Here's something I'll be testing to try & boost CTRs for on-page links pointing at my custom Clickbank sales page.

It's an animated .gif image (+/-).

Examples:











Both the text & image would be a link pointing to my target page (sales page, checkout, etc...).

I think the key (as usual) is having a simple page with no distractions, now my feeling is, creating a subtle distraction on purpose (animated gif) will grab the traffics eyes a lot quicker, If anything from curiosity (animated +/- image).

I will have only 1 animated .gif image for approx. every 800px (pixels) of page height, otherwise I think it would create too many decisions for the traffic to process (lol). I got the 800px (pixel) height from w3schools.

I found this article interesting (couldn't find the original source/article from Science), here's a quote:

Here's an example of one way to use the animated .gif image in content.


Again, the text affordable automobiles & the animated +/- .gif image would be hyperlinks pointing at the target page & only one instance of the animated .gif image per 800px (approx. height) in page height.

I don't usually add a lot of text on my pages, so I'll most likely only have a single instance of the animated .gif per page.

Anyways, this is my plan & things might change as I test how it works. The main thing I think that will help boost the CTR is to make sure the page is simple looking to begin with, then create a small distraction to get the traffic curious about the anchor-text, I want all eyes on that anchor-text next to the animated .gif image.
