- This post is a quick summary of some landing page ideas that John has read about lately. First up was site-flow disruption: a disconnect between the expecation (ad text) and the presentation (landing page) of your value proposition. Next was barrier scanning: discovering and removing obstacles on your landing pages that keep visitors from getting to your conversion trigger. You can also use barriers to guide visitors to your conversion triggers. The final point-to-ponder was designing landing pages for Quality Score.
