As a web site owner, you
may know that promoting your site is the key to online business success. Part
of that promotion process is having your web address or URL on every piece
of literature, business card, letterhead, invoice and ad that your company
has. The other part of that process is promoting online, by submitting your
site to search engines, directories, and portals where Internet users can
click a link to your site. The more places your site is listed on the web,
the more visitors you will get.
In the early days of the World Wide Web, getting your web site listed near
the top of the search engine listings was not so difficult, you submitted
your site, with its keywords in the HTML and after a couple of weeks or so,
your site appeared. The Internet has now become so crowded, search engines
and directories have changed their methods of indexing submitted sites and
this task has become much more complex. It is now a challenge and a time consuming
process to get your site listed near the top results when a user conducts
a search.
80% of Internet users rely on search engines to find information on the
Internet. Only 7% go past the first three pages of results. Where is your site?
There are many companies
that claim to get results when it comes to search engine positioning. Many
of them simply take your keywords and insert them into a software program
that automates the task.(Web Position Gold and Net Mechanic among them) The
results are often spotty, and the listings are not professional looking.
Why SiteFactor?
The whole point of listing your
site in the search engines is to build traffic, and if your site is not
optimized in your HTML to be search engine friendly, your web site is equivalent
to a blade of grass in a rain forest. We have been doing this since 1997, and
have studied search engines the whole time, getting you great results.
SiteFactor takes pride in getting you top listings in search engines, we code
everything by hand and submit to the search engines that are most used. We
carefully evaluate the top 100 search engines and portals/web guides based on
popularity and functionality. We provide you with a quarterly report to show
where your web site ranks in the searches. This report is available via e-mail
or hardcopy in Microsoft Excel or plain text format.
Our program is designed to bring you traffic based on keywords and phrases that
you provide, however we do make suggestions on keywords and phrases for
businesses based on web search stats.
We ask that you provide us with the utmost important search term that you feel an end user would type into a search engine to find you. The more specific you get, the better chances of a top ranking. For example: If you are promoting a hotel in Maine, you would have better luck with a more specific term such as Òmid coast Maine hotels.
Web surfers find your site
more easily when you have SiteFactor constantly promoting it over an entire
year.

We now submit to over 100 Directories and the Major Search Engines!

Traffic Booster Plus Cost
Outline:
$250.00 deposit required
$250.00 billed each quarter
What we
guarantee:
You will get a minimum of
three (3)Top Thirty listings (or as high as #1) within any three of the search
engines listed on the previous page. You will likely get more than three top
positions, but for the price we charge, we feel that three is a fair minimum.
This means your site will be found within in the first thirty listings when
searching your main keywords or phrase (or a combination of your 2nd
choice keywords) within at least three of the specified search engines (excluding
sponsored links). Your site may get many more than three top positions, it
depends on many factors; such as amount of similar sites, your content and
keyword combinations used during the search. Since the process is done by
submitting and waiting for the databases to index, we ask that you check Google
first if you dont want to wait for a report. This is The most used search
engine updating approximately every thirty days.
What SiteFactor
needs from positioning clients:
1 .a deposit of $250.00 in US funds
2. The most important keywords or phrase for your site and a second choice
keyword or phrase
3. Up to twenty-five additional
keywords or phrases (which may also get some top listings)
4. FTP access to your web site,
including username/password any path
5. Time. Please be patient,
we dont expect to hear from you until at least eight weeks after the work
is complete, search engines are indexing the web constantly, but there are
millions of sites. We will provide a written submission/status report to you
when results are tracked.(available quarterly)
Q&A:
What happens if
I just leave my site the way it is, without modifying the code for search
engines?
You may still get some traffic to your site, especially if you have the web
address printed everywhere, but if you want real results, search engine submission
on a regular basis is the key to increase online traffic/sales.
How long will my listing
appear in a given search engine?
If my web site is listed as #6 what's to prevent someone else from grabbing
that same spot and causing me to be #7 ?
Competition is fierce out there, with positioning, its
you against the world. It could very well happen, but SiteFactor enjoys competition,
and if you get bumped down, we generally re-bound your listing next time around
and have been know to leap frog over competitor's listings.
I dont have time to be constantly monitoring where we are in these search
engines, do you provide any proof of your results?
Yes, on the last page you will see an actual search
engine submission report for one of SiteFactorÕs clients. We provide these
reports after results have been tracked,and you may request one within a sixty
day period after your site has been promoted and indexed.
"I know about meta-tags and keywords, what are you doing to make my site get in the top?"
- We have studied positioning strategies and constantly
monitor search engine algorithm behaviors, our methods are not something we
share openly however, we optimize title & description tags along with
calculated relevance keyword repetition.This scratches the surface of how we do
it.
Search Engine Positioning
Agreement
Acceptance
of Proposal:
I
____________________
__________________________
(herein referred to as client) of
________________________ (company name) hereby authorize SiteFactor Web Design
Services to optimize my web site code (HTML) including title + metaÐtags, for
search engines and to submit my site to the 100 search engines listed in their
program. I also understand that I must provide a list of keywords in order to
do this. (up to 25) I have elected the most important word(s) which I will include with
my deposit of $250.00 In addition,
I hereby authorize server permissions to SiteFactor, to access my web site
remotely and do this work.
I understand that the $250.00 charge is not a one-time charge, but will reoccur every three (3) months for
a period of one year as of the
date of this agreement .($1000.00 total) Sitefactor provides a quarterly report of clientÕs
position as results appear in searches. You are guaranteed a top 30 listing in
at least 3 major search engines (excluding sponsored links) and will
regularly be updated for the contract period of one year. Listings count as a
result in our reports when a
search shows a link in the top 30 ranking using your main keyword phrase
or a combination of your second choice keywords.
Removal of Code: SiteFactor reserves the right to remove all meta-tags and
optimized HTML if customer discontinues service or stops payments. Optimized
code refers to all meta tags, title, and alt image tags. If client cancels
service or does not renew service, this code is not to be retained by the client, you forfeit the code, which is
property of SiteFactor, regardless of
what server it is on. Late payments (over 10 days) cause a temporary
interruption of the service which may lower web traffic. Web site owner must
inform SiteFactor via e-mail or phone prior to making any changes to their
index page to avoid publishing over the optimized code. If client updates
their web site and wipes out
meta-tags, SiteFactor will charge a $60.00 fee to restore the code.
Client agrees that if any employee or representative of their company changes
FTP username or password during the contract period and effectively locking
SiteFactor out of the server, client will be held liable for the total charges
of this service, including any legal fees.
Cancellation: If client chooses to cancel within 30 days, deposit is fully
refundable. If cancellation occurs after 30 days, no refund will be given and
client will be responsible to pay an additional $250.00 for optimizing code and
submission fees, but will not be required to pay for remainder of the annual
fee. This agreement automatically renews annually unless cancelled by client in
writing.
