Is anybody here using unbounce LP styles for dating offers? what is your avg LP CTR if you are not targeting interest/angle in your LP?
I know Cyberdelicstudios started out with Unbounce and ended up moving off them to a self-hosted lander solution.
I'd strongly recommend hosting on your own server: there are a couple of technical problems with tracking through Unbounce which are solvable, but a pain, and you'll probably get better performance (loading speed etc) from your own server too.
Stats will vary. It all comes down to the combination of style, color, images, copy, demographic, traffic, etc. It's hard to say if unbounce LPs performs better than other LPs.
They do generate good templates to start out with, but I wouldn't host it on there. Like caurmen says, you're going to have technical issues like not being able to use PHP on their pages.
I opted in hosting the lander on my own Dedi. BTW, I created a follow along camp. would be great if you guys give it a look.
What you can also do is create the lander in unbounce, go to the URL of the LP and "command S" it.
Allowing you to create LP's quick and host it yourself.
Cheers
Can unbounce do everything you could essentially do in photoshop?
I don't think so, but its quick and easy for photoshop dumbies
I found Unbounce waaaay too limiting for me design-wise. Lots of presets but not much power.
BTW, keep an eye on this for web design: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...eb-design-tool . Looks very exciting.
Unbounce creates some decent LPs, for a WYSIWYG. They also have some decent templates for getting started, if you're new to creating LPs.
One caveat though, their hosting is dog shit slow...

700+ms (7/10th's of a second) it takes their server to return the HTML of the LP, then two blocking CSS files that also take hundreds of ms to be sent... all pushing the page start render time back to 1.8s. That's 1.8s that the user is sitting there w/ a blank screen AFTER they've clicked the link to go to your LP... and this is excluding any tracking redirects you have before the lander. That shit is simply unacceptable.
You'd be better off saving the LP assets manually, and serving them from your own hosting as mentioned above.
Wow. That's moving past "slow Internet load times" and toward "unusually fast carrier pigeon". Not terribly far away from the 3 Second Load Time Of Death.
Definitely run 'em from your own server.
FWIW - I just used unbounce's free trial to do a mobile adult dating lander. Just saved the html, made all the resources (images/css/etc) local and it worked great (and much much faster loading on my own server than theirs, even though their original lander source has every file is loaded from the CDN, it's still much slower).
But the lander looks pretty good - testing it now. Will let you know how it goes. Their mobile landers aren't really responsive though, so its just sized to look well on smaller displays. But it does look good on iphones, etc.
I did the same! Just saved the page and got rid of some useless resources. But when you want to add/edit the content, you need to apply some css mods as they are using absolute positioning for their page elements & that is some extra works. I decided to leave it alone and come up with my own LP using Dream Weaver.
