Dollars are a little tighter this year than last, so learning new ways to stretch marketing dollars is vital. Improving your landing pages so they convert more sales is a dynamite way to boost your Return on Investment (ROI). Here are a few tips for making your landing pages more effective. The goal is to make your landing pages more persuasive, more focused, more complete -- and provide the testing feedback needed to measure the success of your efforts.

Testing your ad copy and your landing pages can significantly improve your paid search efforts. Of course, building a solid keyword base, creating an optimized account structure, and executing a well-planned bid management strategy are also crucial.

Of course, getting to the top isn't so simple, but the notion that once you arrive at the top, traffic will ensue is a hypothesis hard to deny. Local search results don't play into this scheme. They have variables such as size of the map, and definition of a region's center that combine with trust, a citation, or sometimes what I call "sureness factors" to determine what businesses should be recommended.

Although the general idea of uncluttering is powerful throughout the decision process, this testing theme has an especially powerful impact on improving visitor awareness.
