Show Us Any Website, Give Us 5 Minutes and We’ll Identify 2 Simple Changes You Can Make to Dramatically Boost Your Conversion Rates.
June 22nd, 2007 by Mike Reining Read more about ArticlesOver the last one year, our team has worked on optimizing hundreds of sites and carefully compiling and testing results and failures.
We got pretty good at being able to very quickly figure out what was working and not working and then showing site owners how to make simple tweaks that could dramatically boost their conversion rates — and their sales.
A few successes include:
- Become-A-Lord.co.uk — 300% boost in traffic. 450% boost in sales.
- The German Language Site — Sprachenlernen24.de — 12% boost in people browing their catalogue page after a few simple changes.
Now what we want to do is offer a gift to our readers.
The first 50 people to write to us will get an email from me where I will recommend 2 things they can do to boost their conversion rates.
All we ask — is that you implement our suggestion and report back the results.
Fair enough?
To learn more — watch the video below to learn about the challenge and why we’re so passionate about optimizing site conversions.

I’m selling 3 guides on this page for fun (its been my gateway into affiliate marketing) — since I already had the free traffic from the gamesite itself it was free marketing. I know this site in its own needs work — I’ve somewhat left it behind to use newer knowledge for new website ideas. I have some of my own ideas for this page alone which I was planning to put in use soon and was curious to see what you guys might come up with.
Current stats:
The page gets about 20 hits a day and makes a sale about 1 every 4 days. To increase this I have content to add to this game section of the site but as I mentioned before — other projects and clients are taking up my time =)
I was also going to start using adwords (had tried that a few weeks ago and noticed slight improvements. I put it on hold for a bit and am planning to relaunch that as soon as google allows everyone use of their new site tracking feature — the one where you know what pages the ads are on.
I realize the current adsense ads in the content may be a conflict of interest but I’ve actually been using them to see how effective my content is for now (the theory being if people are clicking on the ads more I should probably rethink my content.)
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards,

Woops, the above was ment to be an email.…I’ll resend it to the email rather — can you please delete both of these comments?
site is for lead generation …opt in page leads to a blog that will give the reader free information such as video tutorials, tips , and articles on real estate investing.
i have been doing some ppc to generate traffic but just started.. i have a simple opt in page to try and get people to sign up
the form is single opt in for fear that if i make it double opt in my subscriber rate would be very low
i am in the process of creating a product and would like to use the list to generate sales to my product or affiliate offers
The index page which is my landing page. About 45% of visitors enter here. Others enter at one of the products page.
The goal of my site is to sell products
Thank you very much for any help.

Please send me feedback on our site.

2) goal of the site is to get people to call us or fill out the call-back form for an injury claim.
I would like to know about my website and want to know what to do to increase my sales.….…etc.
If I’m not too late to the party, I would love it if you could give my site the once over..
..or is it the ‘twice over’?..(2 suggestions!)
Thank you..
Hi,
I’m into the usability business for some quite some time also. But I’m sure mindvalley labs has more to say. I hope you can take a look at this website (www.macmall.com) and give comments.
