Why
advertise at the Search Engine web sites?
Studies have proven that people searching for products and services will
utilize a search engine as part of the buying process as one of the most
common experiences. The real proof is in your own experiences and the
fact that search engine web sites are the most visited sites.
For example, 9 search
web sites are in the top 20 most popular sites. Ignoring advertising at
these important sites to increase market mind share is an opportunity
lost. You have a range of budget options from costly banner advertising
to special ranking in search results. (see: "Search
Engine Positioning")
Isn't
submitting to Search Engine Web sites free? Like any marketing tool, there is a cost associated with
it's use. Although many search engine web sites will allow free submission,
it could take several months before your site is indexed (crawled) by
their automated programs (spider, robot, crawler). Even after your site
has been indexed don't expect it to achieve a positive ranking position.
Plan your site navigation, write keyword rich copy in static pages and
solicit quality links to your site. Good web content is the foundation
of high ranking. Increasing your partner program links and other relevant
content or directory listings to develop link popularity will improve
your ranking.
What
is a search engine Pay Per Click marketing program? Pay Per Click programs are probably the quickest way to
the top and the best ROI online! Pay Per Click allows you to bid for whatever
sponsored listing position you want within the PPC providers search engine
partners. It pays to be in the top 3 search engine results because 85%
of people searching will click on one of those first three web sites.
We call the top 3 search engine results "the Golden Three" because
those top three make 85% of the gold. You can bid for the position you
want for a specific keyword phrase. Your Title and Listing Description
must be extremely relevant to the landing page URL. This is how they maintain
the integrity of the listings. Ask us about our search
engine positioning services.
What
is Link Popularity?
Search engine robots or crawlers have the ability to calculate how many
sites link to your site. Some of them consider the keywords on the site
that link to you in order to match relevancy. In other words, if your
site is about “travel in Italy”, sites linking to you that
also have text about “travel in Italy” would be considered
relevant while an auto parts store linking to your site would not. The
popularity of the sites linking to yours is also considered. Therefore,
you would not want to solicit links from sites merely for the sake of
adding a link. In fact, this could have a negative ranking affect. This
part of the algorithm seems logical: if many other sites think your site
is worth linking to, then your site must be worth consideration. It’s
a popularity contest.
To improve your link popularity, use reciprocal links with another web
site that would interest your viewers and make sure to get your primary
keywords into the link text. For details on link popularity click
