Comments on: Test Tube Article: Page Peel (Peel Away) Ads – How Do They REALLY Compare To Regular Pop-Overs? http://www.no-bs-marketing.com/applications/test-tube-article-page-peel-ads-compare-regular-popovers/ Straight Talk On Internet And Video Marketing Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:33:54 +0000 hourly 1 By: Debbie Penner http://www.no-bs-marketing.com/applications/test-tube-article-page-peel-ads-compare-regular-popovers/comment-page-1/#comment-43 Debbie Penner Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:31:51 +0000 http://www.no-bs-marketing.com/?p=310#comment-43 It sounds like you tested the page peel ad with an optin form, but not with a click here button to another offer, or more information. I think you would get more accurate results if you made sure you had a version that works with firefox (the free one at my link works well with both) and did a three way test with an optin form, a link to click through, and a contact form respectively. I really don't know, but I imagine people have an aversion to actually typing something into a page peel area, simply because it closes up again, and there's a subconcious feeling that the content is going to be lost. That quality of transience would actually be an asset if it's a link to click. (Click here quick, before it gets covered up again!) Will be very curious to see the results of any further testing you do! <strong>Paul's comments:</strong> Debbie - actually, I compared a page peel with a "click to another offer" to a simple drop in form. I agree that it would be unlikely people would type anything into a page peel ad, and did not use that option. And while it would have been useful to have software that worked with both major browsers (my analytics software shows 15-20% of visitors use the FireFox browser) nothing in my testing suggested FireFox users would be more likely to click page-peel ads. So all I'd gain would have a tiny percentage of additional visitors clicking on the page-peel. Last, I can imagine several different testing options, despite the fact I only used two. The thing is, these are the two options I am using on my web site, and the two most common to the average net-marketer. My tests are only supposed to be reflective of common usage. ;-) It sounds like you tested the page peel ad with an optin form, but not with a click here button to another offer, or more information.

I really don’t know, but I imagine people have an aversion to actually typing something into a page peel area, simply because it closes up again, and there’s a subconcious feeling that the content is going to be lost. That quality of transience would actually be an asset if it’s a link to click. (Click here quick, before it gets covered up again!)

Think you may be surprised as how many internet users now use Firefox and Chrome (which your Peel Away Ad for your UltimateFatBurner website wasn't displying properly under). Just take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp and see for yourself. Thanks again for the info, Rich Hi Admin,
