3. Subscriber Landing Page on Your Website
Although it may seem easier to use a plugin for a subscriber landing page on your website, most of them have one big drawback. It is very hard to automate regular emails and newsletters to go out to your growing list of subscribers.
That is why most people prefer to use the free landing page designers offered in Aweber, Mailchimp, MailerLite, or GetResponse because it is more manageable in the long run.
I know that Aweber and MailerLite both have landing pages (whole screen) and pop-ups (smaller boxes) to gain subscribers and also have high delivery rates for your emails, even to Gmail accounts.
Everyone should set up an autoresponder soon after they have a website with posts on it, as you don’t want to miss out on building your list of followers. Aweber and MailerLite both are free up to 500 subscribers and super easy to set up. Aweber is happy to have MMO websites and MailerLite is excellent for non-MMO websites.
Here is some training for either one:

Conclusion
When you are new it is easy to feel overwhelmed by all the information that you are getting and not really know what to do first. You can always add landing pages in a few months when you are writing 2 posts per week, you can go back and add your call to action and link it to your landing page on your website.
Until then, keep doing a lesson each day and the assignments as they will give you the needed practical information to grow a stable and profitable website. You can monetize it progressively as you learn more.
‘Sure, and steady will win the race.’ I hope that this has settled your mind on landing pages and where and how to use them.

I can honestly say I don't know why that has happened. Perhaps you could ask the technical people here as I've never heard of that happening before.
Perhaps put the question in a blog here as you will then have all the community in with ideas. Diane or Abie may have come across it before, you could perhaps PM them to ask.
Sorry, I can't help.

What you are describing here is one type of landing page.
Many years ago (sorry not sure when) Google defined a landing page as being any page that a visitor lands on as a result of clicking a SERPS result.
Over the years marketers have defined and given names to landing pages to make it easier to clarify specific purposes for such pages. Probably the most obvious is "squeeze page" meaning a landing page designed to encourage someone to give you their email address.
Google actually doesn't like marketing or sales pages turning up in SERPS! They want SERPS to show paid adverts or organic content.
These facts don't detract however from the value of your information on the different types of marketing and sales landing pages.

I agree with what you are saying. Google doesn't want to see these promo landing pages they should be a link from an informative article or review. they have a specific place in our marketing.
Thanks
