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?

Are Landing Pages Not Connected to our Nav Bars considered Black Hat?
Hello All, I have narrowed down our keywords and want to start building out landing pages around them. However, until we get a resource center up, they will not be associated with our nav bars. If I build out landing pages so that I can connect them to our AdWords and other digital advertising initiatives, will we be penalized if they are sort of just out there on our domain? Thanks!

Similar content multiple pages
I have run in to a situation on an e-commerce store where products from a certain manufacturer require a fairly large chunk of corporate information to be posted underneath the product description: I.E. Trademark information, etc. This information happens to be close to half the size of the product description information. Am I at risk of getting hit negatively for this portion of text duplicated across multiple products? I was considering putting a link to a separate informational page with this information but am not sure if it even matters? What are your recommendations brilliant SEO'erz?

How do I best SEO optimize a landing page that is mostly graphics?
I have a social networking website built on a SocialEngine platform. All of the pages (except the home page) are password protected for members only. My web designer wants the home page to be primarily graphics - not text. It looks nice, but with no substantial copy on the page, can I still get the page to rank well with just meta title, description and keywords (even when those keywords aren't actually on the page?) What's the best way to handle this? Kim

We have 5 postions on page 2 in a google search, but none on page 1\. How can we fix this?
For one of our most important key phrases we have 5 listings on page 2 but none on page 1. We are an ecommerce company, the key phrase we're trying for is a Top Level Category name for us, so the 5 links we have on googles second page for the key phrase (in order) are the appropriate top level category page, the sites home page and than three sub categories of that top level category. So while that all makes sense, can't we convince google to concentrate all that link power/juice into just the top level category page? Hopefully bumping it to first page rank? The 5 ranks are 11-15

More than 100 internal links from a page
Hi, we have been developing our new site and improving the internal linking for 2 reasons, 1 to improve spidering and 2 to up sell more to customers. The error reports from SEOMoz are showing our biggest problem is too many internal links from 2000+ pages. How much of an impact does it have by having say 180 internal links compared to say 99 on a page? Our website has been moving up the SERPs so should i worry about it or should I ignore the warnings and continue with the menu system and internal linking we have in place already? Thanks
