No objective references, I'm afraid. We find that "Learn more about" sounds
trite. "Visit..." sounds like the user could get sucked through the
computer to the location, and "Find out more about" seems to work well.

But then again, it all depends on your company's public persona. Some
companies like 37 Signals, Tumblr, and Hootsuite can get away with pretty
funky calls to action.
