    How much ATTENTION and THOUGHT do you put into TEXT?

    Seems like most webmasters are concerned with layout. But it's TEXT that closes the deal. How much time and effort do you put into text writing?

      Text is more important to some surfers and images mean everything to others - You really have to try and put the two together together -

          Good point. But I often think that the graphics OPENS the possibility of a buy, but the text CLOSES the buy. If people were closed by graphics you'd have graphics only sites with very minimal text... I don't see much of these. For a good reason, I suspect.

                I find text more interesting to work with than pics/graphics, so lots.

                          Nothing but a spammer... that's hate, corky! I thought I was a writer than can write articles, site text, and other promotional materials for $5 or less. Although it's probably going to be hard, I'll try to live my life without your respect. I know, it's almost impossible... but I'll try.

                                  Site text is definitely the MOST important element to a design.

                                  While the picture and the layout FRAME the message, the message CORE is still with the text. It is the CALL TO ACTION that makes it happen.
                                  cat cash* | tr -d '\r' | tr -s '/n' > money

                                    I try to put just as much thought into the text as I do into the fancy. and not so fancy, graphic images. I'm focusing specifically on galleries at the moment, so the sell to the surfer is very important. I try to keep in line with the text on the site I'm promoting. It's my belief that keeping uniformity there will only help boost sales.

                                    Getting the surfer worked up and interested in what you have to offer is just as important as what you have to offer

                                    Spend you some brain.

                                      text really helps

                                      you can really gt and keep their attention.

                                      painting a picture with some properly placed text will certainly increase your conversions

                                          I agree that text closes the deal, text links convert better than banners for me if the right words are used

                                              Put shitloads of thought into text. Not just the words itself but how they are presented. If you have an eye catching phrase to pass unto the surfer slam it at them with a nice size 5 font in bold arial black of comic sans ms in a color that contrasts highly with the background color. Then underneath in a smaller font at default head parameter font color and default font family hit them with details. Then underneath have the "CLick Here BLAH BLAH BLAH" shit in a totaly different color and bolded comic sans size 4.


                                              Sounds complicated and retarted but god damn.... it works!

                                                If so he's a spammer everyone loves. Nothing but inspiring stuff spewing out of his fingers on here. Rarely do I ever see anything from him non industry related. Definately a hard worker too.

                                                    I personaly love text. Graphics are too slow loading and take time.

                                                    Text always converts the best for me.

If people were closed by graphics you'd have graphics only sites with very minimal text... I don't see much of these. For a good reason, I suspect.
                                                      If you're talking a paysite, I believe the same! The sponser/paysite has to have good text on their site, the graphics open the deal, but the text lets the potential customers know what they are getting into, and it's helps them feel better about paying for it! If you have no text, you have no way telling the customers that there are X amount of movies/pics in the site! I believe that text is a vital part of any deal!

                                                        I try to spend as much time possible revising text. Its quite a hard job when you think about it. Has to be short, concise, to the point, yet also be appealing and evocative.

                                                              a good deal...especially as I work with sub niches/real fetishes it is really good search engine food plus there are words and phrases that a person with a particular fetish are waiting to read before they sign up.

Make it too long and he will get bored and won't read the whole thing and go away. The most important thing is to describe what the surfer will see when he arrives at the 1st tour page of the sponsor. The 1st impression is always the most important.
