How often prospects submit your form without filling the fields Or enter abracadabra instead of their email address?… You autoresponder certainly rejects this form, but the prospect will see an error message.
Why confuse them when you can prompt to enter a real email before submitting the opt-in form. It’s possible with a simple javascript code.
Suppose you have an opt-in form like below:
<form method="post"
action="http://yourdomain/autoresponder">
Name: <input name="name">
Email: <input name="email">
<input type="submit">
</form>
You can add onSubmit code into the <form>-tag to verify the name and email with the javascript below:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
function verifyForm(theForm) {
var nameRE = new RegExp(
"^\\s*[\\w]+(\\s+[\\w]+)*\\s*$",
"i");
var emailRE = new RegExp(
"^\\s*[\\d\\w\\.]+@[\\d\\w\\.]+\\.[\\w]+\\s*$",
"i");
if (theForm) {
if (theForm["name"]
&& ! nameRE.test(theForm["name"].value)) {
theForm["name"].focus();
alert("Please enter your Name");
return false;
}
if (theForm["email"]
&& ! emailRE.test(theForm["email"].value)) {
theForm["email"].focus();
alert("Please enter your Email");
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
//-->
</script>
<form method="post" onSubmit="return verifyForm(this);"
action="http://yourdomain/autoresponder">
Name: <input name="name">
Email: <input name="email">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Copy the codes on yellow background and paste into your opt-in page. Change the name and email field-names (in red) with the field-names of your real form.

Pop up windows are still effective ways to get subscribers, especially in niche markets. Creating popups on your website is as easy as pie.
Pop-up windows are great tools to have in your marketing arsenal since they are so effective and inexpensive to implement. Pop-ups can be used to bring attention to sales/promotions, recover abandoned shopping carts, generate leads/email newsletter subscribers and much more.
The common argument you’ll hear executives and designers make is that most people block pop-up windows. But the modern overlay (pop-in) windows are not blocked as they are a part of the web-pages.
The most spectacular and popular scripts are “LightBox” and “GreyBox”.

I’ll bet a cookie you’ve seen those instructions on downloading PDF (ebooks) like “Please click this link with the right mouse-button, then select the “Save Target As…” option from the popup menu and save the file in your PC”.
But why to force your customers to make extra actions if you exactly want they download your PDF?!
Also what to do with all those links inside email messages?.. |
I would like to set up a download page on my domain in order to give away a free ebook on generating traffic.
I want to use a link to allow users to DOWNLOAD PDF files. But when I set it up the PDF file gets directly loaded into the browser. Is there something I can do to ensure that when people click on the link on a page or in an E-mail message that the PDF file gets immediately downloaded to their disk and not loaded in their browser?

This article describes 2 ways to let them download PDFs by just clicking a link.

Typically, online marketers have utilized standard “Split tests” to try and improve marketing and merchandising approaches. A split test allows a marketer to split traffic across different versions of a web page in an effort to identify topper-forming marketing variables.
During these testing scenarios marketers try to identify promotions that significantly outperform others, while testing titles and headers for the highest level of customer engagement.
Unfortunately these testing method doesn’t consider where are the people going from.
Customers from different sources could have different purposes and behavior. So it would be better to send web-surfers from Google, Yahoo, MSN to one test pages and marketes from WarriorForum, “How To Corp” forum to another test pages.
