Creation of Landing Pages. Subdomain or something else?
-
Hi,
I have an issue deciding how my landing pages should be like and I would like to ask for your help.
Currently my landing pages are configured and presented like this:
I would like to know if making a subdomain landing page is advised, maybe something like this:
Or if you suggest doing something else with my landing pages - I would like to know that as well.
p.s. - How I tell the webmasters (my affiliates) to make a clickable button that won't be a direct link to my landing page but will be some form of non-visible redirect?
Thanks in advance

At first: both variations of your URL are not Google friendly. The length of an URL (although the whole structure) is a ranking factor (issues according to the structure of an URL are also several ranking factors).
Just take a look at this list
I know that it is very complicated to create lightweight URLs but you should at least consider to use a specified keyword within your URL (best: in front of all the other information). Using a subdomain that is a keyword for your content can help...

I would keep them on my main domain but make them content based landing pages that are helpfull to users in their own right. No need to hide them then. This may not work in all cases but in my site it works well.
not 100% sure what you are after with your hidden button but I would stay away from all forms of hiding stuff. Tends to be a bit grey hat. If you could clarify it may help me understand what you mean.

Long list or paginated pages
Hi peeps, I am just interested in this from a usability POV and to see what you would prefer to see when you are met with a page that has multiple options. Lets say that the page looks like a list of services, each clearly marked out in its own segment, but there are 50-60 options that match your requirements. Do you like to keep scrolling, or would you prefer to take what is there and then move on if you feel you want to dig deeper? Would you like to see a long list, of have the options loaded in as you get to them? -Andy

Bounce Rate Spike Overnight - Did anyone else notice this?
Hello Moz Community, Starting August 12th, 2015, my overall website traffic bounce rate spiked literally over night and I am trying to figure out why? My traffic increase rate remained the same.
Search Behavior | | CamiloSC
My time on page actually nearly doubled.
but my bounce rate shot up from 9% to 82%. This is the same issue for almost every page in my 500+ page website. My bounce rate in every page was always below 14%. And literally over night on August 12th, the bounce rate skyrocketed. Did something roll out around that time?
Does anyone else have this same issue that would be kind enough to share some insight?0 -
Long page - good or bad?
Our attorney wrote a dozen articles that range from 300 to 700 words on various topics of the certain law area. These articles are all placed on our FAQ page with anchored table of contents. This page does frequently come up on the first page of the google when people search for the questions discussed in these articles. 90% of these visits are not local therefore they are not potential clients. Attorney views it more like a community service then a marketing tool. However, I think there might be a problem. People read though the page and close it because usually they can find what they were looking for right there, however GA counts it as bounce because they did not browse to another page. Would large number of bounces hurt our standing with Google? Would it be better to separate the page into multiple pages for each article to make visitors browse?

Would you say it is more bennificial to seperate keywords in the title tag tag of a page using a common ( keyword , keyword | Domain.com) or using a hyphen as SEOmoz best practices reccommends (keyword - keyword | domain.com)?
Title tag best practices according to seomoz is the following keyowrd - keyword | brand.com but I have seen some interesting results from using a comma as to a hyphen to seperate keywords as reccomended and wanted to know which method is more crawler friendly.

Location subdomains?
We were contacted by a company that claims they want to build us a local. sub domain that targets only local traffic and operate on a rev share model. I'm very weary of this and can think of many things wrong with it, but I was asked to look into it. I'm about to give them a call to see what they are all about, but I always get great advice from the moz community so I thought I'd reach out to hear your opinions. Thanks!

How to get more page impressions?
I'm wondering about one of our web-projects. There's a lot of good interesting content but the statistics of page impressions don't make me very happy. Each user is visiting just 1,5 sites per visit. That's really not much. We have other (similar) projects where this problem does not exist, where user are visiting a lot more sites per visit. I have no idea what could be the reason for it. Do you know / use some tricks to get more page impressions? Thank you, Sally
