The 'Long Layout'
• Be sure that each section is clearly defined — borders, background colors, headings, etc.
• Don't make them scroll to convert• Include multiple or a "pinned" CTA that is ever present• User proper scroll or click tracking to know what is engaging
and what is a waste• Don't clutter, crown, or 'squeeze' in content - not a substitute
for a microsite• Fight the urge to create meaningless or overly robust
content in order to accommodate the layout• If it doesn't work, don't get overly attached to the trend
