icons like these are just too general!
They don't trigger a response and a need.
Compared with program icons, they are way less specific.
When you have icons that say "break up for men", "wake up your power", etc. I am sure that these icons respond more to a need and visitors do recognize their need because IT IS SPECIFIC!
Don't get me wrong, links to the products like ebooks, videos, etc still need to be there but they don't need to be as centralized in the home page.
The reason why I say this is because I tested it now for at least 4 months.
the first 2 months, there were only links on home page to the various topics.
about 2 months ago, I created these new products icons and gave them top central position on the home page.
Guess what happened?
Nothing!
There is close to NO change in traffic to these product pages!
Conclusion is clear!
Visitors to home page don't really click on these icons.
When they access the site, they are not looking for videos, audios or ebooks.
They are looking for a solution to a challenge they face!
That's what they will click on way easier.
Conclusion, USE TOPICS as the main core navigation for the site, not product type!!!
Yes, keep product type navigation these as some people will still use it but probably 90% of your audience will use mainly the navigation by topic!
