Internet Business Blog By James Schramko

Thanks for the great gift James. I would love to see more conversion test results. Are you testing any other colours?

Simon I tested several before this test.

I am a BIG fan of your IM information and goodies for your list James. Again thanks for sharing this with us all. I’ll be using this for sure. Appreciate it! Real value…..

Awesome, thanks for the use of this ‘Schramko’ approved higher converting button.

Pure gold James. 7 figure marketer takes HEAPS of testing and literally gives it to his readers. That’s very like you but very “un-like” so many others.

Thanks

Hey James. I’m testing the “Schramko’ button on my blog right now. I think it will do good things for the conversions. I’ll let you know the results after I’ve given this baby a good run!

Thanks Shram!

cool Joel. I hope it works well for you. Also I am keen for other testers to post results of split tests for alternatives.

This just shows that people don’t want to be spammed..this was an great experiment. James

James,

Thanks for the free button. Testing is always a good thing to be doing, but it sure helps when you’ve already run a statistically valid test with favorable results.

Hey James, This is awesome mate! Hey I am trying to get this up on my Aweber account and can’t figure it out. It has where I can paste in the button image but when I saved the image and uploaded to flickr so I could get the image url, it only save the no spam part and not the flash.

Was curious as if you knew what to do? Thanks! I’ll owe ya one.

Thanks James, I’m going to test the button now.

I’ve made similar type small changes on my websites and you are exactly right when you talk about the compounding effect… It’s awesome!

Why not I’ll test the button! My initial thought of the button when I saw it on your site was it was some kind of advertisement, obviously after reading this post it isn’t… I’ll set up the test and keep you all posted!

A few words about colours for buttons… nature created red mushrooms with white spots and they are poisonous, so red comes forward and can be a warning, an alert. Orange brings our emotions up to the surface, good for somethings where feelings are important, better if a lighter orange. Yellow activates the mental thinking we do, suggesting intelligence! Pink if it’s pale is soothing and calming,but it will slow things down. Bright pink is a more friendly and fun, a lively version of red. Brown is not really a good colour to use on websites as it recedes into the background like the earth. Unless it is a lovely rich warm brown like good chocolate and coffee! But then it will have a touch of red to lift it.

I just split-tested this on my opt-in page and it DECREASED conversions by 12%. Thanks alot.

Josh good thing you tested it. How many visits did you test it on in what market against what other button? This would be handy to know. Thank you.

I’m surprsied that the button improves the opt in rate so much. I wonder if it’s due to the size of the button and flashyness of it. I know when I see the word Spam I automatically think Spam in my head whether or not it has the word “No” in front of it.

test results often give us results we would not have guessed. Thats why we should always test.

Hey guys,

I am using it on my site and it is working really well. I have an opt in for an SEO ebook and this gets snapped up a fair bit but the button has helped this even more!

Thanks for this. I really appreciate this button.

Thanks for the button, looking forward to getting Traffic Grab later tonight. As usual, solid advice!

Hi James,

Great result with this!
It really is amazing how colours can have a powerful impact on when we customers buy or are happy to part with their emails.

I’d be interested to know what customers think ‘spam’ is. Would they think regular list emails were spam?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

Yes some people will call permission emails spam if they are not framed right or expected. I’m testing new variations now without the spam message and also different framing of the expectation.

For most people they dont want their email sold, rented or pummeled with messages not relevant to what they signed up for.
