I dunno, landing pages seem to come in play only on traffic exchange or some other payed for traffic.
As i see it, most traffic comes from important search engines and they choose their own landing page.

I think the effectiveness of a website landing page has changed a little. But I do think the specialty of that page is a great place to utilize some more creativity. And many of these have that nice combination of design and seo.

This is definitely a great roundup of solid landing pages, but I'd like to see more examples of pages used by e-commerce sites. Most of these example pages are for companies that offer some app or service.

The landing page is the one of the important page of any website. we have designed our site index page in very efficient way that not hurt visitors and search engines.

Very nice and well explained.. I agree with you the more you use it the more you are fascinated by how much it is capable of. I have use wordpress for years now and I see the power of CMS on handling not just three to four transactions at a time but more than you could hardly imagine

Thank you for the links. There are much great ideas and a lot of great articles.

Nice collection of landing pages, displaying that you really need good call to action elements when promoting your products and services. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent collection of landing pages ! No matter what other people say, those pages have a crucial importance when comes to PPC campains. There are people out there that built their business almost exclusively on PPC campains. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Very interesting to see your examples,

Thank you!

Landing page becomes important to prove the effectiveness of online advertising. Your collections of landing pages are excellent.

These are excellent examples, but I feel landing pages are not designed well aesthetically no matter how optimized they may be. Optimizing an actual home page is a much better option for the actual consumer. We shouldn't design for Google, we need to design for our markets.

Landing pages are very much important for all websites and it needs to be better than the other pages. In most cases the landing pages are homepage and the navigation and design or the page needs to be better.

Great collection, indeed. We have worked on a fare bit of landing pages and it is always a challenge to get all the info in place with out making it look crowded.

Landing Pages was one of our biggest challenges on our website. To see how much info is needed. We wanted to make it very easy for people to use. Good ideas and design solutions.

Nowadays, it's critical to design a great landing page. From my experience, we used landing pages exclusively for pay per click advertising on Adwords or Adcenter. Most importantly, a landing page must be designed around an SEO perspective. If a landing page is poorly designed without any or enough SEO elements, the client could experienced an unnecessary increased in PPC ad spend.

Basically, a PPC optimized landing page must have these basic elements:

1. keyword specific title, headline, and ad copy
2. terms of service, privacy, contact us

Good luck!
