The test results are in!
We tested various types of Landing Pages with rich media, and some without. Listen up, you need to know what we found are the BEST type of Landing pages to get you leads! You may be very surprised at our test results! Once you know the results you can abandon what doesn't work and concentrate on creating Landing Pages that pull not repel. Our tests revealed that Landing pages with rich media like video, distracting flash, or animation did not produce nearly as good a response as old-fashioned graphic pages with good copy. In fact, some of the rich media Landing Pages actually irritated readers and sent then clicking away! The non-rich media Landing pages kept readers attention longer, AND got a FAR higher response rate.

-Do not use video on your Landing pages.

They get what they want and you get a valuable lead. Now go review your Landing Pages and start looking at them like a READER looks at them.
