What is the Best Landing Page setup?
-
I have seen a few different types of landing pages. I am trying to figure out which style works best from a SEO perspective.
1. The cram everything possible onto the page approach ala nyt.com?
2. The fill your home page with a ton of links approach like cnn.com?
3. The put just a small sample of your content approach like seomoz? I see 4 blog snippets, a "Go To My Campaign" call to action and that's it.
4. Pages like Groupon.com which have 100% focus on a call to action.
I also notice many focused pages like Groupon remove the header and footer on their landing page. Does that help the page retain it's PR better?

Don't think it can be changed.

Basically you can't make your homepage just for SEO, you need a purpose for your website, you take your goals and then work out how best to apply SEO within the confines of those goals.
There's no inherent advantage or disadvantage to any of the page styles you've mentioned and there are dozens of more ways a page can be laid out.

Somehow this question was marked as answered? I do not know how that happened as I did not make that selection. Could someone please fix this?

Yes, I am referring to the home page for a new site.

A page is a page from a SEO point of view. Build it the same way as you would any other page you wanted to rank (title, alt text, content, headers, etc). Unless you're also a news outlet I wouldn't necessarily be trying to compare myself with what NYT and CNN are doing either.
While I appreciate that any page that brings a visit from a search engine or other campaign is a landing page, what exactly are we talking about? Do you mean you have a specific campaign (PPC or even targeting a specific page to a keyword)...
Actually, before I go any further and looking at your examples, do you mean homepage?

luxury ski chalets Their domain name includes "valdisere" but I can't get this site onto Page 1, it keeps lingering on Page 2 and 3. I wondered how you would approach this site with pages? Would you reply on the homepage to rank for all these terms or create seperate pages for the terms, and if so how would you group the terms per page?0 -
Form Only Pages Considered No Content/Duplicate Pages
We have a lot of WordPress sites with pages that contain only a form. The header, sidebar and footer content is the same as what's one other pages throughout the site. Each form page has a unique page title, meta description, form title and questions but the form title, description and questions add up to probably less than 100 words. Are these form pages negatively affecting the rankings of our landing pages or being viewed as duplicate or no content pages?

Search Pages outranking Product Pages
A lot of the results seen in the search engines for our site are pages from our search results on our site, i.e. Widgets | Search Results This has happened over time and wasn't intentional, but in many cases we see our search results pages appearing over our actual product pages in search, which isn't ideal. Simply blocking indexing of these pages via robots wouldn't be ideal, at least all at once as we would have that period of time where those Search Results pages would be offline and our product pages would still be at the back of ranking. Any ideas on a strategy to replace these Search Results with the actual products in a way that won't hurt us too bad during the transition? Or a way to make the actual product pages rank above the search results? Currently, it is often the opposite. Thanks! Craig

Too Many On-Page Links
Hi, I did a SEOmoz campaign and got results today, One of the results is Too "Many On-Page Links" when i am drilling down, i see that that's include inside links. for example, i sale food, i have my main department window - inside i have 30 products - each product is linked to a detailed page about the product. so automatically i have 30 links - not including all the others in this page, and i easily get over 100 and even sometimes 200 is this a big issue? does it damages my SEO? If yes, is there a way to write the HTML in a way that internal links like that wont be counted? Thank you SEOWiseUs

Editing Author Pages
Hi, Quick question regarding author pages. I have the blog set as me for my author page. so the url is: mysite.com/blog/author/miles/ Now, seomoz has picked up that my author page is missing meta description. But, this cannot be editied through wordpress as there is no edit option available. I may really be missing something, but where can I alter the author page, I have a feeling it might be fed from G+ but no really sure what part of G+ is used as the description. Thanks Miles

Why has only one page been crawled?
I went over the list of possible reasons, but I don't think any of them apply to the site in question: sarahhueniken.com. Any other reasons only one page would be crawled?
