The landing page which a user (a person browsing the web) falls on, is ranked by search engines such as Google according to very strict criteria, here are a few points worth considering when creating a landing page for a high quality website.

The URL
The first thing we look at is the url. This may be related to the type of website or industry which the website is representing.

Although not essential, if the website can be evaluated quickly, from a glance at the url, this may be helpful for the user. By the same token, it is best to avoid urls which look like spam, or look to be promoting spammy type websites. Be careful notto use words which may be associated with pages full of pay per click adverts.

It is also a good idea to ensure your url does not contain garbled wording and random characters, these will not help with getting your web pages to the top of search engines such as Bing and Google.
