Persuasion is a critical aspect of successful web-based marketing, in part because you and the site visitor aren’t actually conversing face-to-face. So, your site text has to be pretty convincing and targeted to persuade that visitor to (1) stay on site and (2) perform the most desired action (MDA).

Here are some tips that’ll persuade the most reluctant site visitor to convert. Use them on your site and watch your bounce rate plummet (a good thing) and your conversion rate soar (an even better thing).

1. Money, family and health.

There are 3 topics about which people want to know more: Money, Family & Themselves

How can I make more money, save more money, get more for the money I have?

How can I create a happy family life? How can I improve my relations with my kids or my spouse? How can I plan a fun family vacation?

How can I make myself feel better? How do I cure a wart? Why do I feel dizzy when I stand up quickly?

People want answers to these questions and a million other questions related to their finances, family and to their health and the health of their loved ones. Even better if you can combine two or more of these topics in your site text, i.e. How can I get my family to eat healthier food while I’m on a budget? Triple shot!

Regardless of what products or services you provide, slot them into one of these three categories to keep visitors on site longer. Consider this: the longer you keep a visitor on site, the more opportunity you have to persuade them to purchase your nutritional supplements, your guide to investing for college or how to prevent substance abuse from ruining your marriage.

2. Create compelling headlines.

You never know where a visitor is going to enter your site. It may be through the front door – the home page – or it may be through a side door – a landing page. Regardless, a compelling headline should spark curiosity or provide an answer to a specific question.

If you provide the answers in the headline, visitors are more likely to read further and, ultimately, be persuaded to make a purchase.

3. Information is persuasive.

Even a well-trained chimp can identify hype. That’s why those long-form sales letters are so 2002. Even a novice web surfer can smell this kind of hype a mile away.

Instead of selling a steaming pile of hype, provide good, useful information – something the prospect will appreciate. However, don’t give away the store. Craft your informational content in such a way that the reader understands the problem and maybe even the solution. However, provide just enough useful information for readers to realize that they need the solutions you provide.

For example, if you’re a certified financial planner, provide information on the importance of diversification in any financial portfolio. It’s good, accurate, conventional wisdom. Diversify assets. Just don’t tell them where to put their assets. They need your consultation to design the perfect portfolio to meet their financial objectives.

Stop selling. Start teaching. But teach just enough that the reader sees the value of your products or services.

4. Use action words.

Would you rather “Learn All About Anti-Oxidants” or “Discover the Power of Anti-Oxidants?”

Action words compel action on the part of the reader. Learning is boring – something you did when you were in school. Discovering has the hint of adventure, something new, something that’s been hidden away and you’re going to provide the road map to this wonderful new product, service or information.

Use these words to persuade site visitors that what you have to say is “state-of-the-art” or “ahead of the curve.”

5. The Call to Action.

The call to action comes at the end of your sell pages and it serves two critical purposes.

First, an example of a good call to action:

Discover the secrets of debt reduction. You’re just a click away from financial freedom. Learn more.

Now, the first purpose of a call to action is to motivate or persuade a site visitor to perform the most desired action. In the example of above, the call to action is short and sweet. It uses an action word (Discover rather than Learn) and it motivates the needs-driven buyer to take action to get out of debt.

The second purpose of a good call to action is to provide the reader with directions on how to perform the action. In this case, the “Learn more,” in blue text indicates a link to additional information – something regular computer users recognize immediately.

So, by clicking on the blue “learn more” link, you actually provide directions for the reader to follow, telling him or her how to perform the MDA. This is a critical piece of information that’s often missing from the call to action. It’s not enough to persuade a site visitor, you also have to tell that visitor how to do what you want them to do – engage your services, read your message or buy something.

6. Mark-downs.

We all like to save money. Place items on your home page and landing pages that are discounted. In some cases, sell the product at cost or even below your wholesale cost. These “sales” are called loss leaders and they have one purpose – to persuade the buyer to make the purchase.

Loss leaders also keep visitors shopping so you, the site owner, hope that buyers search your site for other good deals, but deals on which you make a profit. Give it away to keep visitors on site and make it up with additional sales.

7. Customer or client testimonials.

If a buyer is happy with your products or services, and they’re kind enough to send you an email thanking you for your prompt service or the quality of your goods, use these testimonials to persuade others to buy the same product or service.

Amazon.com, everybody’s favorite on-line shopping destination, encourages customer reviews of products. That takes guts. You’ll often see products that reviewers hate. They slam the product and actually push away potential buyers.

Conversely, these buyer reviews point out benefits of the product and the satisfaction of the buyer. Nothing persuades more strongly than a referral from a buyer who’s happy with his or her purchase. (Side note: Some Amazon reviewers actually have followings on the site. Simply by clicking on “Read All My Reviews” you can see the two hundred other reviews that buyer has posted to the site. If they’re all negative, the value of the review you just read should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, Intel’s employees were caught red-handed posting positive reviews for Intel products. Oops.)

Customer testimonials from John H., Las Vegas are pretty much worthless as far as persuading a buyer to perform the MDA. Who is John H.? How do you know the testimonial wasn’t written by a paid copy writer? That’s why the reviews posted on Amazon carry more weight. You read reviews from good folks, unhappy buyers and trolls, (a.k.a. haters) who post negative reviews on everything from your blog to Amazon’s buyer reviews.

8. Solve a problem – FREE.

Offer something that solves a problem for the site visitor and give it away. Think of an e-book download on how to “Ask for a Raise and Get It” positioned on your job board home page as bait. Visitors will thank you for the advice and may become loyal followers simply because you helped them with a problem.

Of course, be sure to point site visitors to the additional tools – the premium-priced tier – to recoup the cost of developing that free e-book download. The key to persuading a visitor to perform the MDA is to be helpful. That builds trust AND a stable customer base.

You may even get a few bookmarks for your free give-away. It may be bait, but it works.

9. Build trust.

The most effective means of doing this is to offer a money-back guarantee. “If you aren’t satisfied, we refund your full purchase price, including shipping and handling, no questions asked.” This “no-hassle” guarantee has made LL Bean a household name.

A money-back guarantee is one of the most persuasive tools the web site owner has in his or her arsenal. And it’s a pretty safe bet that most buyers will never return an item. Too much trouble. So, a money-back guarantee persuades the buyer to make the purchase, but even if that buyer isn’t 100% satisfied, chances are s/he won’t take the time to return the product. It just isn’t worth the time.

10. Provide customer/client support.

Tech support, billing support, order support – all of this information should appear throughout the site in prominent positions, i.e. above the fold on all product pages, on each page of the check-out sequence, on the home page.

Customers want to know that there are human beings behind the site’s presentation layer. Customer or client support – especially with a toll-free number – is extremely persuasive.

And, when customers use this support and get the satisfaction or reassurance they’re looking for, they remain loyal, repeat buyers.

The art of persuasion depends on several factors: honesty, transparency, truthfulness, quality service and constant reassurance. Build these persuasive features in to your site text and site architecture and you’ll see sales increase, customer care costs decrease and you might just might give Jeff Bezos (Amazon’s founder) a run for his money.

Persuasion is nothing more than meeting client or customer expectations. Do that and you’ll enjoy site success and profitability.

Your site’s headline may be the most important text on your entire site. In marketing, there’s an old expression: The headline is half the job.

It may be a bit of an overstatement, but a good headline captures the attention of site visitors. In fact, improve your headline and, guaranteed, you’ll see your bounce rate drop.

So, here are 10 tips for crafting the perfect headline – what to do and what not to do.

1. “Who else wants to make $1 million before dinner tonight?”

This headline has become a marketing cliché and the introduction to just about every hype-filled, Glazier-Kennedy, long-form sales letter, complete with annoying type fonts and endless “testimonials”. This headline insults the intelligence of a chimp. Avoid the hackneyed clichés that litter websites above the fold. We aren’t idiots.

2. Create curiosity.

We’re a curious bunch so a headline like “Is Apple Gonna Introduce New Laptop Soon?” raises curiosity – especially among tech savvy users.

3. Make a good first impression.

The headline, whether on your home page or landing page, is often your first introduction to the visitor. So, be welcoming and helpful in your headlines and sub-heads on all landing pages.

Welcome to Eczema – Relief Once and For All

60% Off Everything – Hurry Up! (that makes a great first impression)

Discover the Secrets of Debt Management

All make a positive first impression through the use of words Welcome, a big sale and free information.

4. Solve a problem.

How Many Collection Letters Are Too Many?

Tax Problems Are No Problems for Acme Tax Services

0% Down on Any Car On The Lot (down payment problem solved)

5. Use action words.

Which site are you more likely to stay on?

LEARN ABOUT FREE RADICALS AND ANTI-OXIDENTS (ho-hum)

or

DISCOVER HOW ANTI-OXIDENTS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE

“Learn” is boring. “Discover” has the sound of adventure to it. Also words like “Improve,” “Guaranteed,” “Succeed” and other positive action words add punch to a good headline.

6. Keep headlines short.

Site designers and copywriters recommend headlines of no more than seven words. I think even that’s too many. The fewer words the better. Which is punchier?

Philadelphia Wins Super Bowl

or

WE WIN!

That one’s a no-brainer. We all want to feel like winners.

7. Promise answers to questions.

“Can I Stop the Bank from Foreclosing on My Home?”

“Why am I depressed all the time?”

“ How much does it cost to get a divorce?”

These headlines most frequently attract needs-driven buyers – buyers who have an immediate need and are looking for immediate solutions.

8. What’s in it for me?

That’s what every site visitor wants to know. So tell them.

Solve PMS Problems The Natural Way

Make Your Money Work Harder for You

Discover Secret Dating Tips

Before you launch into your sell, answer that all-important question: What’s in it for me? This will pique curiosity and provide the foundation for the sales text that follows.

9. Use testimonials as your headline.

”Acme copy machines saved our company $40,000 in one year.” T. Smith, CIO at Rank, Inc.

That’s a grabber with authority. It comes with a name, title and company. On the other hand…

“I love Acme Shampoo products because they make my hair shine.” JR, Kansas

A real stink-a-roo. It’s a fake testimonial.

Credible, verifiable testimonials make excellent headlines. The fake variety make terrible headlines when you’re trying to build credibility and trust.

10. Use strong keywords in your headlines and sub-heads.

In HTML code, an h1 header is the largest while h6 text requires a magnifying glass for a human to read.

For search engine bots, an h1 header carries much more weight than smaller text. h2 sub-heads are stronger than the regular-sized text that makes up the rest of the site’s corpus.

So, by placing your strongest keywords in h1 and h2 headers, they get more bot respect. Of course, if all your text is elephantine (h1 and h2), the bot will slam your site for hype and for trying to fool the machine by making every word of site text equally important. Choose your opportunities with care.

You’ve got less than 10 seconds to convince a site visitor to stay on-site and dig deeper into what you’re all about. That’s not much time.

So, if writing isn’t a strong point, hire someone to create your headlines and sub-heads. It may cost a few bucks, but you’ll see a nice ROI as that grabber headline lowers your bounce rate to 20%.

And that’s VERY GOOD.

Site owners typically spend a great deal of time optimizing the site’s home page, as well they should. The home page should be optimized, both for search engines and conversion optimization.

But not all of your site visitors come through the front door – the home page. In fact, a visitor can enter your site through any number of portals – any number of site pages. The page where a visitor lands after clicking on either an organic search result, a link from another site or blog, or a paid link (AdWords, for example), is called a landing page.

So, indeed, optimize that home page to the max but also recognize that a site visitor may land on another page of your site and never even see the home page. So what does this mean to a web-based business?

Well-crafted landing pages are critical to site success. Get it right on your site’s landing pages and web success is much more likely.

1. Every landing page should act as a home page.

Because you don’t necessarily know on which page a visitor will begin his or her site experience with you, treat each potential landing page as a home page.

Now, this doesn’t mean you start from scratch and repeat the same information that appears on your home page over and over. The information has to be framed within the context of the landing page itself.

For example, if you designate your SERVICE OFFERINGS page as a potential landing page, that page should include basic contact information and more detailed descriptions of the goods or services you provide. It’s called context of search.

2. Make sure the visitors know where they are.

First, make sure they know what site they’re on. Easily done with a company logo, banner or some other identifier that tells the visitor, yes, you’ve reached AcmeRoachControl.com.

Second, make sure the visitor knows that s/he is NOT on the home page but, instead, has landed on the SERVICE OFFFERINGS page. Highlight the visitors location on the nav bar or use a big, honkin’ 20-pt. header to identify the page on which the visitor now rests.

3. Make the home page accessible from any landing page.

The site visitor, after reading about Acme’s bug control services, may want to learn more about the company itself and, more than likely, first time visitors (the best kind of visitors) usually go back to the beginning – the home page.

This is a simple matter of accessibility. The easier and clearer you make navigation, the more useful your landing pages.

4. Make each landing page a lead capture page.

Check your site’s bounce rate. If it’s up around 70-80%, folks are stopping by but they aren’t sticking around. Why? You’ve got less than 10 seconds to convince a web searcher to stay on your site.

Use big headlines on each page. The headline should be designed to inform the visitors where they are and, more importantly, convince them to stay on your site and explore. The longer a visitor stays on site, the more likely you are to make a sale or get a phone call via contact information.

Charts, graphs, photos and other visual aids are also excellent ways to (1) provide a great deal of information in an easy-to-understand format and (2) provide visual interest.

Big blocks of text – especially in a small font – are like death to a landing page so design every page to be simple, easy-to-absorb and visually interesting.

Bullet lists, highlighted text, headers and subheads, all direct the visitors’ eyes as they scan the landing page.

5. Make the content relevant to the link.

If a visitor reaches your site via an AdWords cube offering Pest Control, they better not land on a page describing your E-Z PAYMENT PLAN. The link that brought them to your site advertised Pest Control.

Make sure the content fits the link. Make sure it’s relevant to the visitors’ search or they’re going to bounce for sure.

6. Place a trip wire at every access point.

A trip wire, on the battlefield, sets off an explosion when a wire is broken. On a landing page, a trip wire can be anything from FREE SHIPPING to 30% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER.

The trip wire is designed to push the visitors’ buttons – to save money, to find solutions, to find the perfect products or service providers. Each landing page should employ a trip wire – an attention grabbing headline, pix of people like them (identification with your client base), a special offer (LIMITED TIME ONLY creates urgency) – something – ANYTHING to keep that visitor from bouncing.

7. Paid advertising and landing pages.

Some SEOs define a landing page more specifically as a page upon which visitors land after clicking on a paid advert. I don’t disagree. These are, indeed, critical landing pages but to me, any page that can be accessed and indexed by a search engine is a potential landing page.

And, most certainly, a landing page accessed through an AdWords link or paid link from another site should be highly optimized for conversion. After all, you’re paying for that click or that pricy block of pixels on another site.

Most SEOs agree that needs-driven buyers use paid links more than browsers who bounce from one site to another.

So, optimize any landing page to the max to convert visitors to buyers. I hate hype, but these visitors have a need for your products or services so a slightly harder sell works in closing the deal.

Once again, let me mention the importance of simple, intuitive navigation so once visitors have absorbed the landing page sales message, they can easily learn more about you.

One critical tip: include contact information on every page – or at least a link to the CONTACT US page on every landing page. Easy accessibility closes more sales.

Don’t spend ALL your time optimizing the home page. It’s important, for sure. But any page accessible and indexed within a search engine has the potential to be the start of the visitor’s experience with your web site.

A well-crafted landing page kicks-off that experience on a positive note.

The System Security virus can be extremely frustrating. This virus hides on your computer until you are online. When this virus activates, you will get a pop-up message that says you have a virus. You can’t close the pop-up message, and it won’t let you click anywhere else on your screen. Your computer is dead in the water until you click on the message. If you do click on the remove button, you will wind up being taken to a website where you’ll be asked to put in your credit card information in order to buy a product called System Security.

Fortunately, the system security virus removal process is a relatively quick and easy one.

1. The first thing you need to do is get out of the system security virus trap. Press Control-Alt-Delete to bring up your Windows Task manager.

2. From there, you will click on the tab labeled “processes.” This shows you the list of all tasks that are currently active on your computer. You’re looking for a process with a name that you don’t recognize that doesn’t fit any of the other programs you were previously running, and that isn’t a system process. Click on it and then click “end process” to stop the process.

3. Once you’ve ended the process, you need to remove the virus. The best thing to do, at this point, is to restart your computer. Click “Start” and then “Shut down” and then “restart.” Your computer will then restart.

4. When your computer gets to the very first screen, usually a black screen with white letters that may state the brand name of your computer, get ready. You need to hit the F8 key in order to bring up the computer’s boot menu. Once the boot menu is up, you will see a list of boot options. You need to select the one that says, “Safe Mode.”

5. Your computer will then start in Safe Mode. It may take a while, as your computer has to start in a very specific sequence when starting in Safe Mode. When your computer does come up, you will do a couple of things. First, you will run your antivirus program. This program should detect the System Security virus and remove it. If it does not, you may need to update your antivirus program.

6. After you’ve run your antivirus program, you should also run your spyware or malware detection program. This will insure that any spyware that may be on your computer, including any spyware that may have been installed alongside the System Security virus, is removed as well.

7. Once you’ve cleaned your computer, you can then restart it. The System Security virus removal process should be complete, at this point.

***If you notice that you are still getting the System Security virus pop-up after you restart, update your antivirus program and your spyware detection program and repeat the System Security virus removal steps.***

Website hacking has been around ever since w3 were introduced to the public in the 80s. While there may have been a time, at least in the early days, where hacking was rather simplistic and was comprised of little more than getting someone’s password and creating virtual “Graffiti” on their site, today’s hackers are much more sophisticated. More advanced techniques were introduced, which are dangerous and unpredictable, of course.

It’s important, first of all, to understand some statistics about website hacking. Around two thirds of website hacking is done not for ideological purposes or even graffiti, but rather for profit. People hack websites today in order to gather information they intend to use for nefarious purposes and for their own financial gain.

Strangely enough, then, just under half of all website hacking incidents occurred with non-commercial sites like governmental or educational sites. This may be, at least partially, because these types of organizations are more likely to report a website hacking attack, although that is not always the case.

When it comes to commercial sites, Internet-related companies tend to be top targets. This includes e-commerce sites, media sites, search engines, and even search providers. Part of the reason these companies are such a huge target is the fact that they often have databases full of all sorts of personal information that can generate billions of profits.

Issues

There are few issues when it comes to hacking; here we have highlighted some of those which provoked the hackers to do so:

1. The biggest issue when it comes to website hacking is the issue of personal information. Some websites store a large amount of personal data, from name and address information to credit card information and probably purchase history on the site. A website hacker can use this kind of information to steal the identity of the customers.

2. National security is another concern when it comes to website hacking. Some statistics suggest that as many as two thirds of hacking attempts aimed at the U.S. Department of Defense each year are successful. If this statistic is true, website hacking poses a very real and present danger, not only in the U.S. but in countries around the globe. Website hacking, then, is not only an issue of financial concern for some companies and for some individuals, but of safety and security of people around the globe.

3. Another important issue in this area is the source of website hacking. While outside attacks do make up a good percentage of website hacking incidents, many incidents are also caused from within. Whether it’s a disgruntled employee, an employee who is out for her own financial gain or a person who has been unwittingly recruited by a third party, a company’s personnel are at least an equal risk as those outside the company when it comes to website hacking.

4. Complicating the issue is the public image of the hacker. The stereotypical hacker is a computer geek who sits at home and breaks into secure websites just for fun. Unfortunately, this public image rarely matches the reality. Like we said before, most website hacking incidents aren’t about curiosity; they’re a dedicated effort to make money. Website hackers generally aren’t young kids experimenting – they’re often individuals with criminal purposes. It’s easy to commit crime and just escape using the internet. In most cases, they’re not acting as a “robin hood” of sorts, either. They are out to benefit themselves, and only themselves.

Above all, it’s worth mentioning that website hacking is illegal, regardless of who does it and for what purpose. Penalties can be severe, often very severe, for people who are caught website hacking.

Prevention

Preventing website hacking can be a challenge, especially if your company or organization doesn’t have expendable resources that can be invested in specialized security equipment or staff. Still, there are some important things you can do to prevent website hacking, or at least minimize your risk.

1. A company mush train their employees well when it comes to hacking. This occurs on two levels. Firstly, a company must let its employees know that hacking their website will be dealt harshly. If a company is willing to press charges against a hacking employee, say so. This may prevent an employee who is thinking about website hacking from ever doing it in the first place. Obviously, this doesn’t protect against outside threats, but it may help reduce the risk of internal threats.

2. The other type of training a company needs has to do with their IT department. Yes, your IT security engineer needs to be up to speed on the latest security techniques. However, your website programmers need to have a solid base of security knowledge, as well. There are some instances in which simply configuring a website a certain way can reduce the risks of website hacking, and your team needs to know how.

3. It’s also important that you keep your website scripts up to date. Use the latest and most stable version of the web software you’re using, so that potential security holes are closed. While new holes are often discovered, staying up to date helps reduce the number of potential successful website hacking scenarios. The same holds true for the operating system running on your web server, as well as any firmware running on your network equipment or your firewall and content filter.

4. Physical security of your systems is important, as well. It’s a lot easier for someone to walk up to your web server and make hacking changes than it is for them to invent some sort of SQL injection that will make those changes. Physical access to your servers and to systems that have access to your servers is key.

5. How you configure your website applications and permissions are key in preventing website hacking, as well. For example, if you use MySQL, set your usernames and passwords up in a way that you don’t allow maximum global permission to scripted users. Making sure your user groups have exactly the right permissions not only helps to grant users the tools they need, it also helps to reduce the risk of website hacking.

6. As with just about any type of computer security, it’s important to use strong passwords for administrative accounts. You should make sure those passwords are changed at regular intervals, as well. A well-developed password policy that is enforced systematically greatly reduces a number of IT security risks.

7. Keeping a strong firewall system in place is important in preventing website hacking, too. If you can use a filtering system that has access to a blacklist of potential hacking sources, you can reduce some of your website hacking risk. In addition, firewalls protect other systems that may be vulnerable to hacking or to other attacks.

None of these prevention methods are foolproof, of course. However, if you are diligent about them and able to implement them, you will greatly reduce the risk that a hacker will be able to attack your company’s website.

Youku is one of the largest video sharing website in China, & with millions of Chinese watching it everyday, it might be quite slow for internet users from other countries to view videos during the peak hour, so here are some tips that might help you in making Youku to load faster :

Avoid Peak Hour

Only visit Youku when it is midnight or early morning in China. Bad news for anyone who stays in Asia (I am Malaysian & I have to stay awake halfway through the midnight to watch my favorite movies T.T) This really speeds up Youku loading speed!

Keep the video loading rather than pause

If you press pause & wait for the video to load, it will stop once it reach certain parts of the movie (This happen frequently especially when you are trying to watch something that takes a lot of time) Keep the movie loading, wait & it will load till the end automatically.

Choose any alternatives that let you watch movies online

Google Video, Veoh or Megavideo, there are few video sharing sites that you can choose rather than Youku.
