(Spot III)    3 Tips For a Killer Web-Form By Bryan Fleming   An easy way to get good information back from your web visitors is to add a simple contact or feedback form on your site. How these forms work is they usually email you the results of what people put into them. For example: If you have a very simple contact form people fill it out and you get an email of what they ask. You do this of course because it's almost suicide to put your email on your website. You'll get every Spam harvester on the net picking it up and soon your email won't even be usable. So contact forms work great, but how do you make one that gets people to fill it out while giving you good information. Here are three tips for making an effective Contact or Feed back form: #1: Respect People's Time - Remember the more questions you ask on your form the more likely you won't get anyone filling it out. Keep your forms as brief as possible. #2: Use Drop Down Lists for easy selections - If you want to know how someone found your site don't ask, "How did you hear about us?" and put a free form textbox there. This has 2 problems. First - You won't have any consistency in your answers. Secondly - It's more work for people (so they won't fill it out). A better way is to ask the same question but use a drop down list with your common choices: Google, Yahoo, MSN, Radio, etc. You'll get more responses and you can group your responses into some meaningful information. For example, may you find that over half your visitors are coming from Yahoo. #3: Use Checkboxes when you want someone to choose more than 1 item. This piggy backs on #2. Again, you don't want open text fields where people type in their selections. You want something you can use for reporting. By keeping these tips in mind you'll have a much more effective contact form. Don't know how to make one? Try formmailhosting.com. Here you can make feed back and contact forms in minutes using all the techniques I've outlined above. They will email you the results of every form that's filled out in your website. Also, they save all the results in a MS Excel file, which you can use for your reporting.   About the Author: Bryan Fleming writes about different website hosting topics which include Website Uptime Monitoring, Website Hosting, Website Programming and more.
