Major Squeeze Page Blunders That Cost You Money

By Anderson Rowlett


Your squeeze page is probably the most crucial page of your business website. This is the first page that folks see when they arrive at your website. It is where you put the foundation for achieving your objectives. What, exactly, is a lead capture page?

Squeeze pages are generally anything that you want them to be. It may be a page on which you obtain addresses before allowing people to see the content of your site. You can make it the first page of your weblog. You could use it for a sales page. It's the page that targeted traffic flows in to so you can introduce them to the rest of your work. There's a great deal of flexibility here. This implies that there is also plenty of room in which you can make lots of mistakes. These are some of the bigger blunders that you might make and what you need to do to prevent them.

1. Ruining your headline. You want your title (or your headline) to really grab your traffic's curiosity. It's not easy to write headlines or titles. If you have the budget for it, you ought to hire a professional copywriter to do this job for you. You have to keep your title/headline as to the point as possible but it also has to be descriptive and compelling. If people do not enjoy your headline, there is absolutely no way that they'll proceed to the other content you have written. They will simply click out from the page. So work hard to make it right.

2. Lots of people now are setting up squeeze pages that appear and work very much like every other page on their web sites. It's okay to do this when your site is a personal blog simply because that's typically the first page of your blog anyway. When you are a business, however, you'll help yourself by using a different format so that you can capture people's interest.

3. You shouldn't try to overperform on your lead capture page. A squeeze page needs to have just one aim. What that goal is, is wholly your choice. When you're building a list, make the whole page about obtaining the person's information. If you wish to sell something, make it about selling that certain product. If you ask too much of the traffic flowing in to your webpage, all that could happen is that they'll get confused. You'll see a reduction in your conversion ratio because your traffic will not know what they ought to be doing first. This makes them quite a bit apt to just click away.

4. Don't forget about simple design concepts. For whatever reason people think that the louder and fancy a lead capture page is, the more successful the page will be. Don't yield to peer pressure, even if it feels truly tempting. If you do not know what you must be doing for your design, you'll want to hire a professional designer, to build your page.

Don't ever cease working. You shouldn't let up on your landing page. Keep on perfecting it!
