When visitors are referred to your site from a search engine, they are definitely looking for something specific, If they don’t find what they want they might leave immediately though your blog might have have what the visitor wants but not correctly directed by the search engine.
Landing Site, is a wordpress plugin that can help solve this problem by showing related posts based the visitors search keywords.
Follow the steps to implement the plugin in you wordpress installation.
Step 1. Download LandingSites plugin from here. [ Direct Download Link ]
Step 2. Upload the plugin and activate the plugin in your WP Blog.
Step 3. Add this code to your single.php file.
Find this code: <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> and
paste this code after the above line.
<?php if (function_exists(’ls_getinfo’)) : ?>
<?php if (ls_getinfo(’isref’)) { ?>
<div class=”landingsites”>
<h2><?php ls_getinfo(’terms’); ?></h2>
<p>You came here from <?php ls_getinfo(referrer); ?> searching for <i><?php ls_getinfo(terms); ?></i>. These posts might be of interest:</p>
<ul>
<?php ls_related(5, 10, ‘<li>’, ‘</li>’, ”, ”, false, false); ?>
</ul></div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?>
