Is Your Website Losing Money? - #infographic





"If you're not using strategic testing to optimize your site, you may be pushing potential leads away. Your website could have untapped potential for even more review. Here's what you need to know:



Your same marketing dollars could be converting more sales: Companies spend 90x more on acquisition than optimization. Money spent recruiting visitors to an un-optimized site is a game of hit or miss. Leading the right customers to a tailored site, however, can boost conversions and capture formerly missing sales.



Surprising elements may be limiting your income: Could you see a 400 percent lift in conversions by removing one image? One company did. You may be surprised what text, image, or colors on your website are losing you money. A/B testing removes all doubt and optimizes your website for highest profits."

How To Create an Awesome WordPress.org Page for Your Plugin

You've just developed an awesome plugin for WordPress and you want to share it with as many people as possible. To do that, the WordPress.org platform seems to be the best choice as it’s the official WordPress plugins repository.


But submitting your plugin to WordPress.org is not enough to gain users: you must introduce your plugin in the best possible way to let WordPress users know what your plugin can do.


A complete WordPress.org page will make your plugin more attractive. You will gain more users and these users will know how to use your plugin.


Why Create a Good Plugin Page?


Once a WordPress plugin is installed, a short description can be displayed on the Installed Plugins page of the administration panel thanks to a correctly formatted comment, placed in the main file of the plugin. While this is a good way to help your users to remember what your plugin does, it doesn’t help you gain more users.


Before deciding to download your plugin, users generally check your plugin’s WordPress.org page in order to find out what it can do. Users will look at the description of your plugin, so you should describe precisely the features of your plugin (we will see how in a next part). But users will also want to know if your plugin is easy to use: several screenshots and a FAQ are useful for that. When you release an update, your users will want to know why they must download this update (does it fix known bugs or eradicate security risks?), so be sure to include this type of information as well.

The Top 10 Personalization Strategies for Non-Retail Apps

The ability to personalize a user’s experience is one of the greatest advantages mobile apps have over mobile websites. While the lines between mobile websites and apps continue to blur, apps can leverage device-specific functions like geolocation, push notifications, cameras, photo libraries and user contacts for creating personalized experiences.


The majority of mobile personalization platforms focus on retail and increasing sales and conversions. Non-retail apps can also benefit from personalization to keep users invested and engaged. In this article I present strategies and tactics to consider when interweaving personalization into your non-retail apps.


You Don’t Need Big Data or a Complex Architecture


Sure, collecting user and behavioral data coupled with complex algorithms to deliver highly-relevant experiences is the Holy Grail of personalization. And for that reason I think many developers shy away from personalization considering it too daunting. While such platforms are common in large e-commerce implementations, personalization efforts can begin without a lot of effort and still provide significant value.
