Want to knock the socks of your visitors and increase
your response rate by 400%?

Science tells us there's no sweeter sound to our ears than that of our own name.

And you already know that personalizing your marketing
email is critical to getting results.

But most online marketers do that.

We want to stand out from the rest!

So let's take personalization a step FURTHER...

What if you could address users by their first name even
after they click on the link in your email?

I'm talking about personalizing your web site for every
individual visitor!

Sounds like a lot of work doesn't it?

Well,Turn emails into dollars - with one word! Articles it's not.

Let me show you how you can do this in 10 minutes and stun
your visitors into action.

SIDE NOTE: I actually saw someone SELLING this technique
for $49! So I went off and developed my own way of doing it.
And here it is for you to use straight away.

Ready for a DEMO?

Let's try a normal web page:

http://www.makingclicks.com/demo/demo_name.html

Now let's supercharge that same page with the MAGIC
ingredient: PERSONALIZATION!

Click here to see what this new page looks like:
http://www.makingclicks.com/demo/demo_name.html?David

Now try putting your own name at the end of the link:
http://www.makingclicks.com/demo/demo_name.html?yourname.

It's neat, eh?!

Now if you were visiting my site, which one would you
prefer to see? :)

Can you understand why I get triple (and sometimes quadruple)
the response using the personalized version of the web page?

HOW TO DO IT:

This web page personalization is accomplished using only four
lines of code. Simply copy and paste these into your web page
where you'd like the name (or anything else for that matter)
to appear:



You also need to personalize the URL in your email copy:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/webpage.html?

You're simply adding a "?" followed by the personalization
field (in this case ) to the end of your URLs.

Can you see why I was so surprised that someone was selling
this simple little script for $49!

Mind you, it's probably worth it given the impact it has on
your visitors.

You can also use this technique to impress potential
partners. Imagine how special they will feel when they find
out you've created a web page just for them!

This is what Harvey Segal from SuperTips.com had to say
about a proposal I recently sent him:

"I do receive lots of offers, JVs, proposals, etc.
This was one of the best presented because of the
personalization, first of the Url, then at the page
itself with my name."

These are two possible applications of this technique.
Can you think of any others?

I'd love to have you email me your own twist on this powerful
idea!
