Are Your Website Titles Clear and Compelling?
Titles determine whether or not your web copy will be read. Clear page titles make it easy for the visitor to see that they’ve come to the right place. Compelling titles grab the visitor and almost force them to read what comes next.
Shipping Charge Transparency And Your Website Conversion Rate
Internet Retailer Magazine recently (July 15, 2009) reported a study of retailer’s list of planned improvements for the rest of the year.

- 67% said they would place more emphasis on exposing the cost of an order, including shipping charges, prior to checkout
