"We achieved a number of key objectives this past year, in particular our client base grew exponentially and we formed strategic alliances with some amazing companies. However, we are most proud that our clients have experienced a substantial return on their investment from our services. In fact, many of our clients have hired more employees to keep up with their growth. Experts predict and I agree that in 2006 companies will continue to shift their advertising expenditures from offline to online. We are excited and ready for a robust 2006.”

About c2innov8:
c2innov8 provides search engine marketing services to clients around the country. c2innov8 was founded in 2002 and has since worked with numerous companies across many industries including legal, retail, technology, hospitality and financial services. We are different from most search marketing firms because of our focus on the bottom line. While many firms in our space focus on interim successes such as SEO rankings or PPC click through rates, we sell and deliver our services based on the impact to the bottom line, usually through sales leads or online sales. c2innov8’s founders and managing partners: Andrew Katz and Lachlan Brown have been involved with interactive marketing and ecommerce since the late 1990’s. Having seen some of the waste and inefficiencies of the dot com years, Andrew and Lachlan have dedicated themselves to implementing highly effective and measurable forms of Internet marketing for clients, including search engine, affiliate, and email marketing.

You can buy as many $25 blocks of ad space as you want and you will receive a Gold and Silver Business Center for each.

That is 24 people getting paid on one $25 sale.

Now, imagine if someone buys 10-$25 pixels for a total of $250, over 100 people could get paid!

[Editor's comment: Please ask yourself what the real value is to you in buying these faddish pixel ads before throwing away your money. Don't get sucked in by greed. If this had any real value they would not have to offer money to get others to sell for them. Avoid! -(hris ]

 

Facts on Holiday Pay Per Click Fraud

 

Holiday Pay Per Click Fraud on Ad Clicks? What Are the Facts?

While the holiday season takes shape, Pay Per Click will no doubt play a major role for much of the online sales generated, but at what cost to the advertiser? Pay Per Click fraud is expected to be bigger than ever this holiday season.

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) December 19, 2005 -- While the holiday season takes shape, Pay Per Click will no doubt play a major role for much of the online sales generated, but at what cost to the advertiser? Pay Per Click fraud is expected to be bigger than ever this holiday season.

While the holiday season takes shape, Pay Per Click will no doubt play a major role for much of the online sales generated, but at what cost to the advertiser? How many of the clicks are even real? The consensus seems to be around 50% according to most of the rising anti-fraud companies stepping into the fray to advise their clients. That means that, while the click value may very well be accurately assigned by the market, the other half or more of the clicks this holiday season will be outright phony, which will cost advertisers big time, especially mom and pops who might be caught off guard.

A small article on an SEO website (http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Search-Engine-News/PayPerClick-Destined-to-Evolve-into-PayPerAction/) takes the credit for the title “Pay Per Click Destined to Evolve Into Pay Per Action?” , but not necessarily the idea. Froogle is an eBay skip away as it is, but it doesn’t’ go the whole nine yards. Local Pay Per Call and other options have been around for some time now. We’re all just waiting for something serious to pull PPC down before we will be able to get behind a new medium, it would seem.

Most Internet Yellow Pages are flat, static, and interactively stale. U.S. advertising in Yellow Pages equaled $15 billion last year according to Kelsey Group. One out of four Internet searches is for local information. Searches for local information are likely to increase by around 33% a year, while use of the printed Yellow Pages dwindles by 4% annually, according to Kelsey. With billions of dollars of local advertising at stake, everyone's stepping up to address and tackle the local search challenge.

Traditional search engines and web directories use automated information retrieval systems to display content relevant to a user's search request. Eliminating the many difficulties and problems that are encountered and arise from the various automated tools that try to properly interpret unstructured user queries is also a challenge, leaving us to wonder how engines heavily invested in PPC and non-local approaches will fare on tomorrow’s local-focused Internet, especially as PPC behemoth Google is now fighting off litigants in court in class action suits revolving around click fraud as this is being written.

So what, if any, are the real detractions of Pay Per Action? Well, users may just have to reveal their identity as opposed to anonymous PPC, but most likely on secure servers which is no different than the part where you fill out the order form with your address and credit card information. If you’re comfortable with your favorite merchant or product carrier knowing your personal information, then there really is no problem for the consumer there. How about on the advertiser end? The only likely problem is if Pay Per Action advertisers fail to understand the medium, which requires up front information about the user. Ultimately, credit cards, as already done in many situations, confirms one’s identity quickly and accurately enough for most of us in today’s society, and poses little problems for even the guy who buys survival equipment from his camouflage lined computer chair.

One dot com pundit (http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/4663.asp) has noted a key factor being the distribution of broadband connection to the Internet, providing “always on and always connected” access to the Internet in every home that formerly would have pulled out the worn phone book to contact a local business. This is a notable factor, as connecting at cost each time is a detraction for homes not yet plugged in 24-7. This isn’t a flaw in local search, per se, but just a small delay that will probably diminish rather quickly in the next 5 years or less, according to Jupiter Media (http://www.jupitermedia.com/corporate/releases/05.08.23-newjupresearch.html), who states that broadband will likely include 80% of all Internet users by the year 2010. With 43% already getting online via broadband [Jupiter, it would seem that the end of PPC is nearing indeed, and with it, click fraud.

Imagine a holiday season not that far away, maybe even December 2006, when the majority of clicking doesn’t automatically spend the marketing budget of the advertiser until the purchase is made. The PPC guys will lose their corner on online advertising, but the consumer and businesses will both profit when neither is forced to pay extra for the Pay Per Click’s darker side. Then clickmen will have to go back to less relaxed methods of robbing and stealing during the holidays, and simply drop the TV set when the sirens start to sound, or else get legitimate jobs, instead of fueling a rogue corporation’s offshore antics.

ASP SEO Tool For All-in-One Search Engine Optimization From ClickSplash.com

 

All-in-One Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tool: ClickSplash.com

Info Cubic LLC has announced the release of a revolutionary new all-in-one Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tool called ClickSplash.com. ClickSplash is an ASP (application service provider) system that allows users to automatically optimize their own websites in an effort to improve their ranking on the major search engines.

(PRWEB) December 19, 2005 -- Info Cubic LLC, a worldwide leading SEM (Search Engine Marketing) consulting company, has announced the January 2006 release of a revolutionary new all-in-one Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tool called ClickSplash.com. ClickSplash’s one-of-a-kind product is an ASP (application service provider) system that allows users to automatically optimize their own websites in an effort to improve their ranking on the major search engines. By improving their website’s ranking in the major search engines, ClickSplash users can help increase their site’s traffic.

Search Engine Optimization is one of the hottest markets in website promotion. ClickSplash’s innovative product aims to help web beginners and business owners to take on traditional SEO companies. Traditional SEO services typically cost several thousand dollars and can take weeks to be completed. ClickSplash provides its SEO services at a much lower cost to users (starting at $59 per month) and allows users to analyze and optimize their existing websites in less than 15 minutes. Furthermore, ClickSplash provides Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) analysis tools, search engine ranking reports and several other tools to help users analyze and track their websites’ optimization. These additional services are provided free of charge as part of the ClickSplash service. ClickSplash is touted as the first true “do-it-yourself” service of its kind to provide an all-in-one SEO website marketing tool. The difference between ClickSplash and traditional SEO do-it-yourself services is that the ClickSplash system not only teaches users how to optimize their website but also analyzes and automatically optimizes the user’s existing website. The user can then upload their newly optimized website and then track it’s ascension in the major search engine rankings.

ClickSplash has several different target markets. The primary target market is individual users or small business owners who are looking to improve their website ranking in a cost-effective and efficient manner. ClickSplash does not require any prior knowledge of SEO, nor any particular website expertise. Another target market is the SEO companies themselves. Traditional Search Engine Optimization is a timely and labor-intensive process. By utilizing ClickSplash’s system, SEO companies can provide their same services with less manpower and costs involved. What used to take weeks to accomplish could be done in less than 15 minutes for much less cost.

Good use for recycled spam

You may or may not have been dealing with form spammers, scum that use automated scripts to find forms that they can use to pass extra data to and if the script that processes the form has some weaknesses, it can be used by them to sane spam.

They send out test emails and then collect the results at AOL, or have another script pull the results from the AOL account. I've tried making AOL aware of this problem to shut down the accounts the spammers use, but they have never responded.

I edited the scripts so that most of this junk does not go out to clients, but I sill check it to make sure that we don't miss something valid.

I don't know what happened, but tonight I snapped. I really got sick of all this form spam coming in over and over. Stupid spammers, if they just sent a few messages they would not have provoked me...

I used to have a "Catch all" email address set up. This way, I could give out all kinds of different email addresses and no matter what anyone sent, I would get it. Then about 2 months ago, spammers started using all kinds of random email address names with my domain. It started reaching 2-3 bounced messages a day and finally I had to create all the email address aliases that I needed to I would not lose any email and could then turn off the catch-all.

Then today I realized that I could create another catch-all that would forward the spam bounces to the account of the form spammer. Lemons into lemonade...! :-)

I also set myself to get a copy of all the spam that is forwarded so I could see what's going on. Right now the spam is coming in at the rate of about 180 per hour. So in a 24 hour period there should be about 4,000 at that rate.

Ending the Frustration of Broken Links on the Internet

 

Ending the Frustration of Broken Links on the Internet

New real time, interactive link monitoring tool from Scotland makes clicking through to page not found errors a thing of the past.

(PRWEB) December 14, 2005 -- SiliconGlen.com Ltd launches innovative new broken link prevention software for Webmasters. The Broken Link Preventer tests the destination of every link on a website in real time and only allows the destination of the link to be accessed if it will succeed. This puts an end to websites linking to empty content.

The Broken Link Preventer shows a friendly page explaining the problem if the link is broken and offering helpful alternatives to the customer.

Unlike conventional link checkers, the Broken Link Preventer does not require a Webmaster to modify the destination of a link for a customer to receive useful content. The Broken Link Preventer also gathers statistics in real time to indicate which links are no longer linking to active content and how often these links are being accessed. Finally the Broken Link Preventer allows information to be gathered in real time as to where customers go after leaving a company's web site.

The tool, which is installed on the server running the website, does not require cookies, works on all major browsers and server platforms and does not load the server or interfere with existing web statistics. It does not require any content management software.

Search Engine/Encyclopedia Hybrid Launched

Search Engine/Encyclopedia Hybrid Launched

 

March 9, 2005 - What do you get if you cross a search engine with an encyclopedia? The answer arrived on the net today - Factbites (www.Factbites.com), a new approach to search. Under the slogan "where results make sense", Factbites provides searchers with full sentences about their search topic, rather than the sentence fragments most search engines offer.

 

Rather than focusing on link-based technology like Google, Factbites delves into the tone and subject matter of the given topic. The engine "reads" the content of each page and determines how meaningful the text is. It seeks out authoritative and informative content, preferring encyclopedia-style fact-based descriptions to the chatty, spammy and inconsequential.

 

The end result is a clean summary you can almost read from beginning to end. Not only is this an effective filter against spam and clutter, it's also a time saver, because it gives users a clear picture of what each destination site is about.

 

For encyclopedia-style content, the site makes some large claims. The website challenges users to compare Factbites results to Google results. When searching for quick information on the sort of things you'd usually go to an encyclopedia for, the results are surprisingly clear - Factbites wins hands down. The site's developer, Luke Metcalfe, explains his motivation. "Having been in and around the search business for 5 years, it's become clear to me that people mostly aren't after websites - they're after information. I wanted to build a site that serves the facts straight up".

 

To refine searches, Factbites automatically suggests a number of relevant topic areas. Users can choose to filter their searches accordingly. This saves users from having to come up with extra keywords. "Far too many good results are lost when people start trying to add words to their search", says Metcalfe.

 

In this beta release, 800,000 topics are covered. "We devote a lot more processing power to every search. Factbites is never going to be the place to locate your lost aunt, or order items from your corner store", says Metcalfe. "But for meaningful content about real topics, there's nothing out there like us".

Blogs and web sites spamvertised by web site contact form - There is hope!

I manage a number of sites for myself and my clients. Over the past couple of months there has been an increasing problem with spam that is sent to us via site contact forms, and also spammers looking for forms they can use to send spam from. I discovered that if I have forms send email and the sender's email address is used as the sender of the form email, that some code can be placed in the email field and the script can them be used to send hundreds of spam emails from my server. Well we got that under control now, but we don't have a good answer yet for junk sent to us where it looks like someone has filled out a form but it's just to advertise some site.

 

I noticed that some of the sites advertised were actually blogs, and hosted at Blogger. I decided to see if I could get them interested and it worked. All of the sites you will see below are now blasted into the nothingness they deserve to be blasted to!

 

As you will see below, the next time you see a blogger-hosted blog that offends in some way, you can "Flag" it and they will check it out. If they agree with you, it will be removed from places where it can be easily found, and in some cases it may be removed completely. Thanks Blogger, you ROCK!!!

CHICAGO (PRWEB) December 4, 2005 -- LocalLaunch, Inc., a leading local search platform and fulfillment provider, has released RegisterLocal™ – a powerful new product to create, publish and distribute structured information for local businesses. Through the creation of a Master Business Profile™, RegisterLocal enables a business to easily create and maintain current and detailed information across Internet Yellow Pages (IYPs), Data Aggregators, Local Search Engines, Internet Directories, and Mobile Devices.

With an increasing number of local search providers seeking information from businesses to fuel their search utilities, RegisterLocal aims to ensure that a business can easily, and in a cost-effective manner, enter business information including description, logo, products and services, brands, hours of operation, service area, contact information and more. By creating a Master Business Profile, RegisterLocal provides the Internet’s first single environment to create, publish, distribute and update this important business information.

Until now, it has been very difficult for a business owner to take full advantage of a growing number of local online listing resources. The dizzying number of available platforms, sites, and directories, combined with disparate listing requirements, has discouraged local business owners from utilizing these important marketing resources. Many small businesses often have out-of-date information or even no information at all, on the Internet. RegisterLocal is a cost-effective method of helping these businesses develop a strong Internet presence and distribute its business information across the Internet.

"We are pleased to provide a product that enables local businesses to take advantage of local search marketing at an affordable price” said LocalLaunch president Justin Sanger. “The accurate and comprehensive dissemination of local business information is the most important low-cost marketing strategy that a small- or medium-sized business can employ on the Internet."

Already, RegisterLocal, in a private-labeled form, is a centerpiece interactive marketing product that powers several of the world's leading Yellow Page publishers and Newspaper organizations.

RegisterLocal is expected to have a significant impact upon the local search marketplace. As Sanger puts it, “It's a business's foundation on the Internet.”

The sky's the limit with New 'No-Limit' SEO

 

Search Engine Marketing and Optimization (SEM / SEO) Firm Announces Release of New 'No-Limit' SEO

Pole Position Marketing (www.PolePositionMarketing.com), a leading provider of search engine marketing strategies and SEO, has unveiled an enhanced set of optimization services called No-Limit search engine optimization.

Reno, NV (PRWEB) December 1, 2005 -- Pole Position Marketing (www.PolePositionMarketing.com), a leading provider of search engine marketing strategies and SEO, has unveiled an enhanced set of optimization services called “No-Limit” search engine optimization.

“No–Limit” SEO is a new ongoing SEO strategy that allows for the constant evolution of a client’s internet marketing campaigns and ensures ultimate website relevance to the search engines for competitive, high-volume search phrases. The basic concept of “No-Limit” is to provide a flat, low monthly fee for the constant, ongoing optimization of a site, rolling out new optimized pages and targeted keywords every month. By focusing optimization in this way, clients are able to establish themselves as an industry authority for virtually all relative keyword phrases.

“‘No-Limit’ optimization allows our clients to have continuously improving websites causing them to advance beyond, and stay ahead of, their competition,” say Stoney deGeyter, President of Pole Position Marketing. “Instead of being charged additional set-up and monthly fees anytime there is a change or upgrade to their account, clients are now able to target an unlimited number of keywords throughout the life of their marketing campaign.”

“No–Limit” SEO will benefit online businesses in any industry because it never allows a site to stagnate, which can often lead to being overtaken in the search results by the competition. As the needs of the business change, the SEO campaign adapts accordingly to match its micro and macro environments.

This new strategy has an element of flexibility that will compliment the ever-changing nature and rapid pace of online business. It is designed to complement a client’s total marketing efforts, even as marketing goals change with time. On track with a business’ growth, “No-Limit” SEO continues to find new avenues of opportunity that promote growth, rather than inhibit it.

No Limit SEO is also an economical choice, as pricing is not based on a per-keyword or per-page basis. For one flat monthly fee, new targeted keywords are identified and pages optimized monthly, bringing in targeted traffic from new avenues every month, continuously improving the client’s return on investment. You can find more info on “No-Limit” SEO at http://www.polepositionmarketing.com/search-engine-optimization/keyword-optimization.php

[Editor's comment: I'm surprised that known industry figures are still touting  "Top Ranking" as something that people should be pursuing. Isn't traffic and conversions what site owners really want? Shouldn't that be the focus and not just rankings...? (hris ]
