It shouldn’t be left out. But you also shouldn’t put bulky, difficult to digest information at the top of a page. Save that for later. Link to additional information. Not everyone needs it.

When you do include all the additional information, you can still apply these principles to it. Cut out the fat. Don’t be repetitive or overly worldy, just get it done.

Nice points and I am going to try them more seriously. However, for customers in Asia Pacific, more is beautiful as I realize..They want more information, all the possible answers, even though it may only be to justify their decisions to their bosses..

Regards,
Raghav

I have seen internet marketing strategies and most of them are not direct to the point. They give info such what other stuff their customers can get after purchasing and less information about the product they are marketing. This happens most of the time and at the end of the day, they get no sales.. Internet marketers must know about the 5 seconds habit and direct to the point practice.

Thank you for the wonderful information you have shared. Being in the Real Estate business forces you to get straight to the point when it comes to accruing clients and potential leads. The five second videos were a great example to show how to cut out the non-sense. I also agree with your statement in reply to Bibiano about having a great landing page. This is extremely important because it supplies you with what works and doesn’t with your audience. Great post!

Why would you put more info beneath a CTA button? As a reader, it just confuses the heck out of me, you’re totally right.

A great landing page is going to give all of the information needed to make the conversion, then have just one CTA right at the end. If you’re thinking about the conversion funnel, the funnel should work not just for a series of pages, but even each page should have its own funnel right to the one CTA.

Liar, it was no funland there!

*lol* Seriously, I share your outlook towards lengthy copies. Add in the overused CTA buttons that shows up in every 600 pixels vertical distance interval. Do they want me to continue reading or what? If I were to click on this button now, would I miss reading more important points below that? If it’s impossible to cut off the long paragraphs, they could be better off using jQuery accordions or just simple Javascript with headings in a bullet list.

Awesome post, Jack!

I always have trouble with longer copy because it just… takes longer to read, I guess. It’s about content in digestible bites. So if I do have a lot of information that needs to go on a page, I try to break it up as much as possible.

The biggest problem I see with most long online content is long paragraphs and limited subheadings (like Ian was talking about on Conversation Marketing a few days ago).

Overloading with information has always been frustrating for me as a reader, so I try to stick to the “only what is essential” mantra when I write. If there’s more information that some readers might want, a link to another page or pop-up info box might work better than flooding a page with words.

I will always trust a simple landing page with just the important stuff more than I will trust a page where I have to trudge through swamped copy that is extra information or phrased above my comprehension level.
