Today, Saturday November 2nd, The topic was We Love Splash Pages!
Why? Because they are what works in Traffic Exchanges! People that don’t believe exchanges work either haven’t used splash pages, or haven’t used TEs at all.
Most surfers are tab surfing. That leaves 1-2 seconds when the pages change and when the surfers click off of them to get their first impression. If all they see is a bunch of tiny words and a collage of images, then they’re not really seeing anything.
This is where splash pages come in: Quick loading and quick and easy to see pages. Pages with a little bit of images to grab the viewers’ attention and just enough features/benefits that they WANT to see.
Marci got into a little more detail explaining how to get your images to load faster. She also reminded that your button should link to a new tab/window so the viewer can easily get at the follow-on page(s).
Then we gave feedback on several of the attendees’ splash pages.
So come and check it out! There’s LOTS of great info and a little entertainment. You can listen to the Spreecast recording here:
