Blog Homepage or Money Site as Target Page?

5 replies
Hello,

When I build my blog for SEO, if everything (blog posts, articles, web 2.0, press releases) points to my blog home page, how will I get people to my money site? Should my blog homepage be my target page or should my money site be my target page? If my money site is my target page, what do I do with my blog homepage?

This is the breakdown I've seen:

Target page
|
Blog, PR, Web 2.0, Articles
|
Other backlinks

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Most definitely use your blog as your money page !!!! Otherwise you are losing extra customers as not all of them will click through to your money site.

    Make the posts you want to on your blog and then switch pages for your main page. I have written how to do this here http://www.warriorforum.com/website-...-wp-trick.html

    Just make your top part of the page your money post, it's pretty easy and is bound to get you more sales.

      If you're funneling traffic to your home page on the blog, then you definitely want that home page to do something for you. either collect an email there or promote a product there.

      Start with your objective in mind and then decide how you're going to drive traffic to meet your objectives. Don't get hung up on SEO, that's just a way of driving traffic.

    I direct everything to my home page which is a squeeze page.

    My blog is also set up to direct people to the squeeze page.

    Hopefully your blog is integrated into your site layout, but your blog should be a source of long tail keyword traffic that funnels those visitors to your sales page(s)

    I'm afraid I don't quite understand exactly what you're asking here, msrock4: I suspect that we use some of those terms with slightly different meanings. Misunderstandings are so very easy.

    If it helps ... in each of my niches, I direct my traffic to the landing page of my site (my sites all happen to be blogs, technically, though one wouldn't necessarily know that from looking at them), which always contains a prominently incentivized opt-in at the top, and various other content lower down (a product review, a navigation system, an article, and so on).

    I'm an affiliate marketer, myself, so the primary purpose of my landing pages is to collect my prospective customers' email addresses, and everything else is secondary to that. It wouldn't matter to me whether I do so on a "blog" specifically, or on a "website that isn't a blog". (The distinction between the two, these days, is in any case pretty artificial and arbitrary.)

    After extensive split-testing, however, I know that (for my own business - your mileage may vary, of course) sending/drawing my traffic to a squeeze page doesn't work as well.

    "Sales pages"?! Who said anything about "sales pages"?!
