I have recently noticed a drop in new registrations in spite of my new first page SERPS for more competitive terms. So after I stumbled upon Lee's new and VERY SEXY blog... I mean great job Forrest! I would love to work with you on my forum. I just applied this landing page trick using the tutorial on DreamInCode. For anyone who is having problems making it work, I hope you didn't make the same mistake as I did and try to call the term variable by putting $terms in the welcome header. You have to call it using {5}. Many thanks for this useful mod! I'll update you on how it improves my registrations. Thank you so much!

Since then, I’ve been doing some more experimenting to increase my member conversion and AdSense CTR (click-thru-rate). It’s not big surprise, but I found that having large box with a lot of white space and 18+ size font inviting the user to register results in a significant increase in conversion rate. I’ve also seen a slight bump in CTR for my 336×280 AdSense block next to the text. [...] […] A few weeks ago I posted at ForumTrends about creating landing pages for your forums.

I will post more when I have more details as he is just now starting to build the framework for it, but it should be very cool. When I sent him your link he got all excited about what he could do with it to improve conversions and session times. I am looking forward to seeing some great changes! Thank you for sharing the insight. :) Laura Okay, so we have been brainstorming on this a bit, and we are going to try and build on it some.
