Not bad idea for having a landing page on twitter. I have myself noticed ppl clicking on links at the twitter profile page, so worth some effort to put thought into a viable,proper landing page, minus any distractions like @ibz mentioned.

Thanks, really useful. I must work on some of those problems ASAP, for others I might need a little bit of analyze first.

I really appreciate your opinions and the time spent on my blog. I really do.

Interesting concept. I never heard about it before.

Your landing page seems OK with a few exceptions:
1) The big ads. I understand that you are making money out of those, but having them on the landing page sends the wrong message.
2) The “recent comments” and “categories” column. If this is a landing page, it should – in theory – have nothing to do with your blog (yes, you use the same platform, but that’s another story). It’s simply confusing to see something like “hey, this is my landing page” and “here are the most recent comments from this blog” next to each other.
3) The “last tweets” column. That’s completely useless, since a) the page was reached from twitter and b) most likely the exit will be towards twitter as well.
4) The page is very unbalanced – having the two big columns on one side and just a small space on the other side. But that’s a general problem with your blog.
Don’t think I have more after the first look …
