Link Fraud Law Passed: Will It Help?

Attorney General Hails Passage of the Child Protection Act

 

WASHINGTON, July 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales released the following statement today regarding Congressional passage of H.R. 4472, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006:

 

"America's children will be better protected from every parent's worst nightmare -- sexual predators -- thanks to passage of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. I applaud both the House and Senate -- and in particular the leadership of Chairman Specter in the Senate and Chairman Sensenbrenner in the House -- for passing this comprehensive bill, which includes provisions proposed by the Department of Justice. The protection of our Nation's children has been, and will continue to be, one of the Department's highest priorities, and we believe this bill will help us do our job even better."

 

Background

 

Important measures in the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act include:

 

-- Providing statutory authorization for one of the Attorney General's major initiatives, Project Safe Childhood, which will be implemented through U.S. Attorney-led, locally designed partnerships of federal, state, and local law enforcement to investigate and prosecute technologically-facilitated crimes against children.

 

-- Strengthening the national standards for sex offender registration and notification, including:

 

-- Consistent requirements that convicted sex offenders register in the jurisdictions in which they live, work, or go to school, and periodically appear in person before officials of those jurisdictions to verify and update their registration information.

 

-- Longer required registration periods for sex offenders, including registration for at least 25 years or for life for persons convicted of offenses involving sexual abuse or exploitation of children, for rapists, and for recidivists.

 

-- More consistent availability to the public through the Internet of information concerning the identities and locations of sex offenders who are required to register.

 

-- Enhancing the penalties for various federal violent crimes and sexual offenses against children.

 

-- Authorizing the Attorney General to make grants to support pilot programs for electronic monitoring of released sex offenders, and to support effective civil commitment programs for mentally disordered or abnormal sex offenders who remain dangerous.

 

-- Allowing the Attorney General to seek the federal civil commitment of sexually dangerous persons to treatment facilities until such time as they no longer pose a threat to other persons.

 

-- Including the provisions of what is popularly known as "Masha's Law," to make it clear that adults who were victims of sexual exploitation when they were children can sue both those who initially committed the exploitation and those who perpetuate the exploitation by downloading the images of abuse.

 

-- Enhancing recordkeeping requirements to ensure that minors are not depicted in sexually explicit material.

 

-- Prohibiting the insidious practice engaged in by certain sexually explicit web sites of hiding innocuous terms in the hypertext markup language so that a search for those terms on the Internet yields links to the sexually explicit web sites.

New Search Engine From USLINX Launches

 

USLINX Launches New Search Engine

USLINX.com, a global Internet company, launched a new search engine Friday, claiming it is a faster and easier way for users to find what they are searching for on the Internet.

Simpson, IL (PRWEB) July 22, 2006 -- USLINX.com, a global Internet company, launched a new search engine Friday, claiming it is a faster and easier way for users to find what they are searching for on the Internet.

Building on the back-end technological improvements in relevancy and comprehensiveness while leveraging the assets of major search networks, the new search engine provides a better search experience in a cleaner, easy-to-use interface and faster ways to find relevant information, USLINX said.

"USLINX's goal is to provide the highest quality search experience on the Internet," said Ron McBride, chief executive officer of USLINX. “The new search engine marks the next step in building an integrated search platform that leverages the most relevant, comprehensive content from across the Web”, he said.

"In the last years we have used others search engines, and have tried to understand what our users are looking for in a search experience and these latest improvements to Clik-N-Search’s Search are focused on providing the key features that our users want," McBride said.

”We believe USLINX's new search engine, which combines Google's, Yahoo's, DMOZ, and MSN’s Indexes, will provide customized services that will make Clik-N-Search, one of the world's greatest online search engines.” He said.

”According to Search Engine Watch, an industry newsletter, Google handles an average of 112 million searches a day and Yahoo handles about 42 million, shucks we are just babies along side these elephants”, McBride continued.

At present, USLINX uses on its portal a search engine it licensed and co-branded with DMOZ. To reduce its dependence on others, USLINX had this search engine created in Israel, by a specialist. USLINX is expected to incorporate its 21 divisions into its search engine by year's end.

USLINX's new search engine is immediately available at http://www.uslinx.com/websearch. USLINX is configured to provide the results in a way that brings you the #1 Yahoo Result when searching for a keyword or phrase as Clik-N-Search’s #1 result, #1 on Google as its number two result, #1 on DMOZ as its number three result, and #1 on MSN for its number four result, then repeats, with Yahoo number two as USLINX number 5 result, and so on and so forth.

In contrast to the cluttered search pages of MSN and Yahoo (although the new look of Yahoo is much simpler now), USLINX opted for the simple look ala Google. But you can’t get much plainer than USLINX has done. And it does give you the results, numbered for easy reverence.

A Search for “Yahoo Search Engine” returned the following:
Results 1 - 10 of about 148,700,000 for Yahoo Search Engine.
Someone said it takes 5 seconds to read a result from a search. At the rate USLINX’s Clik-N-Search returns, results it would take you, 23 years, 6 months, 3 days, 1 hour, 1 minute, 1.8 seconds to read all the results from this one search. That’s 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for over 23 ½ years to read all the results for a search “Yahoo Search Engine.”

Company Acquires New Domain Names and Auction Premier Domain Names

 

Internet Finance International Acquires New Domain Name Verticals, Launches Five New Websites and Places Premier Domain Names Into Auction

Internet Finance International acquires new domain name verticals, launches five new websites and places premier domain names into auction.

Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2006 -- Leading Internet media distribution and direct search firm Internet Finance International Corporation recently acquired a portfolio of approximately 300 domain names across two major verticals – business and travel with the Company’s portfolio estimated at 1400 domain names and climbing. Chris Kern, President of Internet Finance International Corp. stated “the recent domain name acquisitions in the travel and business verticals are very valuable, especially when coupled with a specific type of business, city, state or country. These recent additions are crucial to building our online media network and creates a compelling platform for direct search and local search which are two of the hottest markets in Internet advertising.” Further developments and specific site launches in these verticals will be announced in the near future.

Internet Finance also brings the public five new websites that were launched during July, 2006. These specific vertical portals, more recently referred to as vortals, can be found under the following names: www.ServiceHealth.com, www.HealthPlanPros.com, www.eCompanies.info, www.HotelPlace.net , and www.BestHotelsInGermany.com. These vortals were designed and launched to become leading destinations to provide niche oriented content and advertising placement to improve the user experience and to better match targeted media to consumer needs. Chris Kern commented “our business plan and strategy is very focused towards building depth within specific market niches, similar to major direct search and local search companies such as NameMedia, and Marchex, which collectively have more than a million domain names and related websites.” Internet Direct Search and Local Search advertising is estimated to bring in between $400Million and $800Million in 2006, and in excess of $1Billion in 2007 by estimates from several media analysts. “This is a emerging aggressive growth market where there is plenty of room for established companies and new players to come on board and contribute to this burgeoning sector of Internet media – we’re here to stay,” stated Mr. Kern.

Internet Finance also has decided to re-deploy another segment of its business model - selling niche oriented domain names. DNJournal reports recent July domain name sales showing Wifi.com being sold for $225,000; PrimeRate.com changing hands for $110,000, and Diamond.com being the 2006 sale of the year at $7,500,000 (sold in May 2006). The Company has elected to place highly relevant direct search domain names such as SearchFrankfurt.com, BestHotelsInCanada.com, SearchForHotels.net, and WifiShopping.net, amongst several others, into to auction at Sedo.com – the world’s largest domain name marketplace.

About Internet Finance International Corporation:
Internet Finance International Corporation was founded in 1992 on the premise of assisting small and middle market companies with their business development and financing needs. Since 1996, the Company’s focus was realigned towards acquiring domain names, online business development and growing its Internet media distribution network. With approximately 1400 domain names and 20 leading Internet properties, the Company benefits from leveraging current technology and direct search methodologies to optimize the online experience in addition to acquiring strategic domain names and domain name portfolios serving specific market verticals and niches.

All Things Great And Small: Google Checkout and Micropayments

I had heard about Google Checkout a while back and thought it made sense. After it doesn't hurt to have a competitor to PayPal, which I like.

Well, I ran across an article about it and decided to check it out and sign up. It seems pretty good. The idea of a central account that allows you to make purchases easily on-line is great, and their fees are low for sellers. And not passing the credit card along to vendors should help to reduce the security risk of that information being in many databases all over the place and more chances for the information to fall into the wrong hands.

But I was struck by a thought related to an interest I've had for several years now, and that is the question of Micro Payments. The challenge for selling things for small amounts of money, even fractions of a cent has been the costs involved with doing it. Some attempts have been made with systems that charge you a lump sum and then debit your account as you buy ring tones, music, photos, etc. The problem is that I don't think most Americans like this model. I always feel like my money is "tied up" when it could be doing other things for me. The other problem is fraud. Policing many millions of small transactions every day may be so costly that it eats into profits.

Well, I think I figured out the solution to the fraud issue a long time ago, but after mentioning it to a former employer who I thought might be interested, I have since kept my idea to myself. Perhaps I may still get a chance to share this idea with someone who could actually be in a position to see if it would work.... :-)

Anyway, I did a few searches on "google checkout micropayments" and found surprisingly few hits that had any information. Most stated that Google Checkout didn't offer micro-payments, most said that it wasn't ever going to happen, and only one thought that's what's next to be offered. So there are not many of us that can see the next logical step and that is Google Micropayments.

I think this will happen, because Google Checkout is in a perfect position to aggregate transactions to get the billing charges down low enough. Look for something like a Micropayment account where you can review all your charges and then get billed periodically, perhaps monthly. Merchants will get the same thing, a reporting system that allows the to track transactions on a detailed or summary level. Merchant fees will be low because the cost involved with be low. Google checkout will make it easy to buy bits and bytes with a simple login. Sales of wallpaper, icons, jokes, songs, and things we can't yet imagine will become even larger than they are now. Sites that don't sell things will have Virtual Tip Jars. Like a site? Toss a quarter in the tip jar. Want to donate to a charity easily? Slip a dollar into the tipjar. And, since you won't have to fill out a long checkout form, buying things with your handheld/phone will be easier. Wow!

This is so damn huge I can hardly stand it!

Of course, the huge potential will also draw the scammers, many of whom are smart enough to know that stealing a little from many is the low-profile way to go. Many see this as a problem that will quickly doom the concept of micropayments, but they don't know that I already have a solution... :-)

RE: H Ranking Position

Hi James,

 

Thanks for your message.

 

Yes actually, it's been at the top of all the search engines that we have targeted for some time now. We still have a PR4 at Google, but we expect a 5 or 6 at the next update. The site is generating business, which is the most important thing. So while it's nice you are concerned about how our site is doing in the search engines, things are going well.

 

Say I have a question for you? If you also get sites to the top of the search engines, that means getting top rankings in the search engines for all the important keywords and keyword phrases, by optimizing the site and submitting the site to search engines and directories, you know practicing good search engine optimization or SEO, then why are you sending out email messages like this?

 

I mean, if your service really worked, wouldn't you just do it for yourself, get those top rankings and have lots of clients contact you with business? You service does work, doesn't it? Then why the email spam? I just don't get it. Perhaps it did not occur to you that you could use your service for your self, get a search engine friendly site, optimize it with scored keyword phrases, submit the site to as many search engines as possible, maybe do some link building just to make sure? Then you can sit back and watch the leads just roll in! You should try it, then you won't have to bother people with these silly emails that make no sense.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Holistic Search Campaign Actually Synergistic?

Holistic Search Campaign Management--Measuring Conversions Against The Lift

 

by Rob Garner, Wednesday, July 19, 2006
IN MY NATURAL AND PAID search campaign management experience over the past several years, I have often heard a common misperception about holistic search, mostly from clients who were new to the medium. It goes like this: "If we're ranking in natural (or paid), then we don't need the other one."

 

Digging deeper into one client's reasoning behind this assertion, I found that the company would not consider engaging in paid search because of the perceived erosive effect on natural clicks, which in effect caused them to pay for clicks that were otherwise "free." Breaking down the logic of the latter perception reveals some intriguing reasons not only to engage in holistic search management, but also measure holistically against conversions, rather than simply pit search against itself.

 

Click Erosion, or Click Elevation from Holistic Search?

 

Case studies published by Nielsen and SEO-PR report that when a listing is highly placed in both the natural and paid areas of a search engine results page, there is a click lift ranging between 32 percent and 300 percent. In the SEO-PR study, conversions increased by 300 percent as well. I also see similar spikes in my own campaigns, with clicks and conversions vaulting as high as 100 percent.

 

Once click and conversion lift is achieved through holistic search, there is one additional factor that sheds a greater light on the value of holistic management.

 

Adding "Free" Search into Holistic Conversion Metrics

 

One weakness of the erosion argument is the notion that clicks in natural search are "free." Natural search is not truly free, because costs are incurred either by hiring a professional agency or consultant, or by doing it in-house. Even reporting and analytics for "free" results have a time, dollar, and resource cost attached.

 

By acknowledging natural resource costs and adding them to overall metrics, CPC gaps between paid and natural become more realistic. While these costs inevitably increase average CPCs, most search marketers find that natural optimization has a consistently decreasing CPC over time, which effectively lowers the average holistic CPC as well.

 

When conversion value is measured against lift using an average CPC metric, a new picture of the search campaign emerges, particularly in measuring a positive or negative impact. This does not discount the dynamic interplay between paid and natural search, but does provide a more objective view of the overall search campaign.

 

Here are a few other interesting factors of holistic search management that support the theory and measurement of increased clicks:

 

There are two basic opportunities to capture visibility on a search engine results page. As obvious as this may sound, it is worth repeating. Marketers have at least one opportunity to appear in natural results, and one opportunity to appear in paid search. One of the basic premises behind holistic lift is that when page visibility is increased, clicks and conversions also increase.

 

If holistic search creates additional clicks, then not operating holistically drives those additional clicks somewhere else. Whether you engage in holistic search management or not, the search frequency will remain constant. Not engaging holistically means abandoning additional clicks and conversions that could have been derived from the lift. These searchers may be driven to other sites (including competitors), or a search may be aborted when intent is not met with satisfactory results.

 

Some searchers are predetermined to click on paid or natural based on the greatest likelihood that one or the other will deliver on search intent. As Gord Hotchkiss reported in a recent "Search Insider" column, certain visitors are pre-mapped to go to "the area of greatest promise" on the SERP, based on their search intention. Hotchkiss posits that our potential visitors have two general views of the search engine results page, that of the paid promise, and of the natural promise. For the marketer, this means being visible in both throughout all search stages until satisfaction is met.

 

The real story about a holistic search campaign is told in the lift and return on ad spend, not just the erosion measurement or the paid media budget. If you are not engaging holistically, then maybe now is the time to test it and see how your conversions are affected. I would love to hear your feedback.

Ads Eyes Don't Just Seem To Follow You, It Really Does!

ALMONDNET GRANTED SECOND PATENT FOR BEHAVIORALLY TARGETED ADVERTISEMENTS

 

Patent Results From AlmondNet’s Continued R&D In Online Advertising Technology 

 

NEW YORK– For Immediate Release - AlmondNet, a New York-based media and advertising technology company, has announced that it has been awarded a second online advertising patent (Patent # 6,925,440) from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. AlmondNet’s newly awarded descriptive-profile patent secures a method for the owners of online consumer profiles to earn revenues from ads targeted based on their profiles.

 

AlmondNet’s (www.almondnet.com) Post-Search network serves relevant ads to consumers based on their recent online searches. For example, a consumer who searches for car insurance information might then see an ad from an insurance provider when reading sports news, weather, or any other content – for up to 30 days following their initial search. Post-search ads do not utilize personally identifiable information, and every ad allows consumers to opt out if they wish.

 

"In a behaviorally targeted ad world, knowing a person’s purchase-intent is key to presenting relevant ads. Determining purchase intent is especially challenging when people spend less than 5 percent of their online time searching. AlmondNet’s newest patent is key to delivering relevant ads based on purchase-intent since it provides profile owners with an economic incentive to share those valuable purchase-intent profiles. With purchase-intent profiles, relevant behaviorally-targeted ads can be delivered to consumers wherever they happen to be on the web". said Roy Shkedi, founder and CEO of AlmondNet.

 

"AlmondNet’s continued investment in R&D and the development of innovative IP, which reflects the company’s vision of where it thinks the online advertising industry is headed, has resulted in a second extensive patent that covers AlmondNet’s Post-Search solution and expands AlmondNet’s IP portfolio," said Michael Kubin, AlmondNet board member and Evaliant co-founder.

 

About AlmondNet

 

Founded in 1998, AlmondNet (www.almondnet.com) is a New York-based media and advertising technology company that revolutionizes search and makes the Internet advertising market efficient by distributing relevant paid search ads to people wherever they go, based on recent searches they made.

We hope to have at least 1 new licensed associate in each Canadian province, as well. This is not a franchise, but a licensed business oportunity for the right individuals, to own their own SEO training company. We're stepping up our hunt for educators who fit our teaching style.

Alexander concluded, "There has never been a better time to get into this industry than right now, especially if you are a good educator who possesses solid search engine skills. We personally teach each of our instructors on how to conduct our hands-on SEO Workshops so that students gain great skills from our 5-Day Workshop. They then enjoy our free 6-Month Mentoring Program."

First Blog Post On Domain Incubation Located

Checking through our site logs took me to Technorati where I found a listing that took me to this page where the author must have seen our posting for Domain Incubation on SitePoint.com which is the first place that we posted about our service. The posting is great, but attributes the site ownership to Coast Internet who registered the domain for us and has not transferred ownership to us.

I wanted to contact the owner and clarify that and a few other things, but I could not find any contact information on their site, and didn't feel like using the domain contact email address. Perhaps they will pick up on this post and contact us... I was impressed with the writing and fairness, so you may want to pay http://www.domainworks.biz/ a visit.

Word Cloud Fever Clouds Good Marketing Sense

 

Word Cloud Fever: The Business of Selling Words

Tag cloud website offers a unique and innovative online advertising model for websites. Move over pixel advertising!

Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) July 15, 2006 -- Popular online advertising models are usually below average in productivity and most online businesses approach these with less certainty of returns. But once in a while unique advertising models come up that take the internet by storm and bring advertisers a good amount of traffic and profit.

Just a few weeks ago, a new advertising model has emerged, the word cloud (tag cloud) model. Basically advertisers and website owners can reserve a text link spots which link to their website.

"The fact that there are only few spots per site really drives the rush in acquiring the spots on these tag cloud websites," says Barry Onyango the webmaster at 500BuzzWords.com. At http://www.500buzzwords.com each spot will be represented by a unique Buzz Word and there will be only 500 of them.

There are other reasons that will make advertisers want to reserve their words early.

"I can compare this to domain name registration. You want to register the best domain names early before it is taken. Can you imagine how rich you would be if you are the one who registered fish.com that sold for $1million or loans.com that sold for $3 million or business.com that sold for $7.5 million?" added Onyango.

Tags clouds are already popular tools used in social networking and book marking. Surfers have already exhibited a passion for tag clouds and in essence the word clouds are easier on the eyes than the previously popular pixel site model introduced by Alex Tew. As promising as this new method sounds, the only issue in advertisers' minds is whether they will get good traffic from these sites. For this business model to be viable, tag cloud sites must have a strategy of driving traffic to their sites.

Onyango notes that only the first few tag cloud sites will be able to get buzz from the online community, which usually translates into traffic. As one of the first-comers, he has marketed 500buzzwords.com through press releases and publicity. "In addition, after all the buzz words are booked, I will not just keep all the money in the bank. I will spend some of it in marketing the website in innovative ways. Plus I think the domain name is pretty catchy and easy to remember."

While tag cloud advertising is really promising, advertisers and website owners should make sure they find a good value for their money when buying these word spots.

Scammers Give Truck Buyers Second Chance

Truck Trick

"Second chance" investigated

They were bidding on a valuable vehicle offered for sale on eBay and they almost bought into a scam.

Suburban driving isn't exciting enough for Kim Jamber so she asked her husband to put a little spice in their garage.

The Jambers offered $7,500 for a 1950 Chevy pickup listed on eBay but their bid came in $200 too low.

Then they got email informing them that the high bidder had backed out so the truck was theirs for a $2,500 down payment to an eBay warehouse.

The second chance offer looked real enough but it was a spoof created by scam artists. It gave the excited couple three days to respond with the down payment, hoping they would act quickly.

Todd Jamber said they were told to, "hurry and send them the money and do not contact the seller. 'We are operating on their behalf so don't bother them -- don't contact the seller.'"

Before sending a check, Todd did call the seller who said the pickup had already been sold. That saved the Jambers from being scammed out of $2,500.

Kim Jamber says, "I just don't want other people getting ripped off. It didn't rip us off but it made us mad."

Todd and Kim have asked eBay security to investigate.

An eBay spokesperson confirms the second chance offer is a fake and said the truck was being stored in a warehouse managed by eBay but the Internet auction never takes possession of items.

Bloggers Get Paid Or Raise Money for Charity

 

PayPerPost.com Allows Bloggers to Raise Money for Charity

PayPerPost™, the Consumer Media Advertising Network, today announced a revolutionary concept in charitable fundraising.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 14, 2006 -- PayPerPost™, the Consumer Media Advertising Network, today announced a revolutionary concept in charitable fundraising. The company, which pays bloggers to blog about topics paid for by advertisers, now provides bloggers with the option to keep the money they have earned or select to donate it to a recognized charitable organization.

"We are extremely excited to announce our charitable donation program," said Ted Murphy, founder and CEO of PayPerPost, Inc. "The new program empowers bloggers to blog about the things that interest them in an honest and open way while contributing to the betterment of our world though charity. It's amazing to think that a single blog posting could contribute to a cause that’s plaguing society today."

The Beta version of PayPerPost.com went live on June 29th to some initial skepticism. Business Week claimed the company would "Pollute the Blogosphere", while top blogs including TechCrunch.com and Scobleizer also questioned the PayPerPost.com concept.

"Some skeptics may misunderstand what PayPerPost.com could ultimately represent," said Murphy. "We have created a channel that connects companies and vocal end users in a whole new way. Yes, the concept will evolve, yes it could be misused, but at the end of the day PayPerPost puts the power in the peoples’ hands and that is what the blogosphere is all about. I believe our charitable donation program enhances our business model and our company's social contract."

Murphy and the companies he has previously formed have been long time contributors to charitable organizations. PayPerPost will initially allow bloggers to donate to Habitat for Humanity and the American Red Cross. Additional charities will be included based on blogger and organization requests. The program is currently live and can be accessed at http://www.payperpost.com.

Save Your Money: Word Link Sites Follow Pixel Ad Fad

 

Web Site Promotion - When A Word Is Not Just A Word

Words drive the Internet and web site promotion - The new word-site trend has added a new twist to the valuable and popular keyword- text links. Staying on top of new web site promotion techniques, tools and services is critical to the success of an Internet business, but will a sponsored text link do anything for your website?

Great Barrington, MA (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- Words drive the Internet and web site promotion. The new word-site trend has added a new twist to the valuable and popular keyword-targeted text links and web site marketing in general. But will a sponsored text link do anything for your website?

Last year it seemed everyone was talking about those pixel ads. If you don't remember, it went something like this - one smart guy figured he'd break a single page down into 1 million pixels and sell them off for a dollar a piece.

While this was a fun and novel approach to web site promotion - not to mention very lucrative for the site's owner - after the initial buzz quieted down and the press stopped driving traffic to the site, there wasn't much benefit remaining for those advertisers. Those hundreds of tiny square images were confusing to look at too.

Enter the new web site promotion strategy known as Word-Sites. Instead of linked images, word sites allow you to claim words that link directly to your website.

One great example is 525words.com - http://www.525words.com - This site lists 525 keywords, each of which can be instantly claimed online. If you don't find a word you want, the site also allows you to suggest a word you'd like for yourself. You can choose how your word link looks too. Color, size, style and rollover text can all be selected when claiming a word. There are also new word sites coming online that focus on niche markets.

Do These Word Links Work?

They can work very well if managed properly. When choosing a word site for your advertising and promotion needs, look for the following:

1. The site and service should be managed by someone with a good mailing list and strong daily traffic on their main site(s). This will help the new word site to get off to a good start and maintain steady web traffic.

2. The site should be indexed by the major search engines. A good webmaster will have the know-how and resources to drive the search engine spiders to their word site quickly.

3. Check the webmaster's other sites. Most word sites are run by webmasters with a number of other websites to their credit. Check out a few of those sites. See what kinds of back links they have, check that they have a decent Page Rank, etc. If they've done a good job with their other sites, chances are that they'll do a good job promoting their word-site too. For example, http://www.525words.com is part of a larger network of sites that work in concert to keep Internet traffic flowing to the web site and the sponsored links.

Are Word Links Cost-Effective?

They can be very cost-effective. Not only will you likely receive a good deal of curiosity traffic due to the novelty of these sites, and as these are word links, you may also find many other traffic benefits as the site ages.

With most word-links costing in the range of $50 - $100, this can really be a great deal. Especially when you consider how much that traffic would cost from most pay-per-click sites. For example, if you currently pay just an average of 50 cents per click from a PPC site, $100 bucks would bring you 200 clicks. Whereas your $100 word-link will likely bring you considerably more Internet traffic over time and that traffic will keep coming in as long as the word site remains active.

A Word Site of Your Own?

Most people will be content just owning a few keywords on a word-site, while others will like the idea and want to start their own unique word site service. There is now software available that will allow anyone to run their own word link site. The price tag is not cheap (about $900), but the revenue that can be generated from a successful word site is impressive. One recent 500 word site boasted over $50,000 in revenue within about two-weeks! That same software is now available to anyone with an idea and a fat enough wallet to get started. You can find more information on this software here: http://www.bbiworld.com/wordsites

Vertical Engines Doomed?

Will Search Personalization Eliminate Vertical Engines?

 

by Aaron Goldman, Wednesday, July 12, 2006

 

A WHITE PAPER WAS RECENTLY released by Slack Barshinger and Search Channel touting the emergence and merits of vertical (or specialized) search engines--The Emerging Opportunity in Vertical Search. The authors' basic assertions are on point. Vertical engines are a great source of targeted information for niche categories or situations in which the general results of the Big 4 (Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask) are not customized to the intent or profile of the searcher.

 

One of the examples in the white paper is a dentist who searches for "ceramics" on Google only to find thousands of results related to enthusiast hobbies like pottery. The authors point to DentalProducts.net as a more relevant source of information for this searcher. Makes perfect sense.

 

However, would that searcher need (or want) to go to DentistProducts.net if The Big 4 could identify him or her as a dentist and, based on past search activity, better narrow the results to include only those from directories like DentalProducts.net and the various sites included in its index?

 

Searchers epitomize the instant-gratification, short-attention span behavior that is becoming more and more prevalent in today's society. And it's not just Generation-Y. As a colleague of mine, who's been in the ad world for over 40 years, likes to say, "Even an old mossback like me searches once in a while, but if it takes two clicks, I'm gone."

 

Searchers don't want to perform multiple queries--nor do they want to go to different search engines to find different pieces of information. But today, they have no choice. As the white paper points out, refining the search as "dentists and ceramics" on Google yields no better results. And, on the flip side, that dentist is not going to use DentalProducts.net to find a good lunch spot near the office or a Christmas present for his niece.

 

Clearly, until search results can be better customized on the general engines, many searchers will prefer (and find value in) going to an engine or directory tailored specifically to their needs. But think about how far the Big 4 have come in just the past couple years in terms of personalization and tools for refining search queries. The time is not long before the general engines will be able to deliver results as relevant as today's vertical engines--if not more, when overlaid with past browsing behavior, social networking, tagging, etc.

 

Until that time, however, vertical search engines will continue to spring up and we, search marketers, will continue to tap them for targeted ad opportunities. Admittedly though, like searchers, we too would prefer an environment where everything ran through as few sources as possible--for reasons like technology integration, resource efficiency, data centralization, etc.

 

We know that the Big 4 recognize this and are working furiously to get to the point where 100 percent of search activity falls within their domains. The only way this will happen, though, is if they can satisfy that dentist's need for info on dental ceramics at the office, for restaurants at lunchtime, and gift ideas at home.

 

At the end of the day, the degree to which the Big 4 continue to innovate will determine just how long the market opportunity for vertical engines lasts.

 

I do believe, however, that this is a "when," not "if," proposition.

New Book Guarantees Email Deliverability Increase

 

Secrets to Email Deliverability Revealed by ISIPP

SuretyMail provider releases book revealing how to increase email deliverability and avoid the junk folder.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2006 -- The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP), providers of the SuretyMail email accreditation service, has released a new book guaranteed to help email marketers and other volume email senders to increase their email deliverability.

"The Email Deliverability Handbook: Getting Legitimate Email Delivered in a Spam-Filtered World" is authored by ISIPP's president and CEO, Anne P. Mitchell, and goes on sale to the general public on Tuesday.

Plummeting email deliverability rates are a problem which plagues even the most diligent of email senders in an ever-escalating war against spam. In order to trap the maximum amount of spam, ISPs and spam filters must err on the side of caution, and consequently a lot of legitimate email is accidentally tagged as spam, and delivered to the junk folder instead of the inbox.

With a money-back guarantee, "The Email Deliverability Handbook" promises to help any legitimate email sender to avoid the junk folder and improve the delivery rate of their email.

"Accreditation with an email accreditation service such as SuretyMail is critical, but only part of the solution," explains Mitchell. "Many of the most important steps to ensure high email deliverability must be taken before the email is ever sent. It is this information that "The Email Deliverability Handbook" provides, along with clear, easy-to-follow instructions and examples."

Mitchell, a long-time veteran of the email delivery wars, is one of the original anti-spam experts. Prior to running ISIPP she founded Habeas, one of the very first email deliverability companies, and before that was Director of Legal and Public Affairs for MAPS, the original anti-spam blacklist and first commercial anti-spam company.

"I've seen the issue from both sides, and so I know what both email marketers, and ISPs and spam filters, want. More importantly, I know how to get legitimate email delivered."

And "The Email Deliverability Handbook: Getting Legitimate Email Delivered in a Spam-Filtered World" is already garnering rave reviews from the experts.

"This is THE email deliverability resource manual for marketers and techies to get permission-based email delivered. The one and only complete best practices guide for marketers and techies on the subject of email deliverability," said Tom Kulzer, CEO of email delivery monitoring company Delivery Monitor. Kulzer, also a principle in AWeber, one of the largest email marketing auto-responder companies, added "It contains the most complete set of email deliverability tips I've ever seen gathered in one place."

"Email gone astray can spell disaster for lawyers and their clients. Attorneys, their staff and especially the IT departments of law firms, would do well to read and take to heart the concise information presented by a true expert in this field. The small cost will be repaid over and over. The information makes good sense and recommendations are efficient to implement," observed Russell Waters, Chairman of the Practicing Attorneys Liability Management Society, Inc., and CounselCounsel.com.

"The Email Deliverability Handbook: Getting Legitimate Email Delivered in a Spam-Filtered World" goes on sale to the general public on Tuesday, July 11th, and may be purchased through ISIPP at http://www.isipp.com/email-deliverability-book.php.

About the Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy

The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP) is a privately held corporation headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. ISIPP provides email accreditation for email senders through its SuretyMail email accreditation service, anti-spam resources for email receivers, and expert analysis and consulting services to legislators, governmental and regulatory agencies, industry leaders, and the press.
