Personalized URL-address (PURL) is an unique and a personalized landing page which was creating specially for everyone, who follows the link to your site from the different site. The meaning of it is explained by the example of B2B segment where it's being successfully applied for a long time. Let's say few users are searching for the same but using different words, e.g. car of certain brand. But the first one is searching "cars X-brand in Saint-Petersburg", the second one "loan for cars X-brand", and the third one «cars X-brand with complete package», but following to the landing page, they can see only the «cars X-brands» and leaves the site. The meaning of PURL is that the first user could see the text "cars X-brand in Saint-Petersburg" which makes him believe that you sell the car exactly in Saint-Petersburg, the second would know that you sell cars on credit, and the third one would find out that you sell cars exactly with full package. According to experts, usage of PURL increases conversion rate by enormously.

For B2B segment it works the same, however the point is not about personalization by search request typed by user, but about the name or client's company name or his interests which are getting known by communication channel from which the client linked our site: e-mail list, banner ad, contextual ad, ad on the certain site or print product. Let's consider a company does wholesale sales of building implements and runs a few promotional campaigns at the same time, therewith promotional leaflets advertise the same goods and its purchase conditions but the site advertises different selling proposition. It means for those who follows the link from leaflet there must be one landing page, for users from site - the different one.

It must be separately noted about usage of PURL in e-mail marketing. In this case you can personalize the landing page not only by selling proposition, but also note the client's company name and his name. Besides you are able to place here the forms, which your client could fill out telling more details about the company and its interests. This is very effective way to get information in B2B segment.
