5 out of 5 stars Tim Ash is a World Class Professional - the book says it all   August 26, 2008

I traveled 6000 miles from Scotland to the USA to further fulfil my passion for doing Search Engine Marketing for my Scottish client base. I got the chance to actually meet the people behind the books who in our business are seen as the mastering mentors of our profession. through me being an Optimiser in the UK. I had the opportunity to meet Tim Ash, who is a very pleasant and knowledgeable person and this inspired me to buy his book. I have since read cover to cover, and the book is like the person. Since that meeting and reading of his Book Tim even went out his way to answer an email on a burning question I had - now that's commitment! It was an honour getting the chance to meet Tim Ash, the positive reviews here sum him up, so go ahead - get the book and get your website tuned up - today.


5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, Practical, and Actionable Website Optimization Guide   August 14, 2008

Amazingly enough, virtually everything you need to know about optimizing the commercial efficiency of a website (not just a "landing page") is included, concisely, in Landing Page Optimization. In addition to the motivation for doing optimization, how to select what to optimize, and, in detail, how to measure and analyze your optimizations, Tim Ash includes helpful summaries of the psychology of users and even of how to navigate corporate politics to get buy-in for your optimization project. There is very little about creating a successful commercial website that I did not feel more knowledgeable after reading this book.


5 out of 5 stars A good book to get you going successfully with your landing pages   August 9, 2008

The author no doubt knows his subject and I suspect he's good at what he

His discussion on testing is good and important. And he does answer some important questions. For example, should a landing page have lots of navigation or just enough? This book will help you in increasing your conversions. There's no doubt about that. But most of the information is available on the Web at this time. And I personally felt a lot was left unwritten and unanswered.

5 out of 5 stars If this book was avaialbe ten years ago, I would be retired by now   August 6, 2008

I am owner of unoptimized website and I found this book to be invaluable. My website was not performing as it should, but I didn't know how to correct the problems. Landing Page Optimization showed me why my website sucked and what to do about it.

If you own a website and you are paying for clicks, you had better read this book, because if your site is not optimized, you are losing money and lots of it.



5 out of 5 stars A good look at a under estimated subject   August 5, 2008

As a small business owner reading a book about Landing Page Optimization I thought it would be more than I could handle. After just a few chapters I got the hang of what he was talking about. Its a tough subject that would over shadow many web designers, but I think it is a valuable subject once you have a website operational. Thanks Tim for you research and hard work.
