While creating this video, I even learned something that I can add to my existing ‘About’ page.

    Great video Andrew. You’re right about your About Me page being the one of the pages that brings in the most traffic.

    I’m in the same boat as you and need to give my about me page a little update. Thanks

    What many aren’t aware of is how important about pages are to gaining trust and increasing conversions. When I worked every day with ecommerce stores I saw a direct correlation between improving conversions and completed sales versus abandoned shopping carts and the quality of the about page.

    When following the path visitors took in analytics shoppers who visited the about page were far more likely to buy. Improving the about page by adding more information, links to reviews and especially adding photos showing the business increased conversion rates.

    Many believe that seeing a photo of people in a building causes visitors to believe an online store is a “real business” instead of a possible scam.

    About pages are also very important to Social Networking users like myself. They allow me to find out what is most important to a blogger so that I can select the best anchor text when writing about them and have more details to share when reviewing them on Social Media sites or recommending them to others.

    One thing I’ve noticed which I may do myself is 2 pages…about me/about this site..shortens the page and is more focused on what folks may want to read; not mixing business with personal.

    I really need to get on the ball as well and add more photos and links to my about me page. I can honestly say that the about me page is the one page on my blog where I needed more of a sense of direction, and you’ve provided for me so thank you very much!!

  8. Thanks for sharing. This is really helpful. About me page is now mandatory since the panda update. This is great! Keep up the good work.
