The average post-click landing page converts just 2-5 out of every 100 visitors. And that really bums us out.
We feel for the visitors to those post-click landing pages: the people who have to drudge through blocks of jargon-filled text to determine the benefits of converting, or hunt for a call-to-action button, or fill out monstrous forms that pry for useless personal information.
But we also feel for the creators of those post-click landing pages, because building a great one — a post-click landing page that converts even 10-20 out of every 100 visitors — is really, really hard. It takes studying. It takes testing. It takes diving deep into research reports and mountains of data to mine only a few valuable takeaways. And not everybody has that kind of time.
Thankfully, with the new “What is a post-click landing page?” guide, now all you need is an hour.

Chapter 1: What is a post-click landing page?
Do you know what a post-click landing page even is? Despite thinking they do, most people don’t (even Google gets it wrong.) And their misconceptions are leading them to make the cardinal sin of post-click landing page design.
In this chapter, find out the exact definition of a post-click landing page, along with the astonishing amount of leads heavy post-click landing page users generate compared to light post-click landing page users.
Chapter 2: Why Every Promotion Needs Its Own Page

Find out in this chapter from examples of real PPC ads and corresponding post-click landing pages that use “message match” and an optimized “conversion ratio” to persuade visitors to take action.
Chapter 3: Campaigns That Benefit From Targeted post-click landing pages
A targeted post-click landing page can boost the conversion rate of just about any campaign. But, there are four in particular that nearly always require a post-click landing page to reach their full potential.

Chapter 4: The Anatomy of a post-click landing page That Converts
Your headline can’t do all the work of persuading visitors, and neither can your call-to-action. Converting prospects takes the cooperation of many page elements.
In chapter 4, uncover study results from marketing influencers and, among others, MIT and Microsoft researchers, to find out what each element should communicate to your visitors both visually and psychologically. Then, see those elements in action in content created by major brands like Dropbox and Lifelock.
Chapter 5: How Experts Arrange High-Converting post-click landing pages
A post-click landing page is like a car. You can have all the perfect parts in front of you, but if they’re not arranged the right way, that car won’t work.
Similarly, your button can look flawless and your image stunning, but if you put both in the wrong place, it won’t matter. That post-click landing page won’t compel visitors to take action.
In this chapter, discover the secret to arranging high-converting post-click landing pages from a century-old concept developed by three eminent German psychologists.
Chapter 6: How to Pick the Best Type of post-click landing page for Your Campaign
Squeeze pages, click-through post-click landing pages, sales pages — they all have their part to play in the success of a marketing campaign. However, not every page works in every campaign.
To find out which page you need, read through chapter 6 to match the goal of your campaign to one of the five types of post-click landing pages, and see examples of each in action from Adobe, Variety, Barack Obama, and Forbes.

This concise closing sums up all the content in the chapters before it — from broad concepts like the definition of “message match,” all the way down to specific ones, like the three qualities your copy should exhibit.
Keep in mind, there are no examples in this recap or case studies to learn from, so we highly recommend you don’t skip over the first six chapters. This should only be used as a review.
