Search Engine Marketing
Search engine marketing is optional, but businesses who want to market their web site will want this! It includes listing ads on Google and Overture, as well as regular submission to search engines.
Organic Placement
Organic search means regular search results for the major search engines. I will submit the site to the search engines so they can index the pages. Because of the way the search engines rank the pages, I highly recommend you place them in directories.
Directory Placement
When you list your web site in a directory, the search engines will rank your pages higher (list them closer to the top) if we place your web site in both directories.
Yahoo! Annual Cost $300
Open Directory included with all web sites
Paid Placement
Google AdWords, Yahoo! Overture, and MSN adCenter are great places to advertise your web site. It will cover the majority of search engine advertising. I can place your sites here, monitor them closely, and improve traffic to your site.
