How to Create the Best Landing page for your Website

How to Create the Best Landing page for your Website

Make your landing pages count by using some basic optimization
techniques, such as the following:

* Instantly conveying the value your site offers and creating strong
incentive to contact you by providing a clear title and description and
an enticing layout.

* Focus your visitors, every chance you can get, to contact you by
providing links, images linking to the contact us page; you may even
provide free informational materials to get them to complete the contact
us form.

* Always include your social media sharing links, encouraging
visitors to spread the word that your website has something valuable to
offér.

* Beware of what information you request in your contact form. You
cannot expect them to fill out a complete page of information and be
willing to do so. Just keep it simple, but be sure to obtain the
important information needed to contact them.

Not only do you need to optimize your landing pages for search engines,
you should take a step-back and consider as to what key words the user
is entering in the search engine. These terms and phrases speak to the
search engine and provide a better way to have the visitor find your
landing pages. In the same thought, your meta-tags, each individualized
for each landing page, must convey the common terms visitors are
searching for. Marrying the landing page content with audience
intelligent meta-tags is another feather in your website cap.
Essentially, make a point to consider exactly what is driving visitors
to your landing page.

Some thoughts on your page layout... it is a fact that the eyes are
drawn to certain things and you should use this research to your
advantage. Here are some factual layout points to consider:

* A studied and proven focal point on a landing page as the visitor
moves left to right on your page, is grabbing their attention with
faces. That's right. Faces intrigue visitors and they will immediately
be drawn to them. A poignant trick is to utilize facial images, but
incorporate them into your landing page copy, tying one to the other.

* A controlled, often fixed design will be your best option for the
visitor's experience. It keeps the layout clean and delineated, without
overwhelming the audience.

* Provide multiple and consistent ways for the visitor to easily
communicate their needs and interests. The communication between the
audience and your company is vital to your conversion rate, which means
you transform a lead into an actual customer of yours.

* Your audience will tend to view your landing page from the upper
left hand side first, so leverage images and content to provide the most
punch in this location. Utilize their natural viewing of the page to
your advantage.

* It cannot be stressed enough how very important the headline and
web page title are. They are key items that have the greatest potential
to provide an impact on the viewer, reflecting your conversion rate and
ROI. Include keywords that leverage your websites relevance.

Landing pages can literally make or break your conversion rate and ROI.
Do not venture into a website without researching what you need to
present to the audience, build their trust, and obtain leads.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

Local Business Online Visibility Tips – Use What You Do Every Day

When you think about online visibility for your local business it's so easy to get wrapped up and overloaded with what you should be doing on the internet to promote your website. Yet, small changes to your every day business routine can make a big difference. Often, business owners think about being visible online as a way of reaching people whom you have had no contact with at all. That's true in many cases. Sometimes, online visibility is as simple as making sure that people you interact with (even briefly) as part of your usual business routines are aware of your online presence. Not everyone wants to pick up the phone or call in to your premises to find out basic information like your opening hours or who to contact. Sometimes people just want to find out a bit more about you and your company. In this day and age of always being plugged in to the Internet, your website is the first p...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
