Every so often on PPC.org, I will create a range of articles that can be considered a ‘mini-series’ looking into a specific area of pay per click advertising. One of the mini-
series I have been doing has been based on the numerous types of landing pages an advertiser of PPC can choose to use as their landing page with ways to improve it too. For this reason, here is a complete look into the mini-series on how to improve any type of landing page so you can make sure it is as optimised to convert as possible.
2 Ways To Improve An Infomercial
An infomercial is a type of landing page which is closely related to a typical TV advert: it has lots of information all on one page. Therefore, your usually objective, in order to achieve a healthy conversion rate, is to get the web user to read as much of the content as possible and reduce any negative first impress ions your infomercial landing page might achieve since many infomercials are associated with spam.

The first point that needs to be made loud and clear is that if you do not have to use your homepage as a landing page, don’t!

For this reason, there are a few ways you can easily improve a product/service landing page.
2 Ways To Improve A Click Through Landing Page
If you look at many of the landing pages current advertisers use for their PPC campaigns, you will find many of these campaigns are using click through pages. Why?
