I appreciate practical questions like this, since many people never did any marketing online and many techniques may not be very obvious at the beginning.
The key for a good splash page is to make it visually appealing and of a right size.
Let me elaborate - few years back we had a program EyeEarn, it was the predecessor of Wave3, one of the images to advertise that program was the picture of an attractive lady in EyeEarn T-shirt in front of the car with our logo. That splash page created more hits than any other splash page I have ever created.
Most splash pages are used in traffic exchanges, viewers have only a few seconds to look at your page. Also you have to remember, that most of them not even looking to join other businesses, they just want to earn credits to advertise their business. So in order to have a chance to attract them, we need to have really standing out image.
Another point to consider, is that most splash pages would be opened in relatively small sized window. So the page we create has to be made accordingly, we really don't want them to start scrolling our page for more information. We just want them to click on it!
I hope it helps.
