Why is Search Engine Positioning considered
to be so important?
A
recent study by a Market Research Group proves that search
engine positioning generates a better return of investment
(ROI) than any other conventional form of marketing. Search
engine marketing gives you a better return than any other
advertising media.
Google
currently has BILLIONS of web pages in their index. Today's
top U.S. search engines receive hundreds of millions of
searches per day. If your web site is not appearing within
the first two pages of these results you are missing thousands
of highly qualified leads.
Over
55% of all Internet purchases begin with a search engine,
so it only makes sense to target people who are already
looking for you in the first place! The quality of these
leads are incredibly high as these are people who are specifically
interested in your products or services ...right now.
Having
a top ranking in a major search engine is like having a
full page ad in the Yellow Pages in every major city of
the world. Our clients have seen incredible growth in their
sales as a result of being moved to the top of the search
engines.

How is your Pay Per Click Package
better than the pay per click search engines like Overture
(Goto) or Google's pay per click program?
Our
Pay Per Click Package is better for four very attractive
reasons:
Our
customers receive a FLAT RATE of 5 cents per visitor, regardless
of how popular the keyword is. Google's Adwords Select Program-which
has a minimum bid of 5 cents, and Overture's program-which
has a minimum bid of 10 cents, both charge much more for
popular search terms, if you want to occupy one of the top
spots. With our Pay Per Click Package, this is never an
issue.
The domain that we will optimize for our customers is DISPLAYED
AS PART OF THE REGULAR RESULTS in the search engines. Google's
Adwords Select Program, on the other hand, displays the
sites in a different color on the right of the screen and
Overture labels its customers' sites as Sponsored or Featured
in most search engines. What that does is highlight, in
the consumer's eyes, the fact that these are advertisements-and
in a world of commercials and pop-ups-choosing to be openly
sold to is not, for the most part, welcomed. By displaying
our customer's domain as part of the regular results, the
overall benefit is a much higher percentage of people that
will buy from the site when they visit.
Unlike Google and Overture, WE DO NOT LIMIT THE SIZE OF
THE TITLE AND DESCRIPTION of our customer's listings. Why
is this so important? Because the Title and Description
is the last line of defense that the customer has to ensure
that the visitors they are getting are as targeted as possible.
Displaying the Title and Description exactly as the customer
wants it can weed out the people that are unlikely to order
from them. With Overture, some search engines that take
their results (like AOL) will only display the Title-leaving
the description hidden unless the visitor places the mouse's
pointer over the site's listing. This attracts a massive
amount of untargeted visitors that the customer has to pay
for. What we do with our Pay Per Click Package is route
visitors to a domain owned by us, where they can see a detailed
description of what the customer's site is all about. The
customer is ONLY CHARGED IF their site is clicked on by
the newly informed visitor from our domain. The result?
The customer's visitors are extremely targeted-in most cases,
clicking the site only if the description matches their
needs.
Because we optimize our customers' domain to appear in the
regular search results, UNETHICAL COMPETITORS WILL NOT DELIBERATELY
CLICK ON A SITE MULTITPLE TIMES TO FRAUDULENTLY INCREASE
THEIR COMPETITION'S COSTS. Why? Because there will be no
way for them to know that our customers are paying us for
each visitor to their site.

What constitutes a top 10 ranking?
By a top 10 ranking, do you mean a top 10 position for one
keyword for all the search engines? Or, do you mean a top
10 position for one keyword for one search engine?
By
a top ten ranking, what we mean is a top ten position for
ONE KEYWORD in ONE SEARCH ENGINE. Say that we were optimizing
your site for the keyword "tourism in Australia"
and it came up in the top ten for both Altavista and Google.
This would be considered two top ten rankings.

Suppose, some of my pages have already
receive high rankings? Would you change them?
The
only page that we would modify in our customers' domain
is the homepage, to ensure that it gets the highest ranking
possible. In doing this, the appearance of the page would
not be altered in any significant way and the changes would
be almost invisible to its visitors.
However,
if the homepage already receives a high ranking, we wouldn't
alter it in any way. We believe in the old adage, "If
it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Will you upload the files that you
create to my site? Or, will I have to do it myself?
You
are truly The Master of Your Domain-the choice is completely
up to you. With temporary access to your site, we can upload
the files for you. However, if that scenario makes you uneasy,
we can simply give you the files and you or your webmaster
can upload them on your own.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the optimization process is
over, do you provide reports showing the position of my
site in the search engines?
Absolutely.
FOR NO EXTRA COST, we will provide you with a report to
show you exactly where you are ranked in each search engine
for each keyword at the end of the 6 month optimization
process.

What about those who claim to "Submit
your Web Site to Over 3500 Search Engines" ?
Not
only are these "submitting only" services a waste
of your money, but they can actually hurt your rankings!
These
companies typically promise to submit your web site to literally
thousands of search engines on a monthly schedule for a
cost of anywhere between $25 to $149, with no money back
guarantee of generating any top rankings. They will tell
you that it's very important to resubmit each month, but
the vast majority of these submitting companies are simply
individuals who have purchased an automated website submission
software for under $100.
They
can't guarantee ranking because search engine submission
is not enough. Only site optimization can improve your ranking.
Submission of an un-optimized web site just doesn't work.
Monthly
Re-Submission is a form of Spam to search engines, so they
often reject web sites submitted over and over this way.
A few years ago this did have some merit, but now it can
lead to your domain being flagged as Spam. You should never
resubmit to an engine unless your listing has dropped out
of its database.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you guarantee top ten ranking?
YES,
we stand behind our search engine rankings with a 100% Money
Back Guarantee. No strings - no catch, no risk. Just guaranteed
results - or it's free. You can't go wrong!

If I decide that I don't want to do
business with you anymore do I lose all my search engine
positions?
We
don't lock you into an expensive maintenance program with
the threat that you will lose your results if you are no
longer doing business with us.
Your
results are yours to keep. After all, you paid for them!
Over time, your positions may begin to slip, but it is possible
that some of your positions will remain indefinitely. We
have some clients who still enjoy great ranking after two
years, even though they don't pay maintenance fees. There
is just no way to predict exactly what will happen.

What exactly is "WordTracker",
and why is it so important?
WordTracker
is the best way to find the most effective keywords. You
can enter a keyword, and it will give you lots more ideas
for additional keywords related to your business. Plus it
will tell you how many people actually search for those
words, and how competitive those words are.

Do your promotion packages include
submission fees that the search engines charge for a listing?
Our
promotion packages do not include search engine submission
fees. These fees are paid directly to each submission service.
We are not affiliated with these services in any way.
At
the very minimum, you simply must take advantage of two
services; Yahoo & Inktomi. The total amount for these
two is $338.00, annually recurring. You need to add these
fees into your budget when selecting a promotion package.
