Comment on Ten Conversion Testing Questions Answered by Nimrod Elias

Nimrod Elias — Wed, 22 May 2013 09:00:55 +0000

Thanks! great post, very helpful.

Nowadays, I’m wondering about useful tools and methods for testing native language developed mobile apps. So far I didn’t found any method that I truely believe in. Is the method is different from website’s A/B testing? Are heat maps and additional tools can shed some light over CRO?
I’m not sure if I got the amount of testers right, because as a role of thumb couple of hundreds of testes and the same amount for control group should be just enough to reach 95% confidence level…

I think that the general message is not to be afraid from tests…

Comment on Amazon Product Ads: Good Idea? Bad Idea? by Jonf

Not seeing any good reason to use this yet. People click and check the price and go away or maybe come back all before even thinking of buying from your ad. You will get clicks, yes, but that will cost you. You will get sales? Well that is what I thought but still just clicks and no sale..If you can’t get a sale before the free $75.0 is used up then well do you want to keep paying out of pocket for traffic that doesn’t buy?

II had one of my sites blacklisted by Google for basically the same thing as J C Penny I never even received a message in my Google webmaster stating what was wrong, The was site was just gone one day, I have notice though J C penny’s site is still up and running still at the top of the page, guess if you a big corporation and spend a lot of money on ppc and other advertisement the Google penalties do not apply.

Bye the way your article is awesome I gotten more valuable info from your smaller article then I have from SEOMOZ forum or highranking.com.

Thank you

Comment on Consumers Spent 247% More Time With Shopping Apps in 2012 [Infographic] by Tom Murzenski

A previous Flurry report published here (http://www.getelastic.com/why-html5-should-replace-native-apps-for-ecommerce/) showed app use in e-commerce fell within the 5% “Other” category. Is this this 247% growth still a tiny absolute number?

Comment on What Happens in an Internet Minute [Infographic] by Joseph Anzai

When I look at the infographic, the area that really interest me is the YouTube uploads. You see, I have two children, a 14 year old son and a 12 year old daughter and both are on YouTube constantly. Whether its is to watch the next music video, learn how to apply makeup or figure out how to do a Geometry problem they are getting this information through YouTube. This is not watching Television, this is tapping into exactly what they want to watch and what they want to learn. Just imagine what their generation is going to do 10 years from now. They are learning at a much faster pace that the generations that came before them.

Thank you both Tim and Linda.

Comment on Is Content the Next Email Marketing King? by Joseph Anzai

I agree with Paul Feakins when he says “hard to write copy that good” but I do think that a valiant effort should be made. I’m getting very tired of the picture ads popping up when I open my email. I will normally just hit the delete key, but when I catch copy that grabs my attention with a good story, I’m hooked. In fact, I may share the email with others by forwarding the email, or It may be through a verbal regurgitation.

Content is King whether in an email, blog post or on your website.

Great article!

Interesting. I would have thought the amount of people using social log in would have been higher. Thanks for the great advice!

Interesting stuff, just goes to show how important reviews are. I’d be interested to see what percentage increase more than 1 review would give.

I find you can’t get people to open an e-mail these days. Of COURSE you need great content in that e-mail campaign or people aren’t clicking.

Love the paradox of choice reference. More is not better.

Cheers,

Jeff

Comment on 3 Great Examples of Responsive Ecommerce Designs by Jeff Maystruck

Jeff Maystruck — Tue, 14 May 2013 05:10:42 +0000

Responsive mobile sites are a must these days. I can really appreciate a site that responds to the size of screen. I have a weird version of a BB so I need these sites to load properly on my phone.
Every time your website doesn’t load properly you’re giving a potential customer a great reason never to come back.

Cool post.
