I would like to take a few minutes and show everyone a simple trick that will allow you to make keyword based landing pages. I will also use this script to build pages on my sites which google will index and so technically they will be hosting pages for me.
First thing you will do is create a landing page. You will name it index.php so I usually will make a subfolder to do this. The page can either be a sales, e commerce, article, etc. It will just need to have text on the page.
After you have made your page you will want to go through and make sure you have a keyword or keyword phrase throughout the page. This will be the default keyword phrase for this page. When you have finished creating your page you will open it up in your html editor. Go to the very top of the page (line #1) You will insert this code.
if ($_GET['page'] != “”)
{$title=ucwords(str_replace(”-”,” “,$_GET['page']));
} else {
$a=”KeyWord Phrase”;
}
?>
Now where it says keyword phrase you will put your default keyword phrase there. For instance if you were selling an ebook you would put $a=”Best Ebook Alive”; or whatever your phrase is.
Next step you will go through the index page and anywhere on the page you would like a keyword phrase to appear simply put <?php echo $a;?> So I am offering you <?php echo $a;?> Today. This can be anywhere on the page that you would like it.
After you have done this go ahead and save it then upload. Then go ahead and check it out on your site by going to the page location. Now since they are landing pages you will go to the url like this. http://www.yourdomain.com/?page=your-keyword-phrase (To test it enter in your default keyword phrase in the url string.) If you have done it right you will see your keyword phrase anywhere you inserted it on the page using the echo command. If you have done it right and see it then you are ready to see how this works. Simply in the url change your keyword phrase, so ?page=The-New-Keyword. Automatically when you go to the new url in will insert the new phrase on the page in place of your default phrase.
Now You can create keyword based pages on your site. This works well for ppc, or sending people to your site based on a keyword phrase. You can send people all day long to a new page with new keyword phrase. You can dig and bookmark as well all your new keyword phrased urls. Now if you would like the url string to show up as keyword-phrase.html then there is a .htaccess rewrite code that will do it. It is located on the CPAMindrime members area. I may try to get it and provide it if I have request for it. However if you are willing to spend $20.00 and join cpamindcrime it will be well worth it. I am not saying this because I work for the guy but because I know what he has back there. You can pay the one time then cancel and you wont need to pay again if you like.
Anyways moving on to the next trick that I do with this. I like to build my site up with pages to get a supersite. Now as I explained there is only duplicate penalties on your site. However you should be using the echo command in the Title Tag. You will also have several locations on the page including in the article, sidebar, navs, or wherever you like. By doing this you will not receive any penalties. Make sure you have a keyword themed page and you are good. (this has been tested many times)
Now how I do my pages is this. I will go to my competitors, google keyword tool, google trends, wordtracker, and get all the keywords and phrases I can get. I usually end up with hundreds to thousands when i am done. Now having those keyword phrases I will create a sitemap for this subfolder. In the sitemap I will list the urls using the keywords in them. If you end up using the ?page= that is fine because it just looks like a default wordpress url. If you are worried about google penalizing for having to many pages over night simply do a hundred urls, every week into the sitemap. Now after I have put in the URLs in I will simply upload to the subfolder.
Last step is to go to your Google Webmaster tools account and submit a second sitemap by just entering the location. Having a second sitemap is just fine. Last thing I do it put my analytics code on the bottom of the index.php page so I can track the landing pages.
That is all you need to do to make a ton of pages or landing pages. If you have questions about this simply contact me or leave a comment.
