Landing Pages and Bananas
A landing page can only cause one of five actions:
Get a visitor to click (to go to another page, on your site or someone else's)
Get a visitor to buy Get a visitor to give permission for you to follow up (by email,
phone, etc.). This includes registration of course. Get a visitor to tell a friend (and the more subtle) Get a visitor to learn something, which
could even include posting a comment or giving you some sort of feedback
