Creating a landing page for sales info
-
Hello there,
I am an author and I want to promote my books on my wordpress.com blog/site. I created a Google Adword ad for one of my books that directs people to a page on my blog that has links to my book’s listing on Amazon, ibooks, etc.
My question, is there a way to get rid of the header, sidebars, and RSS feeds so that it just shows my book, a blurb about it, author info, and the links to retailers?
I don’t want to infringe on any policy against doing this, I just want to know if I have to switch to wordpress.org. I love my site/blog and would rather stay on wordpress.com, but it looks like you need a special plugin to do this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JoeThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can do what you are suggesting, but probably not with your current theme. The option you need to achieve your goal is the ability to create pages with the “full-width-template”
Here is a list of all the themes that offer it:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/full-width-template/
Once you update your theme, you can create your landing page for your book, just make sure on the edit page you choose the “full-width-template” under page attributes.

to be clarify, this page would still have your site’s header and menu, but removing the sidebars will go along way toward achieving your goal.

The google ad isn’t ON my site, it just directs clickers to a page on my site. Does that still count as a foul?

Hi there,
Having advertising direct traffic TO your site is not against our Terms of Service. It is having advertising ON your site which is not allowed. This site should be OK as long as any amazon links that may be affiliate links are in keeping with the blog itself and are not the sole purpose of the site.

That’s great news. My site is NOT a commercial site, but I do want my followers to know where to purchase my books. The google ad directs clickers to one page on my site that has links to retailers, no ads themselves. I appreciate you looking into this.

Joe,
Could you please link me to the page in question? I’d like to review it to make sure that there’s no violation to our TOS just to make sure.
