Landing page is considered to be a web page where visitors get after they click the link on a search engine results page. So, basically it is the first thing a visitor can see.
By definition:
– Every single page can be a landing page
– Depend how the the visitor get there
Ex: Contact + company name
It can be:
– Filling a form
– Download e-book

etc.
Landing page has the following classifications and varies on the needs of the company/ individual who created it for some advertising/ informational purpose : 1) Clickthrough, 2) Lead capture, 3) Info, 4) Viral landing pages, 5) Microsites, 6) Product detail pages, 7) Homepages.
