Thanks for visiting. The landing pages and the need to “speak English” was why I settled on that route. It also helps with Google Analytics because you know exactly how your campaign is doing since it is an “exclusive” page. Watch out though. If you have the “Latest Articles” module enabled, the ever helpful Joomla! wizard will still show your article.

Thanks for the helpful post. I kind of figured this was the best solution, especially if using the SEF feature in Joomla. We use a lot of standalone sales landing pages where we don’t want to give the page visitor the option of navigating away from a page so it’s imperative to us to be able to create simple pages without navigation links to other site pages. I guess this is a standard issue with a CMS.

Thanks for your input David. I tried that and it was not satisfactory. When sending promotional letters or postcards to clients, it is easier to send a link that ends with say, “/serverwatch.html” that is easy to type than a long component id link that they may not be interested in typing in. But without a menu entry, they would get a 404 error. Plus, I really prefer the “human language” format.
