Show me the sales

July 14, 2006 at 5:44 pm · Filed under Entrepreneurship, internet, marketing

I’m really curious to see how much sales does a page like this generate:

You can’t miss them:

  • you scroll 5 screens
  • no navigation
  • guy’s picture in the top right
  • cheesy font
  • questionable css
  • stuffed with testimonials
  • at least 2 discounts and special offers by the end
  • must have the author’s calligraphic signature on it
  • sprinkled with some histeric red or blue
  • cheesy book photo
  • ps, pps, ppp^30 s
  • “FREE”
  • Save $56700

Does anyone buy this crap? Does anyone pay for it? I can’t really tell, but I am 100% sure that they have a bigger ROI than Wufoo would ever dream of.

How I wish, How I wish I got digged

Later edit, 16th July: Regarding the title of this post… I just found out about Syd Garrett. I bow and light a candle.

An article making the front page of Digg and the effects on the website it came from is jaw-dropping to say the least. It effects everything from the obvious such as traffic to the not so obvious like new RSS subscribers and dedicated readers.

Ok, so… when will somebody publish a report upon the increase of sales post to being Digged?

Traffic is nothing more than plain, dumb, clicks. More than 50% of visitors spend less than 10s on your page. Does digg sell, or not?

Turn things upside down

Simply brilliant. Too bad somebody had to pay for 140 seconds, but I guess it worths every cent.

I did however, notice a great resemblance between Argentina and Romania.
