Hi guys! I have created this squeeze page www.muscle-blog.com. The rest of the site is working on the wordpress platform .

I am thinking of writing some articles and doing seo for them.Is the seo structure so far ok?

Is it an issue that the home page is a squeeze page?

    just so you know, you have quite a few typos and misspellings on your squeeze page. I would read over it and double check. Once people see those they aren't going to want to sign up.

    Here is a checklist of things that you should always do to make sure that your page is fully optimized:
    1. Domain Name: the keyword(s) that your are targeting should be in your url.
    2. Home Title Tag: your main keyword should show up twice here, with a variation of that keyword (eg: lose weight and weight loss).
    3. H1, H2, & H3 Tags: these tags are very important(especially <H1>), and should always contain your keyword.
    4. Keyword Location Within Text: try to place each your keyword near the beginning of the first sentence of each paragraph (maintaining at least 100 words between paragraphs).
    5. Keyword Density: you should aim for a density of 3% for each keyword that you're targeting.
    6. Use Your Keywords as Anchor Text on your page: link to an internal page on your site, and then link to an authority site (eg: wikipedia) that is related to your keyword. Always remember to use the "No Follow" tag (rel="nofollow") when linking to an external site.
    7. Images: use the "alt tag" and rename your images to your chosen keywords.
    8. Decorate Your Keywords: bold, italicise, or underline your keyword at least one time.
    9. Google Loves Unique Content: your post should be between 850-1000 words and be well structured around your main keywords.

    I wouldn't have any links that leave the sales page, that's the equivalent of putting a person in a room with 5 exit doors (links), chances are very high they'll pick the wrong door (link).

    Matter of fact, having multiple links on a sales page is one of the worst sales tactics that most Clickbank vendors use.

    One thing I've learned over the years about IM, simplicity is better than allowing traffic to make decisions. What I mean by that is, like the example above, multiple choices leads to poor conversions.

    I would also do a 50/50 split test on the email opt-in box location, something like this:





    Test-1










    Test-2

        Thanks,

        Like I said I wouldn't have links leading away from a page like you have, with the optin form. Use that page as a final destination for traffic.

        You can SEO the rest of the sites pages, with links pointing at that page from the rest of the internal pages, which will help funnel traffic to the optin form & SEO at the same time.

        Traffic will have three possible options:
        • Optin to your list
        • Hit the browser back button
        • Close the browser/tab

        It's not an issue that the Index page is a squeeze page, so long as your descriptive why the traffic should optin to your list.

        Yes, create supporting pages/articles/links pointing at your squeeze page, be sure to use the correct anchor-text keywords & not things like optin, or join my list. Use something like (example):


        Aenean vestibulum nisi at ipsum interdum nec aliquam dolor tempus, Be sure to signup for our 7-Day E-course on "How to Build Muscle". Etiam risus magna, mollis a congue ac, convallis in elit. Sed ultricies, tellus at congue suscipit, magna sapien consectetur augue, nec interdum nulla ipsum a sem...
        Assumes How to Build Muscle is one of your target keywords your trying to rank for in the SERPs.

            Also another IM trick that might increase optins is to make the optin button bright yellow, make that button stand out on the page so the eyes are drawn to that location on the sales page.

            Don't forget to track all changes that you do to a squeeze page, it's very important to know what changes out perform all other changes that you make over time.

    Also, pay attention to browser size. When I don't maximize my browser, your sign up box completely disappears. The width of your content is too big for some screen resolutions.

    Also, those 3 red lines above the above the sign up box look very unprofessional (in my opinion).

    Also, not sure how you are driving traffic, but if you want search engine traffic, you will need a lot more content on this page.

    Aside from the design, what type of traffic are you going to go after with this site? organic, email, social net?

    if organic you will benefit from a sitemap.xml and more content... I didn't see a site map here http://muscle-blog.com/sitemap.xml when I visited...
