Test Your Landing Pages
Written By: admin Posted On: May 9, 2007 Tags:
Every once in a while an Adsense ad will pop out at me, and I have to click it– just to see what that particular advertiser is selling. Tonight I was browsing a website when I decided to give his ad a click. I was greeted with a sales pitch that wasn’t even legible! For God’s sake, if you’re going to spend money on Adwords make sure you can at least pitch the prospect something!
Edit: Looking at this setup again makes me think he based the ad’s position on hard pixels rather than screen %. Since I have a widescreen or other resolution he didn’t test, it doesn’t align up right.
The Takeaway
Before you go spending money on an affiliate campaign, test your landing page in every browser and resolution you can think of (at least the two majors). If I was using some obscure web browser, I might cut this ol’ chap some slack. Make sure you don’t have something covering up your sales letter. Practice solid HTML/XHTML/whatever you use, and you shouldn’t have a problem to begin with.
is that the ad you clicked on in the picture? i’m not quite following bc that’s an adbrite ad. there’s a lot of crap in adbrite and it doesn’t take much to get approved thru them. the only time i’ve been disapproved for an ad is when the publisher rejects it directly. but that doesn’t mean i can’t get on their site via a network ad >=D (at least for a little while)
The picture shows what I was greeted with after clicking an Adsense ad, a landing page for an Adwords advertiser.
He was paying for an Adwords campaign with a landing page that you could not even read, see what I mean?
The network ad is tricky, evil!
