15. alternative main pages

(from the AT news)
sept 05, 2005 - A free tool to generate htaccess code to support multiple landing pages is now available at http://www.arrowscripts.com/atx_htaccess.shtml
Alternative landing pages are good for many things: increasing your revenue, building bookmarkers, increasing click prod, etc. To increase click productivity on your site with alt landing pages, one of the best things to do is match your trade. For example, if your trade has a big toplist right at the top of his page, you can get away with that as well, because the surfer will recognize the layout and he knows where to find the galleries. Or if your trade offers a full movie scene, split in 20 parts, it's a great idea to offer this on a alt main page as well. Sites, especially MGPs of course, are bookmarked a lot because of specials like full movie scenes, so from trades that already offer this you can expect a lot of bookmarkers looking for more & different movies. Alt mainpages are also great to test out different click patterns and skim levels at once in a short period of time. Use a mainpage with &c=1, &=2, &=3 etc and keep monitoring the stats. Or try out different toplists, one with only the site title, one with the title + description, one with title + image, fill out all linktags and check the linktags-stats after a period of 24 hours to see what works best.
