Ten Ways To Convert Your Clicks
 By Navneet Kaushal
Won't it be just wonderful that every click that we get on our sites would turns into a customer. Afterall we work hard only to get more customers. Every visitor is a potential customer, so it is important that every click that we get must turn into a customer.
But 'how' that is the question. YSM here has offered ten landing page tips to turn your visitors into customers:
Ten tips to convert your clicks:
1. Tell them why they should buy from you
Clarity of your value proposition is the most important factor in determining whether a customer buys from you or not. Ask yourself the question: "Why should I buy from this site?"
2. Keep 'em with you
Protect your landing pages from the #1 threat to conversions: site flow disruption. After identifying a unique and compelling Value Proposition, you must ensure that you express it throughout your sales process in a clear, consistent and compelling way. Eliminate site flow disruption to help maximize conversions.
3. Don't try to say too much
Don't clutter your landing page with unnecessary details. Instead:
• Clearly state your key message using as few words as possible
• Use summary descriptions, sub-headings, bulleted lists and short paragraphs
• Adopt a standard one-column format for easy reading.

4. Make it simple
Improve the user experience with a site that is easy to navigate. A simple page layout that employs a clean visual and straightforward design is best. Here's how:
• Design your site with a clear hierarchy with color and contrast for easily legible text
• Use meaningful and high-quality graphics (don't clutter with too many)
• Use breadcrumbs to let visitors know where they are on your site
• Employ a clickable logo that takes the visitor to your homepage
• Use color to distinguish between visited and unvisited links.
Just as important, make sure you don't:
• Employ horizontal scrolling
• Direct links to new browser windows
• Have flash-based content unless required.
5. Call them to action
Focus on one primary action per screen (don't stuff too many products onto one screen). Make the call-to-action button clearly visible without having to scroll; don't bury it under pages of information. Consider using tabs or a pop-up box to consolidate information.
6. Get specific
Provide product details and a large product image while displaying incentives-such as free shipping and warranty information-high on the page and close to the product. Don't discourage visitors by asking them to register on your site.
