Website Promotion Solutions

The E3CS PlatinumPlus Promotion Plan

COST:  A Base rate of $225 to $500/month — $2700 to $5000 for full year, plus the associated costs paid to the search engines and directories. Billed quarterly in advance. One year commitment required. Total monthly fee depends on amount of pay-per-click advertising being done.

PURPOSE:  When only the very top rankings in search engines will do...

HOW IT WORKS:  Many of the top search engines have switched to paid placement, paid inclusion and paid submission plans. This means it is now possible to pay to have your website listed before all others when a particular keyword or phrase is searched for. E3 Consulting Services continually researches the many options and selects those that we believe offer the best value. The PlatinumPlus Plan is completely customized for each client. The monthly fee is based on the total marketing budget plus the associated costs paid to the search engines and directories. E3 Consulting Services handles all the paperwork, coordination, management, billing arrangements and daily bidding for you.

The PlatinumPlus Plan uses several different types of promotion to push your site into the top level rankings of search engines, search directories and search indexes for many keywords and keyword phrases. The PlatinumPlus Plan centers around three principal areas:
1. We carefully research your site and make necessary preparations to correctly submit it to more than 150 search engines and directories. We review and tweak your metatags, keywords, descriptions, titles, etc., and perform other functions designed to keep your site near the top of the search engines and directories. Each month thereafter, we check your rankings, tweak your site copy and resubmit it to the necessary search engines and directories. We can also provide you with search engine ranking and submission reports via email upon request.
2. We will suggest strategic modifications to your site on a continuous basis, designed to give you an edge over your competition. We will also suggest and implement other tools and ideas designed to bring traffic to your site; and while we don’t want to give away all our trade secrets, rest assured we have a complete toolbox we use to ensure the success of your site. Whether it be site content tricks, utilizing links to other sites and from other sites, knowing which ways to submit to which search engines or simply studying your competition’s strengths and weaknesses, we have the knowledge and the resources to provide you the results you seek.
3. For the paid placement, paid inclusion and paid submission parts of this program, we completely customize the level of promotion and programs used to meet each individual client’s needs.

There are many different paid inclusion, paid submission and paid placement services available.  We have selected the following as our primary recommended services. 

  1. Yahoo Search Marketing Solutions (formerly known as Overture.com, is the largest paid-listing search service and provides search results for yahoo.com, msn.com, altavista.com, lycos.com, hotbot.com, iwon.com, nbci.com, directhit.com, altavista.com, netscape.com, dogpile.com, metacrawler.com, cnn.com, and canada.com.  You bid on keywords to determine your site's ranking in search results.  You then pay for each click-thru based on the bid amount for that particular keyword. For example, the top search listing for the keyword phrase "northern minnesota resorts" is costing that client $1.51 per clickthru (as of 02/08/2005). The second listing from the top is paying $1.31 cents per click-thru, and third place is paying $1.27, and so on.. You decide what amount to bid per click-thru and what total monthly amount to cap it at. A minimum bid is 10 cents per click and a minimum charge of $20 per month for your overall account applies. E3 Consulting Services handles all the coordination and billing arrangements. The top three to five bids are shown as the Top listings for search queries of that keyword phrase.  Places four thru 20 are shown down the sides of the page and on the second page of results.  There are four different products available through Yahoo.  They are Sponsored Search, Local Sponsored Search, Search Submit Express, and Search Submit Pro.  We'll be happy to explain any of them to you in detail.

  2. Google AdWords offer a variation of pay-per-click advertising.  Like with Overture, in AdWords you bid for position on keywords and the pricing is based on the position in which they're shown. You are only charged for clickthrus to your site, not the number of times your ad is shown. Google AdWords offers a strong and growing distribution network not only from their own Google sites but also through affiliates like America Online, Ask Jeeves, Earthlink, Lycos Canada, Netscape, Compuserve, AT&T Worldnet and NYTimes.com. Targeted Sponsored Links to Walt Disney Internet Group Web Properties - Disney.com, FamilyFun.com, Go.com and Movies.com.
    Ads on AdWords Select are ranked on the page based on a formula of cost-per-click multiplied by the click-through rate which enables an ads rank to improve without costing more. Google automatically reduces costs to the lowest price needed to maintain position. No minimum deposit is required.  E3 Consulting Services handles all the coordination, management and billing arrangements. 

  3. FindWhat.com's paid keyword results get alot of traffic thanks to its affiliation with several meta search sites like Search.com, Excite.com, Webcrawler, MetaCrawler, DogPile.com, and Microsoft Internet Explorer Autosearch.  FindWhat allows you to bid on keywords and key phrases within search results. You have complete control over how much you want to spend, where you want to be found, and when you want your program to be active. And, best of all, you only pay for actual traffic (customers) which click-through to your site!  Standard minimums of 10 cent per bid and $50 per account apply.  E3 Consulting Services handles all the coordination and billing arrangements.
