Microsoft, of all people, came out with a little tool that will gauge the commercial intent of any given search phrase or web site. You can check it out for yourself here… http://adlab.msn.com/Online-Commercial-Intention/Default.aspx

April 7, 2008 by 1Cat.biz · 3 Comments
While doing a little light Sunday morning reading I came across this unbelievable article on improving your conversion rate.
The article itself is titled “101 Easy Ways to use Google Website Optimizer”. Don’t let the title fool you though. The lessons taught in this article can be applied by anyone doing business online. Not just those who use Google Website Optimizer.
It’s written by “The Conversion Rate Squirrel” which I suspect is really Dr. Karl Blanks. (Who really is a rocket scientist.)
Anyway, if you want some great tips on improving your conversion rate and marketing your website in general then I highly recommend this article.

Easy Link Manager – Creating Pretty Links for Fun and Profit

What compels a web surfer or a person reading their email, to click a link?
Can a link BE ugly or pretty?
The answer is yes.
I’ve always wondered why the people who bought private label shopping cart URLs didn’t rename them after they saw what the links looked like.
Ted Ciuba’s private label cart is called AutoPilotRiches.com. Now this is a great URL for the make money from home, MLM, biz-op crowd, but if you are marketing to, say, pet owners, and your link for more information about organic pet treats is http://www.autopilotriches.com/affid=?1234567 doesn’t that look like you are going to be SOLD SOMETHING?
