Landing Page Sells The Product
By Calista Joyner
A landing page is the page you are re-directed to when you click
on a link or a highlighted word. You can think of it as a record
of sorts. The landing page keeps track of how many visitors look
at the page. It is very helpful for the website owner to see what
pages are "hit" the most. Any website that sells a product
or service has a link to a checkout webpage. The checkout is also
a landing page.
Advertising copywriting uses landing pages as a way to promote
their products. You read an article and then a link is used to
direct you to the webpage. If the landing page is through an affiliate
of the company, a record is kept of the number of visitors.
More Visitors To The Landing Page, The Better Chance Of A Purchase
This is used to measure the effectiveness of the link. The more
visitors, the better the chance of a person purchasing or using
the website means increasing business for the company or group
of people in the organization.
An SEO copywriter, or Search Engine Optimized, uses landing pages
quite frequently. A search is performed using specific words.
The writer incorporates these words into the document, article
or marketing writing. When the search brings up the results, the
person clicks on a link. The link takes one to a landing page.
Many websites offer what is known as an affiliate program.
Affiliate Programs Selling Products
An affiliate program is designed to promote websites for other
people. The webpage creator or company pays a set amount of money
if the customer purchases something. They also can offer a percentage
of the overall sale. Websites want more visitors because that
increases the likelihood of bringing in revenue for the owner
of the business.
Website owners can also make money on the number of people who
visit the information. There are programs on the internet that
measure the popularity of a given site. One of these programs
is through Google page rank. It lets someone know how popular
their site is and gives them a percentage.

The Reference And Transaction Landing Pages
When discussing landing pages, there are two types that a webpage
can be. The first is a Reference landing page. The Reference page
gives information. The Transactional landing page directs the
visitor to the area in which a product or service can be purchased.
We are directed to a landing page each time we surf the internet
and click on a link. It helps us immensely by providing us with
the information or product we are seeking. Website copywriting
needs the landing page in order to draw in more visitors with
the hope of a purchase or by imparting information to the reader.
Landing pages are very handy when searching for information or
if you want to make a transaction. There are cases, however, when
the links are inactive or misdirect you to a page that is spam.
There are also times when there are too many links and it becomes
a maze for the reader to navigate. When this happens simply hit
the back arrow on your keyboard and try to find the thread you
were searching for.

Did You Know This About Copywriting?
Sales are sagging. Slogans are slumping. Why? Perhaps your copywriting
skills are a bit rusty. Businesses need great marketing in order
to attract customers. Customers mean more money and the business
stays afloat. To some, writing is not a pleasure because they
do not understand the mechanics behind effective copywriting.
There are ways to learn.
The goal of copywriting is not complex. It is to draw attention
and to promote something. That something can be a service, a product
or even a website. The key is to write effective copy. It must
capture the reader, viewer or listener. For some writers this
is a skill they are lacking but it does not have to be you.
Have you ever seen an ad or commercial that has drawn you in?
Have you ever seen an ad or commercial that was preposterous and
poorly done? The root of both questions is copywriting. Whether
a person is drawn in or repulsed, it is copywriting doing the
work.
Don’t let poor wording on your copy get you down. There are ways
to learn how the pro’s do it. Copywriting isn’t some great mystery
to discover, it is about drawing customers in through the use
of your words. Great copywriting can increase business dramatically.
