Which is my homepage?

6 replies
If I have a blog and a squeeze page, which do I put as the homepage?

domain.com = squeeze page
domain.com/blog = blog page

Like that? Or like this:

domain.com = blog page
domain.com/squeeze = squeeze page

Which one?

Obviously the goal is to get as much traffic as possible to the squeeze page.

    It could be either or. None of your visitors will know the difference. But I recommend that you use your blog as your home page. This way you can write articles about any subject matter and include links to your various squeeze pages within those articles to your visitors.

    For example, if you write a post about list building you can promote an affiliate product like "lead rocket". You would then direct the visitors reading that post to your affiliate promotion at www.yoursite.com/leadrocket. You can add as many squeeze pages as you like and get traffic to your squeeze pages from multiple sources like your own site, youtube, article marketing, ppc etc.

    I would say you build your blog on the main domain as it will have the most content and will be easier to rank. On your blog you then have optin forms and other things that direct people to your squeeze page. But a squeeze page as the homepage won't get your site ranking very well.

    You could use domain.com/squeeze and then use a redirect plugin like WP Quickpage/post redirect plugin, or other, so if someone hits the home button or tries to go back to domain.com they will be on domain.com/squeeze . I like this as i don't want people going to home page and getting side tracked reading a bunch of posts. Then of course there is the HTML way, I have done it that way too but that's a different story. All depends on what your goal is.

    I'd suggest you to do domain.com/squeeze as your squeeze page.
