Slugging it out with the search engines is difficult, expensive and frustrating. At best, only 30 positions for any keyword phrase are worth anything, and most keyword phrases have thousands or tens of thousands of competitors all seeking the same 30 positions. The odds against you are formidable. If you're a small business, hiring one of the top Internet marketing companies to get you a top position may be a budget buster. Overture recently announced that their average cost per click was approaching 50 cents. How many small businesses can take the risk that a few thousand visitors, at 50 cents per click, won't like their Web site and leave without buying? Our kinder, gentler approach can help. Use the search engines to find the top 30 Web sites in allied, but non-competitive categories. We suggest WordTracker for that. Check all of them and see if any accept banner ads. If so, place your interactive ad there. If not, carefully write a very polite letter to the owner of each Web site, explaining the benefits of exchanging links, and suggest a link trade. If they agree, place your interactive ad on the other Web site. The interactive ads utilize no bandwidth or appreciable space on the host sites. All activity happens from our servers. Continue finding other related but non-competitive companies that rank high in the search engines and attempt to get your interactive ad on their Web site. The more you place out there, the easier it will be to get traffic. We call this approach the OPT Method Of Getting Business (OPT= "Other People's Traffic"). We believe it is ethical because the host site is not a competitor and no host resources are used at all. It's nothing more than a "Smart Link" in that respect. Now, you no longer need to try and direct search engine traffic to your Web site, your Web functionality is spread across many, many high traffic Web sites in targeted categories. Unlike banner ads, the person interacting with the ads never leaves the Web page they arrived at. All functionality stays right within the ad. We also offer another simplified marketing approach with "Don't Bring 'Em To Your Web Site, Mail Your Web Site To 'Em". A KOTW-created interactive ad can be mailed easily. Include a 45 minute video, and the ad will take no longer to come in than any other email you receive. The video requires no download and begins playing immediately. You never leave the email program and you can mail your entire e-commerce application out to prospects and they can shop your products right in their mail. It allows a business to move from passive marketing, which is sitting around and waiting to be found, to active marketing that announces your existence and readiness to do business. This, hopefully, will not become a spammer tool, but one that will allow expansion on the "For more information about our Blue Widget products, click here" concept. An entire Blue Widget Web site, including videos, could be automatically emailed, and the ability to purchase Blue Widgets right from the ad is there. The Web site to view for all the information and examples is http://www.adsthatpull.com. Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stop fighting the "Top 30" battles, use other people's traffic!
