I analyzed over 40,000 customer landing pages and identified three types of information that tended to lead to lower conversion rates.

First I looked at pages that asked users for their age.

I found that landing pages that asked users for their age tended to have much lower conversion rates than pages that did not.

I then analyzed pages that asked for telephone numbers (or suggested that the user would be called).

I found that pages referring to telephone numbers or calling had lower conversion rates than pages that did not.

Lastly I examined pages that asked users for geographic information.

I found not only that pages that asked for any type of geographic information had lower conversion rates than pages that did not, but also that street-level information seemed to be much more sensitive to users than state or city level information.
