I’m using the word “convert” here loosely because I don’t know exactly what your goal is with your website. But whether it’s to get subscribers, inform your readers, make sales, or drive traffic to offers, none of that will happen if you don’t get awesomely good at these three things we’ll cover.

Most websites don’t work. They’re like outdated billboards in the middle of the desert. The weary traveler is looking for help, but all the billboard does is mutter the exact words repeatedly.

Some of these are so commonly known; you’ve probably heard of them before.

But the real question is, are you doing them?

Others are less known but crazy effective.

And all of these have been tested and proven on working landing pages and elsewhere.

Ready? Let’s get started…

If your landing page is long enough to scroll, it needs multiple calls to action. Each section should provide a button the prospect can click to sign-up form. Never make ...

Site migration refers to any situation in which a website experiences significant areas of change that could significantly impact search engine visibility. This includes changing the site's platform, location, structure, and so forth.
