    When does it make sense to create one landing page for both seo and ppc?

      I think it makes sense to do this when using the PPC channel in order to test out page design, layout, keywords, etc... However, once you find a better-converting page for PPC you should also test it out on organic traffic. Assuming you can continue to rank well for your top keywords and the page converts organic visitors better it is best to send PPC traffic to an organic page due to the quality score issue described by Ron.
      Plenty of businesses have separate landing pages for their PPC traffic though. As much as I would like to say that having a high-converting page is best for both, the truth is that sometimes the highest converting page is not at all SEO-friendly in terms of content (e.g. one image and a big fat CTA button). You can often meet in the middle by incorporating drop-down content divs, jquery sliders, etc... but not in all cases.

        According to my understanding, You should have two separate pages as you can track conversions better. Pls correct me if i am wrong.

        Thanks

          I also like to think that a page should be designed to convert whether it's a landing page or a normal webpage on the same subject!

            Nathan,

            I would always recommend this.  This techniques gives you a higher quality score on pay per click while indexing on search.  As you build out your content and links your performance will get better and better.  This is also a good format for running software like Optimizely for conversion optimization.

              Google URL Builder / Campaign Tracking on two Different Domain using the Same Analytics Code

              Hey Everyone, I think I know the answer to this but I'd like to get some confirmation. I currently have a landing page at "www.xyz.com", it's a separate domain in which only the landing page exists and not a vanity URL which redirects. However, the navigation and all the links on  "www.xyz.com" actually link out to "www.abc.com". The domain / landing page  "xyz" has the same analytics tracking code as domain "www.abc.com". My question is this, if I use Google URL builder to create custom URL's to track for each ad that I'm running in Adwords, will this data show up in the analytics of "abc" even though it's a separate domain because it has the same analytics code? In other words, does campaign data show only if the domain and the google analytics code line up, or does the domain not matter and as long as you have the same analytics code (despite two separate domains) that campaign data (built through Google URL builder) will show? My hunch and best guess it that as long as the analytics code is the same (regardless of a separate domain) that the data in campaign will show with the custom URL's I build. I'm aware that I can test this and I will but I'd like to get an idea from the community first to make things easier. Anybody have experience with this? Answers greatly appreciated! Thanks!

              AdWords quality score of landing pages and subdomains popularity

              Hello, I have an AdWords account whose landing pages point to (i.e.) http://www.domain.com/landing01.php I've  been using this account for ages, it has a good score and history, so I want to keep it. The first question is: may I use landing pages on different subdomains within the same AdWords account (and in the same root domain)? I.E. (http://cheese.domain.com/landing01.php and http://wine.domain.com/landing02.php) 2nd question: the www subdomain has good subdomain metrics (authority /trust and, generally, links) while the "cheese" subdomain has not (no backlinks at all). Do I get any benefit in Adwords (like quality score or other) if I publish my landing pages under a subdomain with better subdomain metrics (or number of links)? Or should I just go with http://cheese.domain.com even it has no authority at all? Thank you, DoMiSoL Rossini

              Google Analytics CPC and PPC not Matching

              Hi Why do our CPC in Google Analytic not match our PPC in Adword, surely they should be identical?  We have Auto-tagging switched on and data in our history is wrong so it is not a timing issue. Thanks

              Cost per click on PPC

              What is the best way to get a good cpc estimate other than actually running the campaign? I have had several people asking for budgets and wasn't sure how to answer. Any suggestions?

              Keyword Domains for PPC

              I have a client who wants to buy a lot of long domains with keywords in them, for example, thesandiegopetstore.com (this is fictional) and then set up a PPC landing page for each. They think that when someone types in "san diego pet store" that their domain will be listed high and then they will get a lot of traffic. My concern is that they will own a lot of domains for their company and I thought Google is getting pretty adamant about companies not having a lot of domains, and I thought that keyword domains are not as effective as they used to be -- that branding is more important now. Also, I think the domains they've picked target very competitive keywords and that perhaps they will get a lot unqualified traffic and will still have to pay for the clicks. What do you think? What is the best way to set up PPC landing pages?
