The Ultimate 2010 Landing Page Resource Guide

Around this time last year there were many predictions that 2010 would be the year of landing page optimization, and in many ways it was. Tim Ash kicked off Conversion Conference all around the globe, many surveys showed that marketers realized the value in optimizing landing pages for conversions, and well, we welcomed many new customers into the ion family.
Online marketers definitely showed strong support for adopting landing page programs to increase the ROI of their campaigns this year, which makes me edge-of-my-seat excited for next year. But don’t let me get ahead of myself … here’s 2010 in review!
