A microsite is a special Web site that focuses on one particular
product, service, or marketing initiative. Some microsites have
only one page, while most have only several pages. More often than
note, a microsite will have its own domain name or URL.
For example, Company A would most likely have a Web site at www.companya.com.
However, when Company A introduces its new Widget 3000, it might
decide to build a small Web site dedicated solely to this new product:
www.widget3000.com. Or, if there will
be an event dedicated solely to the launch of this new product,
Company A might build the following microsite: www.widget3000expo.com.
A microsite can also be a landing page that is part of a specific
marketing initiative. A landing page (also called a "splash
page") is a Web page that usually requests some sort of action
on the part of the visitor. It could be registration to an event,
or it could be signing up for a newsletter (free or paid). It could
be a form in which visitors learn about a product or service and
then request additional information.
For example, here is a microsite for a REALTOR® who specializes
in Alpharetta
homes. The long-term goal for this microsite is to use search
engine marketing and search engine optimization to achieve decent
search engine rankings for the keywords "Alpharette homes"
and "Alpharetta real estate." When visitors come to the
site, the goal is for these visitors to complete the contact form
so that the REALTOR® can contact them.
Depending on your business and its products or services, a microsite
may become a useful part of your overall marketing effort. For more
