How To Build A Landing Page From Scratch
An effective landing page is the cornerstone of successful online marketing. You can see in the scroll heatmap for our landing page for the Learn job below that 50% are making it to at least the middle of the page. In instances where we notice that customers aren't scrolling on new landing pages we've launched, our Marketing and Research teams have gotten together to iterate the page design which we continue to monitor using Inspectlet's scroll tracking.

Share landing pages in your author bios when contributing to other blogs in your industry so that visitors go to a product or service in line with the post they just read. Optimize landing pages for organic search so visitors who want something specific find it immediately when they click through to your website. Include landing page URLs in your social media profiles so people find your featured product or service.

Now, what landing pages in WordPress are about is grabbing that visitor and convincing them to take care of a given predefined action. In other words, the goal here is to take that new visitor and immediately put them through some marketing process on your WordPress site, as opposed to letting them wander around, looking for something to do. Of course, you don't actually need something like a landing page to try convincing your visitors to take some specific action.

Simply create your squeeze page with a free html editor, and then upload it to your server using a FTP program like FileZilla. Paste the squeeze page source code from KompoZer into notepad and save it as a php file to your desktop. Understand that you cannot add content to this page from WordPress but you can re-do anything inside KompoZer. It is fairly simple Design Landing Page to create a squeeze page inside WordPress once you know the steps and are willing to suffer through some trial and error.

A lead-generating landing page will typically ask the page's visitor to fill out a form in exchange for access to a resource (such as an ebook or whitepaper), a webinar, a discount coupon, free trial, contest entry, etc. A click-through landing page is used to motivate visitors to click through to another page where they can learn more about a product or company so they can make an informed decision before purchasing the company's product or service. ShortStack has several new landing page templates that will help make the design and building process easy.

When a good landing page starts to be less productive, it is time for a change, find a new product or create new pages. With a mix of good keywords, related sites to bid on and a good landing page, you will make money. Online marketing includes a wide range of initiatives today; from specialized websites and landing pages, to email marketing campaigns, to marketing on the social networks and mobile marketing programs. Online marketing results are also measurable, and can be tracked via any number of criteria (number of clicks, search terms used, number of opens, number of page visits, etc.), making it easy to track successes and identify areas that may need improvement.

We spruced the landing page up with a bit of proof and trust and carefully added appropriate images. We've mixed up the perfect landing page (aka dating profile) to attract the customer we want - in my case someone to hold my lab coat. Collect valuable user data with our form fill landing pages and incentive users with our coupon download promotions. Encourage participation by rewarding visitors to your landing page with promo code promotion that they can unlock upon submission of a custom form.

But, if you'd like to have your readers see a page of your own, then this is where you put the URL for that page. Or, maybe offer them a free gift for signing up - just publish that download link on a page, and set that as your Activation Landing Page. For example, if you were to promote an online dating website, but only wanted to target single men living in New York” you could build a landing page catering to their needs. By creating a call to action (CTA) at the top of the page that says Looking for Single Men in NY” and adding an image of an attractive girl, you're better able to attract your preferred demographic.
