Perhaps if members could post a screenshot of the various landing pages we could critique them more intelligently. YOUR OWN. Afternic. Sedo. Efty. Uniregistry. Epik. UNDeveloped (DAN). etc.
But let's keep in mind that WHERE you host your landing page has absolutely no effect on landing traffic. None.
I will tell you that a landing page with an immediate buy it now might not work as well for my domains and might even turn some inquirers off. I am very skillful with negotiation and sales talk and I am more interested in getting the buyer's lead off my landing page than trying to herd him into clicking Buy it Now instantly. After all, I'm not selling a twenty dollar item where it is important to convert the landing into an immediate sale, indeed for me, hoping that the person landing on my domain will pay immediately what I want is imprudent, even counterproductive. For some domains it might be best to list the asking price right off the bat, for others, it might not.
The same goes for my real world legal services, whether for face to face clients or internet ones. My first words are not, Give me $$$, they are, what's the problem? The more I engage the potential client the more invested he feels in the process and the more likely that he'll feel like I'm the one he wants to give his money to by the end of the discussion.
How do other landing pages work? Are they geared towards getting the buyer's info for a broker to call him up or email, or towards having him pay immediately?
The top half (darker blue) is what is seen immediately upon landing. The bottom half usually must scroll a bit to see, depending on your screen size and browser.
