I started back a few weeks ago using Google Adwords to promote some of my websites. I should of started back in February when I got contacted by Tangowire. Tangowire wanted to assist me in creating good landing pages for Google Adwords. I first had to understand what landing pages where.

Landing pages is the page that a person is directed too after clicking the ad you created in Google Adwords. The landing page should be specific to what your ad is promoting to work effectively. If  I am promoting a Gay Dating site my ad will speak about Gay and Lesbian dating and I would make my ad’s landing page show gay couples, you would not put straight couples on the landing page because it would not make sense that I would click a link that is suppose to take me to a Gay Dating Site. The better the landing page relates to the Ad in Google the better position that Ad will get, mean more clicks and hopefully more conversions. Conversions is when some clicks your Ad and purchases a product or service from the website you are promoting.

So its been about three weeks now and I have spent only $50 on Google Adwords so far. I have gotten more clicks this last few week and a few new free members but no conversions. A few years ago I spent hundreds of dollars every few months with Google, Yahoo and MSN ads. I broke even sometimes but really never saw a profit. Now I have a better understanding, I hope to make this venture profitable.

Let’s get started on your unique landing page….

What is a landing page

—————————–

In online marketing a landing page, sometimes known as a lead capture page, it is the page that appears when a potential customer clicks on an advertisement. The page displays content that is a logical extension of the advertisement.  This pages main goal is to persuade a visitor to complete a transaction – In your case you want your landing page to be compelling to enough for the visitor to click through and become a member of your site.

Rules for Landing Pages

——————————-

As long as your truthful the design is completely up to you!

Things to consider

————————

1.

Make sure your landing page refers directly to the ad copy that drove the click.  If your ad is for Single Parents your landing page will want to be written and have visuals the single parent can relate to. Match your language as exactly as you can. This way you keep your visitor oriented and engaged. This is by far the most important part of your landing page.

2.

Provide a clear call to action. Whether you use graphic buttons or hot-linked text (or both), tell your visitor what they need to do. We recommend 2 calls to action on your landing page. So, Join Now Free and Search are two calls to action.

3.

Be crystal clear in your goals. Keep your description copy on point as a logical progression from your headline and offer.

4.

Write to the screen. Take a piece of paper and frame-out where your text, buttons, and design elements will go. Keep the landing page short so all your content will be seen “above the fold” a visitor will make a decision about your site in less than 3 seconds.

5.

Remove all extraneous matter from your landing page. Like visual clutter and links to other sections. You want the visitor focused solely on your copy, your supportive visual, and the offer you’re making without being tempted to wander elsewhere.
