Hi Tim. Good question. What’s the main reason the other 385 people aren’t buying?

Hi, Bruce. Thanks for the nice comments.

We’re not aware of any evidence that centered headlines significantly outperform left-aligned ones. Do let us know if you find any.

Hi guys… I have just copied and pasted this article onto a 24 page MSWord document, printed it off, and had it bound! brilliant stuff

Hey, by the way, I have been a web copywriter / SEO specialist for 12 years and all this time I have been led to believe that your primary H1 heading should be “centered” (as opposed to “left-center”). You don’t do that. Neither does WordTracker who just posted a reprint of this article. Can you please enlighten me / guide me as to your rationale for this?

HELLO ALL!

So, I sell bonsai trees through my website http://www.bonsaiboss.com. I am working on increasing traffic to my site, which right now is about 1500 people per month (not a lot I know). Of those 1500 people that come to my site, apparently 400 of them click through to the checkout page per month, but of those 400 people, only FIFTEEN people actually buy a tree. So I am only converting 15 of the 400 people with my checkout page. Do any of you have any thoughts on what I could do to better optimize my checkout page? Please let me know!

Thanks,
Tim
