Conversion Marketing–5 Tips for Making Your Website More Effective

Conversion marketing is the art and science of making the most of your website visitor’s experience on your website. When you use conversion marketing strategies you will find ways to get better results from the traffic you are already getting to your website.

Most people will visit your website only once, and most will not make a purchase on their first visit. If you can find a way to encourage more of your visitors to stay on your page longer, and interact with your content, your chances are better that they will return and eventually make a purchase.

In order to improve your website’s conversion rate you’ve got to know what it is today. There are a few ways to measure your website’s conversion rate. You can multiply the number of sales by the number of visitors and then multiply that by 100 and you’ll get your base conversion rate. There are some changes that you can make to your site that will result in a significant improvement to your conversion rate.

Let’s look at five tips that you can implement to make your website more effective:

1. Keep Testing

Use a website analytics tool such as Google Analytics to test your website’s efficiency. Which pages have the highest bounce rate? Are visitors abandoning your forms? Is your website working properly in all of the various browsers?

Then you can test other things such as landing page copy, buttons, images, etc. Virtually every element that the user interacts with on your site will have an impact on conversions.

2. Optimize your copy

Content is King. If your visitors are not responding as well to your copy as they could be, then you are losing money. Test your copy and make changes accordingly.

3.  Niche it down

Personalize your website content to appeal to your audience. Every market segment has different preferences. Show that you know what makes your prospective and current customers tick, by offering content that speaks their unique language.

4. Keep it clean, easy to find & error free

Make it a regular practice to clean up broken links on your site, provide site maps and intuitive navigation schemes, and search capabilities to make it easy on your visitors to find exactly what they need in as few clicks as possible.

5. Deliver content in flexible formats

Given the multi-media capabilities of the web you have the option of presenting your content in ways that your audience wants to consume it. Do they prefer video? Maybe they would rather listen to an audio than pore over an eBook. You might look into whether or not a mobile app would be helpful to your market.

As I said in the beginning of this article, never stop testing every possible element of your website. If you can find better ways to reach the visitors you already have and convert them at an even higher rate, your profits will increase without spending an additional dime on advertising.

Using Google Analytics to Track Your Conversions

It can be said without exaggeration that tracking Your website’s conversion rate is one of the most important components in your online business. Let’s say that you have a product and you came up with a price that you thought made sense, set up the sales page and started sending traffic to that page. When you started making sales you figured that was pretty cool and then moved on to the next project. But then you are hanging out with a fellow Internet marketer who is sharing an embarrassing story about how he never split tested his product’s price or the landing page until recently, and when he analyzed the results of the test and changed the price, sales increased by 120%!

Yes, you can make a simple change to you landing page, even to the color of a button and see drastic changes to your site’s conversion rate, but how do you track your current conversions so that you know what’s working and what needs tweaking? Well, fortunately for you, Google Analytics can do all of this and more for free. Let’s look at how you can use GA to track your website’s conversions:

After you have signed up for your Google Analytics account you will get a tracking code that you will need to install on your website. If you are running a WordPress blog, there is a handy Google Analytics for WordPress plugin that you can install that makes adding the tracking code quite simple to install.

Using Google Analytics to track conversion rates

Step 1: Create a ‘Thank You’ page for the product that you are testing conversions for and copy and paste the URL for that new page into a Notepad file because you’re going to need it soon.

Step 2: Using the Goal Tracking feature in Google Analytics

From within your website’s profile in GA, click on the ‘edit’ button to the right of the link for your website.

You will be brought to the ‘Profile Settings,’ page for your website, and if you scroll down just a little bit you will see a section called, ‘Goals.’ Google Analytics allows you to create up to 20 conversion goals for each website profile.

Click on the ‘Add goal,’ link.

Give your goal a name, such as the name of the product, and then under ‘Goal Type,’ choose ‘URL Destination,’

Here is where you will put the link to the Thank you page that you created earlier. If the enter URL to that page is, http://mycoolblog.com/thank-you, then you would paste “/thank you/” as your goal URL.

It’s as simple as that. Now you just have to wait a few days before you start seeing results because Google Analytics does not work in real time.

Now that you know how to set up basic goals using Google Analytics, you can set up goals to track newsletter subscriptions and other actions that visitors might be taking when they land on your website.

Well, hang on and keep reading because you’re about to learn three hot tips for more effective marketing using Internet video.

1. Video testimonials from your customers

Video testimonials from happy customers with specific points about what they liked, or gained can have a powerful impact on conversions. When a new visitor hits your page, you’ve got to find a way to break through their initial hesitation and distrust. If they see videos featuring people just like them who have purchased your product or service and had good results they will be more likely to be willing to give it a try.

2. Person on the street encounters

Candid, unrehearsed videos of ‘average’ people talking about your product or service is also a powerful persuader. These types of videos can very effectively get your message across in an engaging and entertaining way while at the same time providing solid social proof that lends more credibility to your business.

3. Product/service reviews

4. Include annotations in your videos

Annotations placed at strategic intervals in the video help anchor the viewers’ attention and underscore what the person in the video is saying. Putting the call to action and the URL in an annotation is a powerful technique because now the viewer is both hearing it and seeing it at the same time.

5. Don’t forget a compelling call to action
