You’re just going to love this one! I’m sure you’ve heard of subliminal advertising before. You know it’s when words or images would flash up on the screen to persuade your subconscious mind to act.

Well, I’ve got an interesting twist on this idea that could be very effective and might help to encourage your potential customers to take certain actions on your website.

Have you ever seen those ticker tape messages that appear at the bottom of your web browsers window? If you’ve not follow this link and you can see an example of the script I’m about to give to you.

Can you see any potential here for subliminally commanding someone to “try your product risk free today”?

I’ll let your marketing skills put this script to the most effective use

Here’s how to install today’s script…

A. Select all of the text in the first box below then copy to clipboard (Ctrl+c) then paste (Ctrl+v) it above the </head> tag of your HTML source code.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
  // Script created by http://icoder.com
  // Subscribe to freescripts@icoder.com for this
  // and many other essential web site scripts.

  scrollingDelay = 100; // milliseconds per character
  scrollingText = "Place here your scrolling text";

  function scrollStatus() {
    if (scrolling_text.length > ++scrolling_count) {
      window.status = scrolling_text.substr(scrolling_count,
        blank_text.length + scrolling_count);
    } else scrolling_count = 0;
    setTimeout("scrollStatus()", scrollingDelay);
  }
  blank_text = (new Array(20)).join("     ");
  scrolling_text = blank_text + scrollingText;
  scrolling_count = 0;
  scrollStatus();
//-->
</script>

B. You should place your text in the line:
scrollingText = "Place here your scrolling text";
You can edit the scrollingDelay to change the scrolling speed.
(default is 100.)

That’s all there is to it, follow this link and you can see how it should look when you’ve installed it on your web page.
