Landing Page Advice?
I've been helping a friend of mine with a niche golf site that he has. One of the biggest issues that I'm trying to work through right now is that he has multiple landing pages being linked to on lots of different pages.
He hasn't been very systematic or organized with his landing page creation and optimization, and so he would create a landing page, and then later he would tweak it and create a new one. He may have changed the links in the sidebar and what not, but there are still active links to other landing pages on older pages and posts.
The problem is that these changes have not been data-driven, and the analytics aren't properly setup to even see if some landing pages are performing better than others.
OK, now this is where I need some help -
I'm trying to figure out the best way to setup the landing page. I think that for now we should have all links directed to one main landing page, so that we can see how well it converts, and then we can A/B test that landing page and optimize it.
My question is how is the best way to do this? Should I just direct all links to one URL, and then 301 redirect that URL anytime I want to put up a new landing page?
I've been trying to figure out how to do it without having to redirect the URL. We use premise for the landing pages.
Maybe this is a stupid question because it may be easy to keep the same URL and swap in a new landing page in place of the old one?
Anyway, I was just curious as to the best practices used by other internet marketers as far as how to manage all those landing page links. Thanks!
