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.
