This is a great resource for startups! My biggest suggestion would somehow be a way to filter by things like type, style, etc. (a lot like http://patterntap.com/ does). It would also be nice if I could view more on a page, so I don't have to click through 11 pages of posts. Again, great work! :)

I don't see a way to submit a site to be added to the list, so I'll comment it here. You should add these 2 great landing pages:

http://www.ebay.com/new & https://www.facebook.com/about/graphsearch

I've always found pretty hard to compete just with the typical landing page - beautiful image, nice mission statement and a sign-up botton. how to out stand?

Personally, I've always found good the landing page of Dropbox with 120s video that explains exactly the core. Something almost impossible with a one-liner.

They're all aesthetically pleasing, but it'd be nice to see the highest-converting and find out what makes them successful.

Some landing pages look like shit but convert like the Spanish Inquisition, so I'd rather base my inspiration on those than a pretty but poor-performing landing page.

I'm not sure I'm entirely seeing the value here. You're presenting "the best" landing pages but there is no criteria for what makes the landing page "the best". I suppose as a source of inspiration, having lots of landing pages thrown in your face is useful but I'm still left wanting more from this.

What's the goal of the landing page? Why does this design meet this goal better than if it were designed in this other way? Some analysis of the landing page and service, coupled with analytics and conversion optimization results, would make this significantly more valuable of a resource.

Im not taking a shot at patio11 here, because he clearly is a standout member on HN & knows what he is doing, but http://www.bingocardcreator.com/ is a good example.

It doesnt follow any of the "design trends" you would see on dribbble or have the modern look that the sites on land-book do, but I would guess it converts much higher than most of these sites.

Is a horrible looking landing page, but every single pixel has been A/B tested and it has a great conversion rate. Especially considering the lifeblood of the site is through marketing (as user retention is extremely difficult), an excellent landing page is essential.

I moved off that page after half a second. Why?

Because its invasive. I had my volume off on my computer because I need silence at this very moment, yet these bastards turn my local computer's volume up. I mute again and the volume turns on again. This is the most blatantly disrespectful practice I have ever been exposed to from an "honest" site.

Two things I can't stand:

Music. I tend to have my own music in the background. If I really need to listen to the website, I will turn on the volume myself.

My Desktop is MY DESKTOP. I did not give this website permission to turn on the volume on MY DESKTOP! I don't care how honest your company is, this makes you look like a virus, and if you aren't pushing viruses, I can't think of a more clear and blatant disrespect to the users than this. Did they ever think that someone has a sleeping person / baby nearby? Maybe the person is at a library. Regardless if the person has any good reason, DON'T TURN ON MY DESKTOP VOLUME.
