I'd post the URL to the forum they post at...these guys are MANIACS and they take pride in copying each other.

I'm sure you'd be able to find the method behind this madness there.

IMHO, the rule of thumb to follow is: The higher the price tag, the longer the copy. Just do so with as many words as you need....no more.

To quote Einstein: “Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

Had that science gig not worked out, he could have been a great direct-response copywriter.

This question will never be answered. Every copy is different and so is every product. Just because long copy worked for one product doesn't mean its going to work better for every product and vice versa.

I would think this is common sense. John Reese did atest where he did long copy versus short copy with a video. He said the short sales page with the video out performed the long copy by triple.

I'm just really tired of people asking this question. It's really tiring because if you search the forum you will see its been answered 100000 times. There is no answer. Test and see what works best for your product.

Three out of four of those are Clickbank programs. That should give you enough to go on...

Thanks for the input so far. I met one of these ebook authors/merchants and was absolutely shocked at what he was making. It's obscene. His ebooks suck quite frankly. He has the grammar skills of a 10 year old. I read one of his books and thought "no shit, Sherlock" the entire way through it. I can't believe people pay for this crap. The way he sells the ebooks via long copy pages like that has to be the key.

It's called targeting your audience. The people buying "get rich quick ebooks" aren't all that bright to begin with. Anything fancy will just confuse and scare them away.
