One question–

Have you written pay-per-click ads, and if so, could you give us some insight with another article?

Regarding the involvement device comment from Ed Turner:  He's absolutely right!  You can get really slick and customize your opt-in page by using a questionnaire.  You have maybe 4 or 5 options to choose from and then, depending upon which item the visitor checks, they get a follow-up page based on that.   That level of personalization really draws people into your site.  I've seen that done very effectively in a number of places. Anyway, as a copywriter it pains me to say this, but these design elements are crucial for success on opt-in pages.  Copy alone isn't enough. -- Bob H.  Thanks for the kind comments, guys!

It brings to mind those smiley banner ads that scream 'HELLO' when you roll your cursor over them.  I will never, ever, use smiley's again just because of that ad. Thanks again, a keep up the great work.

I created a script that does just that.  Check it out here: http://www.optinquizgenerator.com Ed Turner Opt-in Quiz Generator Robert,
