Your homepage is not relevant anymore. Why? Most people arrive on your website not through the homepage but through any of the other pages, a blog increases the odds even more. With Social Media and Search Engines driving traffic to the blog post, you have to optimize the other pages to get your audience to a sale, or request for more information. This presentation will cover the challenge we have in sales / lead generation for a WordPress blog/site, and will share tips to optimize the path you can lead your audience towards a sale / lead.
