15. Which of these makes you more interested? Website Conversion Optimization A. Product X is the best product in the market. Our customers have said we provide better results than any of our competitors. Or..... B. As the market leader you may not be surprised to find out that product X can help you lose weight. However, did you know it can also help you lose weight up to twice as fast as dieting alone? Both statements say more or less the same thing, however statement B is clearly more interesting because it talks about specific benefits of the product, it is believable, and it is talking with the customer rather than at them. Using more ‘You’ focused language is key in gaining your visitors interest. Talk about yourself too much and watch your visitors leave. Your probably went for statement B?
18. Are you afraid of your emotions? Website Conversion Optimization One of the best ways to create desire is to use emotions within your copy. Which sounds best to you? A - “You will be more attractive to women” Or...... B - “Imagine looking across the room, your heart thumping as the slim cute blonde throws you a smile that could only mean one thing. Would you like this to happen time and time again?” B – Once again the second statement is the best because it is more specific but also uses more sensory language that really helps you imagine the benefit of the product in your mind. This kind of language helps to turn an interest in to a very strong desire. You went for B again right?

The answer is they are both as good as each other!
