Well while browsing the internet, I came accross this post by Zac Johnson, so all credit should go to him on the find. However, I think the importance of this find needs to be shared!
Well as you can see, certain colours can invoke certain emotions to people. How can this help your probably thinking? Well imagine if your selling green herbal tea, and you want to invoke trust from your visitor. Then you would use the light green colour, which should make them trust the page more.
I’m not sure if this is real, or if it even works – but I’m gonna test it! I’ve found a campaign with a sweet $20 payout per lead, and I’m going to test 3 things:
1) Direct Linking
2) Normal Landing page
3) Color Landing page
And then I will report back with all the nitty gritty stuff. I’m predicting that the Color landing page will deliver best, but in this industry – you never know! I’m going to be using Yahoo and MSN AdCentre as I was recently banned from Google AdWords (pending investigation) which I will post about soon. I’ve actually grew quiet fond of these two other networks and can see my self sending a lot of volume there way!
I will be using Prosper202 to track my campaigns and get some stats out in realtime as these two networks don’t update as often as I’d like. Not only that, but Prosper202 can offer some very useful information about the campaign, including which keywords are converting and how much they’re making, and how much I’m spending on them. Best of all, it’s free!
They offer two types of tracking; Hosted and self hosted. Now for obvious reasons, I suggest you take the self hosted route. It’s not a resource hog, and is fairly quick to get installed. Just make sure you upload it in binary mode. Have a quick play around before you start using it too, or use the hosted version to play around on. Don’t send any real stuff through the hosted version however. They may be able to see your keywords and use them – but I’m not accusing them. Better safe than sorry ‘ey?
If you want to do some testing of your own, why not use this $100 coupon with Yahoo. You need to deposit $30 of your own money, giving you a nice $130 to play with. To do this just use the coupon US2300 and your all set. This is for the US market only. If your aiming for the UK, there is a link to a $25 one on my resources page! With this coupon your not risking much, and you’ve got a lot to gain. It could be the start of your super affiliate life. If you do have great sucsess with it, please do let me know by dropping a comment!
Stay tuned for the updates, I will need make the landing pages, and create the campaigns in YSM and MSNAC. Remember to subscribe to my feed and don’t forget to tell a friend to tell a friend!
Looking forward for the updates. This is something that I am willing to try if it works.
