You can double your conversion rate in two days trivially by changing the mix of traffic. For pete's sake, do A/B testing! Otherwise you will never know whether your changes are doing it or not.

I would explain the offer, in bullet points, above the fold.

1) List-of-the companies offer services to help bold save the money you are losing on your website bold.

2) These services normally cost $X, but if you buy now, you can use special, limited editions for a one-time payment of $25.

You don't give up do you :) ?

It's the same post on a non-blocked domain. The content is good and relevant. What do you think?

Apart from the suspiciously high number of upvotes in the first two minutes I think it's fine. So did you get an answer?

Here's what Paul said: " Voting anomalies on your submissions.

BTW, the site guidelines explicitly ask you not to post questions about moderation that you could instead ask in an email." ---------------------------------------

Which is weird since I didn't even know our original post made it to the homepage since I didn't submit it.

Anyways, I am just trying to post content I think people will like.

It goes out in my RSS feed and I show it to a few friends whom I think will like it. I'm finding it hard to believe that is an anomaly.

You're asking for trouble then, this one looked like another 'voting anomaly' to me. Even PGs posts don't get that many upvotes in the first few minutes.

In his defense, it is great post. Also, there were some great comments in the old version :) http://www.appsumo.com/blog/how-we-doubled-our-conversion-ra...

Agreed, I wonder what the beef with appsumo.com is.
