I've had WP installed on my main site for a few months now. I've been considering getting a unique LP done(you know those image LPs), but not sure how this will affect my site in terms of SEO.

Anyone ever have experience with this?
 


ive noticed my LP's and my wordpress sites get indexed "around" the same rate.. but obviously wordpress provides you with more pages.. etc.. a lot of it will come down to the content you have in the website.. but thats just from the little personal experience i have.. im sure others on here have a lot more data to fall back on..
 
How would I go about using a wp theme as a landing/sales page? still getting used to making pages
 
Well look around. Google wordpress themes. There is even a squeeze page theme running around out there if that is your thing. IMO premium themes are the way to go. Great quality and most have built in theme options that help you create a unique site easier and faster plus they typically have many color and theme layouts so you can use 1 theme over and over again. Most free themes are shit. Just like anything else you get what you pay for.
 
If you find a theme that you like and you want to turn it into a normal LP I usually just install it the regular way and get the site online. Then I look at the source code, copy it into a new index.php file and put the style sheet in the same directory.

Very crude and simple way of taking the confusing wordpress code out of the theme and turning it into a "normal" site.

Hope this helps

You could use the Flextheme if you want to make a Squeeze/Landing page within Wordpress. It was designed for this very purpose. Also, there are some video tutorials that explain how to do this in other themes as well.

Also,


from Binaryturf.com...

Create a php file with the following:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Landing Page
*/
?>
Now when you create a new page in Wordpress, down at the bottom under the “Page Template” drop-down you will see the “Landing Page” option. Select that and create a blank page with a suitable title for the landing page. Use the “Preview this Page” option to preview the page and see the changes if you do not want to publish it. We will come back to this page to see the changes as we implement the code in the landing page template.
