Kevin’s Cadillac? December 2, 2006
Posted by paul in : Stories , trackbackOK, admit it. How many of you need to know if Kevin lends out his Cadillac?
I know that loads of people hate sound when surfing, I’m usually one of them, but that’s only because I’m fed up of hearing whiny salesmen with their weasly pathetic pitches, or having my ears blown off by really loud blaring music.
I also get a little bored with hearing my name called out now, but I appreciate the ingenuity behind that software.
You see, a site with sound is quite likely to produce a 500% increase in response rates over a silent site. I just heard this week that the average visitor lingers a whole three seconds on a ‘normal’ ebay auction, whereas a talking auction gets visits averaging 1 minute 25 seconds. Interesting eh?
So, when you’re writing your next splash page, stop for a minute and think about investing $20 in software that lets you speak to your target market. You might just be surprised by the results.
Oh and please don’t think it’s cool to blast my ear drums. Treat me with respect and why not leave a little mystery? I know I’m still dying to find out if I can get my hands on Kevin’s cadillac

I have absolutely no idea who kevin is, or what he does with his cadillac, or even that he had one in the first place.
like you I got fed up with sonic pollution whilst surfing, so my speakers are off (actually more precisely, my surfing computer doesn’t have speakers)
I have a very happy surfing life as a result, and I have no real need to add speakers to my surfing computer anyway since that’s all it does
Keep the faith bro,
