For your mind, you don post and quote.....better remove your copy and paste blog from my face.

Inside your affiliate marketing category, you have only two post, one which talks about Windows OS and MS office, and yet you are telling if I want to learn more....

Let me school you a little, landing page is not email marketing, because it could be connected to a "buy now" button ....And that has got nothing to do with email.

Gentle advice, work more , study more and stop jumping. Also work on your blog....copy and past with take you anywhere.

Don't expect further response if you quote me, you are too much of a beginner who is eager to teach what he doesn't know, like we both know, you have never created a landing page and kept it running for 1month.

You are a bloody monkey. An idiot at that.

Landing pages are meant to collect emails and the essence is to send followup messages to subscribers.

Other pages like sales page and thank you page exists but the word landing page is directly connected to email marketing.

FYI, I don't blog full time. In fact, I use my hosting and domain for the purpose of creating landing pages mainly.

I doubt if I have a point to prove to an slowpoke like you.


Can you imagine this tout.

Let it go @Negro
