White paper downloads are great for landing pages

Landing pages are a great way to monetize web traffic to your website. I recommend giving your visitors something in return for filling out a form. It can be as simple as a free white paper or ebook. Ask for your visitor's information in a lead form and then they can download a PDF on thank you page. The strategy is to create a relationship with your visitors and they can leave with something tangible - that is valuable.

Here is a landing page that we completed for Future Now, Inc - one of my favorite companies to work with. This optimized landing page offers a white paper on "10 Tips To Start Optimizing Your Site". In the design below, you can see how the copy is broken up into bullets so the text can be scanned easily. The layout will force your eyes to read the headline and then immediately move over to the lead capture form then down to the button. Plus we added a few content links and the Google logo to show credibility.

Landing Page Web Design Examples

Why are web designers creating landing pages web designs that do not convert? The thing that has upsets me the most is that advertising agencies are charging a lot of money and not getting the ROI. They are flashy and too focused on branding. But don't get confused, branding campaigns can definitely be combined with a great landing page web design. The focus still remains direct response marketing and nothing is more important than the sale. Its simple, stop wasting your money...

Recently I have focus a lot of sales funnel freelance work on designing landing pages. These may seem boring to the average designer, but they are very important to a successful web business. Great landing page work can really improve your business. A lot of times it can take your site from the 1990's and into 2008. Below are three landing page web design examples from 2005. Yet, they are still converting well 3 years later.
