Show Relevant Content
Content on the landing page should be the same or relevant to the source from where the user has landed on that page. For example, it’s weird to take someone to a web design landing page after clicking an Ad for SSD Hosting.
Limited Navigation
Avoid placing external links, so that users can’t bounce away. Don’t place a menu in the header or footer for navigation. Let the visitors do what you want them to do.
Make the page easy to share
Suppose a visitor lands on a page he likes the content but does not get converted. But he found the information useful for his friend, so make sure your landing page is easy to share.
