance a bit since many people are "ads blind" and ignore the typical "looks like adsense" ads.


      Some have a border, some dont...

      But basically, yes...it's similar to an adsense ad, it stands out "somewhat" from the rest of the post but not too much.

  • Thanks Al. I know George Sepich sells a script the makes a group of text ads look like adsense.

    I can stick a quick text ad in my sites in Dreamweaver. I wanted to be sure that is what George R had in mind.
