Keyword Index landing pages expose your keyword universe and get you found
Many pages on your site are organic landing pages. If an internet surfer arrives at your site from a search engine, that person has naturally or organically “landed” on your site. Landing page optimization is an important part of your online marketing campaign.
The purpose of a keyword index landing page is to provide an entry point for your website that indexes all the content available related to your keyword universe. Individual hyperlinks (200-2000) connect search engine spiders and human users to meta tag pages which list all content available related to a specific keyword phrase.
