What! You’re STILL Not Using Splash Pages?

I’m still amazed that so many people don’t use splash pages. People will surf and surf, and “work their fingers to the bone, and what do they gey? Boney fingers! Boney fingers!”

Wait! Oops! I forgot what I was suppose to be doing for a moment and broke into a singing chorus. LOL Be thankful you can’t hear me sing! ;-)

Any way, I think what may be holding some of you back from using splash pages is just not knowing how to make them. Well that’s been solved now with a great service called SplashPageMaker. I’m not going to give you a big old sales pitch or explanation, but I will tell you that it’s an awesome product that literally walks you step-by-step, holding your hand all the way, through creating unique custom splash pages from scratch. Take a look at two I created very quickly for RoyalSurf…

I bet you can do an even better job because lately my creative flair has taken a ride far, far away and I’m not sure when (or if) it’ll be back. ;-)

The best part is that on the fly, you can change any element of your splash page, background color; text size, color, font; add a picture or remove one; etc. A perfect way to test what works and what doesn’t.

And, they even host it for you! No need to have your own domain or hosting, no fiddling with learning to upload pages to a server… it simply couldn’t be any more simple than this. Check out SplashPageMaker and pay close attention to the special offer that you will be presented… I’m still kicking myself for foolishly passing on it because as soon as I saw the full benefit of being upgraded, I did so at full price.

What is it that they say about hindsight again?  Oh, yeah. It’s 20/20 (meaning you can see much clearer).

You’ll find SplashPageMaker here.

Improve Your Traffic Exchange Results 500%?

Are you using splash pages or squeeze pages to advertise? If you’re not I’ll bet your results are less than stellar in the traffic exchanges that you advertise in.

What’s that? You say you “are” using a splash page but it’s not doing so hot either?

Well, here are a few questions I have for you about the splash pages you are using…

Are you using the same program provided splash pages that everyone else are using? If there are hundreds (or worse, thousands) of other people promoting the same pages as you are promoting, how will you stand out from the crowd?

How old are they? Like all advertising, you need to freshen your ad campaign from time to time. Even great splash pages need to be changed and swapped out occassionally. Just like commercials on TV and radio are changed periodically, you need to change your splash pages too. That’s because after a while people get use to them and tune them out.

Have you tried tweaking the text, colors, images, etc? Not all splash pages are created equal. There are good ones and bad ones, just as there are commercials that work and those that don’t work so well. And, sometimes just changing a word or a color can make all the difference to the response you get.

Tweaking splash pages successfully will require that You test your splash pages to see what works and what doesn’t work… which means you will need a good tracker to track your results. The key thing to remember when tweaking is to change only one element at a time and then test.

If you change more than one thing at a time you won’t know what resulted in the change in response (good or bad). Both are important to know. The bad so you can remove it and avoid repeating it in the future. The good so you can duplicate it in the future.

Please do yourself a favor and grab this Free guide to “What A Splash Page Is & Why You Should Use One.” It’s well-worth your time because it could improve your results by as much as 500%!

No joking… Did I mention already that it’s free? ;-)
