This video below is a little bit better.  The audio quality for the first half is better (not great, but better).

The presenter keeps things nice and simple by capturing a PowerPoint presentation in this web video and it seems fairly professional.

Unfortunately the video (and this does date back to 2007, so you have to take age into consideration) loses all the ground it created when it goes into its ‘demo’ as it offers up very bad electronic 80’s music, but worse yet shows how to edit a rather extra basic looking landing page.

This video is definitely due to be removed or archived, and if you are reading this article and there is no video here any more, then hopefully the owner of the video has done themselves the favor of removing the video. 

It certainly isn’t going to help people learn how to convert sales for adware or spyware products and couldn’t touch more mainstream topics like pushing people to an electronics blog, converting people on a political poll, or enticing people to leave lead information.

The main thing about this video is that it is really mis-named.  It should not be called the Landing Page Secret Video.  A better title might actually help to set the expectations at a more appropriate level.

However, the demonstration or example provided by the video serves to prove that the site sponsoring the video is less than credible.  They are trying to convince people that putting video on a landing page can help convert people. 

On the surface that is true.

They are also trying to convince people that you need not have to pay an exorbitant amount for video and audio production to convert people on a website.

Again, on the surface that is true.

Unfortunately, the video example is not likely to convert anyone to do anything and in so failing as a video itself, it actually serves to convince people not to trust the website it is pitching!

In fact, I challenge you to watch the entire video and still feel inclined to even go check out the website at the other end.

This video does not perform well and is likely harming the site on the other end more than it is helping.  It certainly isn’t going to help a person learn how to develop higher performing affiliate pages regardless of what they are trying no matter if it is genko extract, hydra-anything, or even discount PS3’s.  The video just doesn’t work.  It proves that if you are going to be in the business of teaching people how to convert, you better no how to execute the strategy yourself. 

You need to place your affiliate banners and links within your feet and here’s how to do it.

It’s very simple, all you have to do is include your affiliate links and banners within your actual article.

I repeat, put your affiliate links and banners with in your website article.

Today it is very easy to organize your articles in ways that affiliate links and banners do not take away from the actual contents. They did not have to be placed in there in a way that looks like an eyesore or distract your reader from reading the actual content.

You can wrap text around banners and images, and float those images to the right or to the left or even in the sensor of your content.

You can even set up templates or zones within your content where these banners and images can be placed on a regular basis along with captions to help promote conversion on those links and banners.

Starting this month, at Softduit.com, they will start to show people through a series of tutorials how to achieve these types of results using a number of different content management systems and free software tools that makes it very easy to edit content but more importantly placed advertising or affiliate links throughout that content in a way that doesn’t detract from the content.
