Do not offer things which you cannot deliver • When visitors first see your

call to action, you clearly want to get them to go on to your website's landing page. So how will you do that? You make use of words like free, awesome deal and super. Do not boast about things which you cannot brag about. It deteriorates your trustworthiness and makes traffic disturbed.

Making your call to action difficult to find• It is not adequate to be

intrepid in color; you have to be big, as well. That means your call to action should be big enough to be seen evidently so visitors are not left searching for your button or not even realizing there is a button to click in the first place.

Making use of indistinct or reflexive language

• Do you think that your visitors are dumb? No, they are not! They are just really busy, and multi-tasking that they do not have time to go through indistinct language and understand what you want them to do. It is up to you to ask them just what you want them to do by using strong and energetic language.

You are not being definite• What clear action do you

want your website viewers to take? When you deliver an email, what's that you want your recipient to do? Would you like to send them an offer now? Want them to sign-up? Just state clearly what specific action you want them to take and be definite in your call to action.

Not providing the receiver with an exact reason to take action

• You may have a great reason, but that is not sufficient to make sure that people will take action. You will still need to let recipients know what they would gain by taking action. Illustrate them the real difference they can make by clicking on your link.

Not developing a sense of importance• You have to compel

people to take action now because if they do not do it now, they will not do it afterward. Developing a sense of importance with your call to action is necessary. Motivate them to act now. Clarify why time is valuable.
