Why is search engine ranking so important? |
| |
The recent studies prove that search engine optimization generates a better return on investment than any other conventional form of marketing. Web promotion provides a better return than television, radio, direct mail, print ads, and trade shows.
Over 55% of all Internet purchases begin with a search engine. Today's top search engines receive hundreds of millions of searches per day. If your web site is not appearing within the first two pages of these results, you are missing thousands of qualified leads.
Having a top ranking in a major search engine is like having a full page ad in the Yellow Pages in every major city of the world. Our clients see incredible growth in their sales as a result of being moved to the top of the search engines.

How do search engine listings compare to banner ads, bulk email or affiliate programs? |
| |
Studies show that in every situation, search engine listings came out on top. Consumers are 12 times more likely to purchase your products or services after finding your website through a search engine than all other programs combined.

How can you optimize our website through submissions? |
| |
Only web site optimization can improve your rankings. Submission of an un-optimized web site simply doesn't work. If you don't plan on optimizing your site you may as well not submit your site at all.
There are less than 20 major search engines in the United States. All the others don't matter in the least automated submission is a form of spam to the major search engines. They often detect and reject web sites submitted this way. This is why we submit your site manually to the engines that require manual submission.
Some companies tell that it's very important to resubmit each month. A few years ago this technique had some merit but now it can lead to your domain being flagged as spam. You should never resubmit to an engine unless your listing has dropped out.

Do meta-tags help me to get higher search engine ranking? |
| |
Not any more. Search engines no longer seriously score meta keywords. Instead, search engines analyze title tags, image tags, link structure, directory structure, keyword density, relevancy, prominence, proximity, total words on a page, word repetitions, total words in specific areas, alt tags, input tags, Java Script comment lines, domain name, directory name, filename, etc.
Similarly, each search engine has its own unique way of ranking pages so you need to fine-tune different pages to exactly match the criteria of each engine. Not only do they rank sites according to different parameters, they change their criteria on a regular basis!
As you can see, achieving and maintaining top ten ranking is not as simple as using meta tags. Without optimization techniques, your site will not rise above this muddle of millions of web pages each major search engine maintains in its index.

How long does this take? Will I see results right away? |
| |
It is not possible to say for sure how long it will take for specific engines like Yahoo! or Google to approve and index your site. It could happen as soon as 2-3 weeks, and a top 10 listing in one of these search engines can drive substantial traffic right away!
Each search engine indexes web sites at a different rate. As a general rule, you must allow at least 3 months for the meta search engines to fully index your site. Some engines take longer but it's worth the wait.

Do I have to pay monthly payments to maintain top ten rankings? |
| |
No! After your initial sign-up, we guarantee top ten rankings within 10 months without monthly payments.
You might want to consider taking advantage of one of our monthly maintenance packages as an additional service, though. This keeps your site up-to-date so you can keep SERP rankings.
|
| 8. |
If I decide that I don't want to do business with you anymore do I lose all my search engine positions? |
| |
Absolutely not! We are one of the few optimization companies that place your optimized pages in your possession. Your search engine optimized pages that got your rankings are yours to keep... you paid for them!
We DO NOT withheld your optimization if you choose to no longer work with us. If you choose to no longer work with us, your rankings will not be affected. If a refund is issued, optimization will be removed.

What is IP cloaking? |
| |
"IP" stands for "Internet Protocol." "IP cloaking" is a technical trick designed to deliver different web pages from the same web address depending on whether the visitor's IP is from a search engine spider or from an ordinary user.
If the IP is from a search engine, the server feeds a highly-optimized page. Otherwise, it delivers a regular page such as the homepage. IP cloaking is also known as IP spoofing or IP delivery.
IP cloaking is abusive as it attempts to manipulate a search engine's index. Since IP cloaking is deceptive, search engines routinely purge IP cloaked pages and in some cases ban these web sites permanently.
|
| 11. |
What maintenance options do you offer? |
| |
After we meet our guarantee, we offer a monthly maintenance package that you could sign up for in order to help maintain your rankings by providing fresh content and performing link and server checks.
|
| 12. |
Will I have to make changes to my web site to get top ten positions? |
| |
It is sometimes necessary to optimize the layout and keywords contained within your web pages. In most cases these changes are minimal and rarely significant.
This is often one of the hardest things for our clients to understand but it is of significance if you desire to succeed on the web. Successful companies often fail on the web when they try to apply traditional marketing and advertising techniques to the Internet.
Online marketing is a whole new game, played on a different field with different rules. If you are willing to follow our path we will make you to win!

What kind of traffic and profit can I expect to receive as a result of a Monster Web Promotion? |
| |
It's impossible for us to predict the amount of traffic: every site is different. It is our responsibility to get listings, not traffic, sales or hits.
|
| 14. |
Can I have multiple domains with the same content? |
| |
Since duplicate content is penalized by the search engines, this could lead to trouble. Our advice is “Do not try to trick the search engines.”
|
| 15. |
Can I get more traffic by pointing multiple domain names to the same web site? |
| |
It cannot be denied that many professionals use this very tactic. However, some experts believe it to be futile. If you are planning on doing this, make sure you do it correctly: we recommend that you use an SEO friendly redirect from the additional domains to the first (main) domain.
|
| 15. |
Do your web promotion packages include submission fees that the search engines charge for a listing? |
| |
No our web promotion packages do not include search engine submission fees. These fees are paid directly to each submission service and we are not affiliated with these services.
This is an optional service you can take advantage of, but it is not necessary for success with your optimization campaign. We will submit to all necessary parties.
