I loath these landing pages. 90% of the time I see that I am on a one column lander with a picture and instantly close the tab. If I do read it I want to know what the hell the product is. After two screens of the benefits I scroll to the bottom and 99% of the time can not find the answer I am after and so swear at the owner and close the tab. How on earth does any one ever make a penny with such pages? In my book these pages are the second cousin of spam. I totally disagree.

I would have totally agreed with you until I did some research on it, and even though you and I avoid these long-form pages like the plague, the statistics say that they DO convert, and convert quite well. It's kind of like the art of sales: don't sell to your prospects the way YOU want to be sold - sell to them the way THEY want to be sold. Some people really want the long form copy - go figure! :) Lord Matt - I actually loathe them too!

It was so easy to get new leads using PPC that I moved my entire advertising budget to the internet. The Yellow Pages was doing nothing for me and I was competing against everyone and their brother. I found out that by advertising my business online that I had that part of the market to myself. Wendy,
