Congatulations on the improvements. You're definitely headed down the right path, but I doubt the 25% conversion increase is significant with a $5 a day budget for testing unless you're getting large amounts of traffic and conversions from other sources.<p>Once you get Google Website Optimizer up you'll see that it not only tells you the difference in conversion rates, but also how statistically significant the results are.

The "Stop emailing yourself" headline looks funny to me. It had to look at it a second time because when I first loaded the page I thought it was an ad and subconsciously skipped it.<p>I don't know why that is. I think maybe it's the font, coupled with the fact that it's on a white background.

I must be slow. You're headline says "Try it in 30 seconds!" How? Are you implying that it will only take me 30 seconds to register? I was expecting a link in that headline that would take me to a demo page.

The headline "All your favorites in lists" doesn't make any sense to me. I read a little of the blog post and then clicked through to your homepage to see what your site was about and I didn't digest it until I had gone through all your bullets and thought about it for a bit. You're making it too hard to understand something simple: "Organize your bookmarks" Use a verb in your headline - why do I want to stay on your site? What is it I can do? You can organize your bookmarks/favorites/whatever word you have for it[1]. Once I know what your site is offering me now I want to stick around and see what your novel approach is - I'm going to leave if I can't figure it out right away. The current headline doesn't hook me and in fact just confused me.<p>I almost didn't post this because your blog requires sign up to comment. Eliminate barriers!<p>After typing this whole comment I saw your subheading under your logo - take it out of there and make it your headline! That's what you do!<p>[1] - As a suggestion maybe show the word favorites for IE users and bookmarks for FF/Chrome users.
