Landing page on Wordpress?

Personally I go with pages... but it depends. If you are going to have daily updated articles or something go with posts.
Come to think of it I pretty much just tear the shit out of the wordpress code and do all the content coding by hand but leave the wordpress core. I'm not sure if it even really benifits me to be doing it in wordpress at this point.
But yeah, I like pages

What I am starting to think (and I could be thinking wrong) is to put landing pages on pages and use the blog posts for articles and information for SEO purposes and to make adwords happy.
The posts system is for chronologic content; if you want to build a flog or something, you can make use of that to imitate the blog look; if you want to build a more generic blog, you could use it to fill a news section. Your actual lander, if static, should probably be a page - an area "disconnected" from the time-sensitive organization of the blog.
Of course, the lines are rather iffy and it really doesn't matter. Do what works for you, really.

Heh. I seem to be following you around this morning, Refrozen.
@op if you're trying to do a lander in wp I would imagine you would want it to be static. For seo I use posts, but for landers I always use static pages.

Also depends upon the template and plugins.
In my current setup, I use posts for both, but have a plug-in to define which category is shown as my lander pages and which category is shown for my articles.

actually a cool trick if you are only doing a single page lander to make the page in wordpress and then rip it (use Htt track or Pagenest) and host it as a static HTML. If you get bursts of traffic it makes it load mucho faster.
If this is the home page (landing page) of your site, you definitely want to do a "page".
A "post" would be a blog post, which would be a different part of your site. Also, depending on what template you use on Wordpress, blog "posts" may not be as easy to find as a "page".

Use both. Pitch and overhead stuff (Contact, TOS, etc.) on static pages, content drip(s) on blog posts.
