NoScript is the answer to a need, no more a spawn of the devil than you, says a subscriber. July 29, 2008

Is it?

Or does it cater to paranoia from people who should know better…

Try reading this
is noscript more pain than its worth

Or this
NoScript makes google analytics slow down considerably

There is a whole bunch of cool stuff you cant use if you don’t know how to operate no scripts properly. And i have to say most of the stuff no scripts is supposed to protect you against can be combated with much less intrusive methods. The continued use of no scripts will over time blank people out from a whole lot of cool stuff.

The real story here though is this…

Every single person in Internet marketing is here to make money and build lists get sign ups etc. that’s the bottom line and this add on is absolutely without question a barrier to that end. I know the problem so I know how to combat it, I put things in place to circumvent the barriers in an efficient way to maximise my sales process.

can the same be said for all the little guys out there struggling to get sign ups and make sales, if they don’t have both sides of the story, if they have to resort to inferior marketing methods because of a simple script that was supposed to make them safe (instead of rich) is that a good thing or a bad thing?

The most needy are the most vulnerable to its side effects, and ignorance in this case is not bliss

If your already struggling to compete and you don’t realise the side effect of noscript then you just made it 10 times harder for the little guy to make any headway. Does it effect me yes somewhat i get a little irritated when i see a support ticket from someone who is bitching because they missed the one time offer because the screen went blank. But that sale (or potential sale) was probably going to an affiliate who worked hard to send the customer to me and lost out on his affiliate commission because of an add on script that someone blindly told that person to use without telling them the side effects.

Your affiliate commissions are smaller (or non existent) because of no scripts

this isn’t about me and my loss, its about you and your losses. I know on average the stuff that’s blocked by no script is much more efficient in producing sales and subscribers so i play the percentage game, but affiliates generally lose out on hard earned commissions when it loses those sales.

Playing safe rarely turns a profit worth the effort

Firefox sucks, find out how it could be killing your sales July 23, 2008

A rant…

Firefox sucks

I know I know..

The debate over Firefox versus Internet Explorer is one that brings out a whole lot of passion from each camp. But let me tell you something I’m sure not a lot of people know.

First let me pre qualify this rant…

I have absolutely nothing against Firefox itself as a browser, personally I hated it, but there are thousands of Im’ers who love the thing and use it religiously.

That’s fine it’s a completely personal choice and we all make them every day. We use a particular tool get used to using it and anything else that comes out isn’t quite the same we all have preferences

So the normal IE versus Firefox is not the issue here

It’s the add ons… and one in particular that’s costs IM"ers thousands of dollars and thousands of subscribers every day.

Because people have no idea of the detrimental effect this add on has to their bottom line and this insidious little add on continues to deprive you of sales and subscribers every day.

In a recent conference room I let rip my feelings over this nasty little add on, and suggested if someone took the time to research and document all the ways it cost you and me money and subscribers I would gladly tell the world about it.

One very sharp individual saw my outburst as an opportunity and did just that, they researched and documented every situation where it cut into your list building and sales.

And in the spirit of my offer that day I want you to go look at the report, The report is free and available for you to use as a list builder giveaway for your self.

And its in everyone’s best interest to get this information out to all you subscribers and members.

I was so passionate about this I donated a copy of Launch Formula marketing script to help Sunny put this together, I will also be actively recruiting my friends and colleagues to help with the promotion in order to get this into the hands of as many people as possible

Some of the things this nasty little add-on does to hurt you

  1. stops people seeing your payment buttons (ironically her first customer support ticket was from someone who wanted to purchase the OTO but couldn’t because they had this add on turned on)
     
  2. restricts which autoresponder subscribe forms you can use
     
  3. totally blocks out payment pages from some payment processors so even if they see your payment button when they click on it they only get a blank white page

Want to know which add on and how to combat it?
