I do not immediately give up on low conversions -- I tweak the campaign constantly because that is part of PPC.

This exercise isn't a fool-proof approach by any means. What this is better than is building a product for 6 months just to find out that nobody wants it, where, 8 or 9 out of 10 times you could have figured that out using this method.

That's what you want. You offer to solve their problem in their ad. They click the ad -- validation point one, but not enough.

Now on the landing page, they've now given you a tiny bit of personal information. This is validation point two and most likely tells you that this problem you are claiming to solve is a big enough problem for them.

Nothing affordable for this type of project.

LiveBall from IonInteractive is one of the best out there -- but it starts at $1,500/mo.

There is also http://instapage.com -- but I've had some issues with it not working and it doesn't work as easily as UnBounce does.

I wouldn't use Mechanical Turk to do any sort of market testing. Those people are on there looking for ways to make money -- so they will pretend to be whomever they think they need to be to get paid.

Whereas someone who clicks on a PPC ad on Google was searching for a keyword because it's relevant to them in their personal or business lives.

Well, the problem with doing that at this stage of the process is you risk getting the initial price completely wrong and nobody clicks it.

Even though, if you had priced it just $20 lower, everyone would have clicked it.

So by putting price in the mix before you even identify a willing market, you risk missing the ball completely.

Introduce price using this method later in the process after the elementary questions have been solved.

Anything over or around 10% gets my attention and warrants further review.

I might rerun the campaign and tweak the message to see if it's consistant again and then do another one where the message is more granular to see if it's steady.

It might not be, but it's a good way to have some indication either way rather quickly with minimal work and money.

I never comment, and I hardly ever read comments, but I decided to read the comments on this post to see if Jason had replied.

Then I noticed that TechCrunch delete this comment.

This seems like a very valid comment and it's a little concerning to see TechCrunch delete it 3 times.

Christina,

What Blackberry are you using? Sometimes if you set your Blackberry browser to emulate Netscape it won't mention Blackberry or mobile. If that happens than we don't know you're on a Blackberry.

If you're not doing that, send me an email: david@mofuse.com and we'll get this fixed for you immediately.

You can change the colors of your links.

There are technical reasons (on Blogger's side) as to why the redirect doesn't work with Blogger, trust me, we'd love to be able to redirect your mobile visitors! Email Blogger and tell them to get on it!

Analytics on MoFuse for Blogs is down indefinitely, you should try out MoFuse Premium.

It's the mobile web site showing on the iPhone that is different, not the phone itself.
