CTR: a new approach of Internet advertising

there are several programs available on net to "Click n Earn". all you gotta do is click on the links given to you daily and read them for 30 seconds. they pay you a decent 0.10 cents per click. these are tiring and long programs as you have to wait to accumulate at least $10 to withdraw money (and the transfer to any of the payment sites like paypal, moneybookers etc) takes around 1-2 months of time.

some of the sites running these programs are

I was reminded a couple minutes ago of how getting people to
click the links in your emails are a small but important element
of achieving higher email conversion rates.

The reminder came from an email I received from a world
renowned direct marketer with a very impressive track record.

I won't name him in order to "protect the guilty." But there's a
mistake made in the email that no doubt will dampen response
to it.

(Admittedly, an assistant may have prepared/sent the email but
it's a mistake nonetheless...)

The email did a good job of selling an upcoming live event. It
mentioned quite a group of top business experts invited to
speak, which would prompt many to sign up in itself.

But right at the end of the email where the call to action is, where
people would decide to visit the website or not, a "non-live" link to
the site was provided.

In other words, to visit the site most people would have to jump
through an extra "hoop" in order to visit the site, because the
link isn't clickable in a good percentage of email clients.

The format of the link provided in the email text message was like so:
www.domain.com

In my case, I would have to first open my browser and copy/paste
the link into the address bar, just to visit the site.

In my email client (Pegasus), the link could easily have been rendered
"live" (clickable) by including a properly formatted hyperlink, like so:
http://urpc-uremployer.blogspot.com

(This forum renders them live but many email clients don't.)

A simple difference which can have a big impact on email response rates.

In addition, here are two other simple ways to boost email click-through
rates (CTRs).

1) Through testing I've found that also providing an html link along
with the full link in text format, tends to improve CTRs.

In other words...

Link

tends to get better CTRs in text emails than the following by itself:

2) Simply including links multiple times throughout the message,
rather than just once, can also improve email CTR's.
