The Search Monitor, an online monitoring service that tracks competitive advertising activity on paid search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites, announces its release of geo-targeted monitoring. TSM now monitors 17 countries, 6 languages, and most major regions, states, and cities in each market.

Pittsburgh, PA September 9, 2008 – The Search Monitor (www.thesearchmonitor.com) (“TSM”), an online monitoring service that tracks competitive advertising activity on paid search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites, announces its release of geo-targeted monitoring. TSM now monitors 17 countries, 6 languages, and most major regions, states, and cities in each market.

Geo-targeted monitoring enables companies to watch their competition and affiliates, and to manage their reputation and brand use locally. With this launch, interactive agencies, marketers, affiliate managers, and compliance teams are able to monitor paid search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites around the world from a local point of view in countries including: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and many others. Monitoring can be conducted in English or in the language native to each country.

By gaining visibility into global search markets, companies will be able to overcome a key challenge in analyzing activity in their extended markets. Prior to the geo-targeting capabilities of TSM, an agency with clients worldwide could not effectively monitor locally targeted ads because its visibility was limited to its home base. TSM’s new capabilities provide the insights needed at the local level to protect brands and optimize search campaigns on locally.

The Search Monitor offers important information that can only be gained by careful 24×7 automated monitoring, and surfaces the information in 3 easy to use reporting sections:

1.    Competitor Monitor gives insights into competitive bidding strategies, competitor market share and visibility, ranking on sponsored search, ad copy strategies, and promotions like free shipping, trials, or sales.

2.    Trademark Monitor eases the tasks associated with reputation management by auto-detecting advertisers sponsoring branded keywords, use of trademarks and slogans in ad copy and display urls, and negative, positive, and neutral brand buzz on blogs, news, and web sites.

3.    Affiliate Monitor simplifies oversight of affiliate programs by auto-identification of affiliates using sponsored search to detect violations of rank requirements, keyword restrictions, ad copy requirements or restrictions, and landing page copy requirements or restrictions.

Search engine marketing has become a critical component for advertisers. According to the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO), North American advertisers spent $12.2 billion on SEM in 2007 and that figure is estimated to more than double to reach $25.2 billion by 2011. The Search Monitor was developed to provide the tools necessary to optimize the sizable investments being made in this medium and to protect brands from competitive threats.

“Monitoring both globally and locally is critical in benchmarking competitor advertising strategies and for watching affiliate activities online,” says Shaun Martinec, a TSM founder. “Many affiliates will carefully craft their campaigns at the local level in order to take advantage of better priced keywords or to avoid merchant detection when they are not in compliance with affiliate program terms. We find that major brand marketers are often outbid by competitors and affiliates on top terms at the local level.”

About The Search Monitor

The Search Monitor is comprised of a team of SEM enthusiasts who uncovered a need in the market for external automated monitoring of competitive activities on paid search, web sites, blogs, social media, and press coverage. Automated monitoring greatly reduces the number of hours and effort required to manage affiliates and competitors infringing on brands and misrepresenting products across the web. Further, automated monitoring reveals competitive marketing strategies that enable advertisers to benchmark their own performance, optimize ad budgets, detect successful ad copy combinations, and receive advance awareness of special offers like free shipping and sales dominating their verticals. The Search Monitor is offered as a web based subscription service. To learn more please visit www.thesearchmonitor.com .

In the world of Listbuilding, it’s as if Yahoo and Google decided to work together on a search engine: Internet Marketing Master Shawn Casey and his student, Listbuilding Jedi Tellman Knudson, are bringing their “forces” together to create the ultimate Listbuilding course to help new entrepreneurs conquer their fears and build their own ‘robotic moneymaking machines.’

Brattleboro, VT April 20, 2008 — It’s like a scene from Star Wars, the one we all wanted to see: where Luke Skywalker joins up with Obi Wan Kenobi and they put their lightsabers together and team up to side-by-side against Darth Vader to clear the way for the new generation of young Jedi Knights. Shawn Casey, best-selling author of Mining Gold on the Internet, and Tellman Knudson of Overcome Everything, Inc. have teamed up to create what they call the ‘Ultimate Listbuilding course’ — appropriately named after it’s future home on the Internet: Listbuilding.com. It’s purpose, they say, is to help the next generation of entrepreneurs quickly and easily build lucrative businesses online using the most respectable, proven and long-lasting of the internet skills: Listbuilding.

Currently in pre-launch, this giant of a Listbuilding resource is scheduled to launch this spring; and if pre-launch activity is any indication, it’s going to be simply huge. At press time, the services and materials they have distributed free of charge — including step-by-step videos on how to create a site, a 24-hour “Squeeze-A-thon” that helped over 200 business owners get their squeeze pages built, and tell-all reports on how Shawn and Tellman started their own multi-million dollar businesses — have received raving reviews.

Both Casey and Knudson have incredible rags-to-riches stories that prove anyone, no matter where they come from in the universe, can make this work. “I started my company on 50 bucks and a ‘Frankenstein’ computer that was built out of other broken machines and resold,” said Knudson. “The CD drive was hanging out of the front because it didn’t work unless I held it in my hand and shook it, and the fan was so loud I couldn’t make a business call in the same room as my computer.” In his desperate search to make a living online, he accidentally found a copy of Casey’s Mining Gold on the Internet. “At the time, I had no idea who wrote it or what it was really worth” says Knudson, “I was clueless, and going further in the hole each day. But I kept at it, hoping something, someday would work.”

Then, he got Shawn Casey on the phone for just twenty-two minutes–and things changed. “Shawn told me a few things–but one of them was I had to send out these nine emails all in a row, and I didn’t want to do it; but he was ‘the master’–so I did,” says Knudson. Because he trusted his teacher, Knudson made $800,000 in profit that year alone–his first year online. Now he owns a multi-million dollar company with twelve employees, but he’s never forgotten who helped him when he was in need.

Casey, who was practicing law in back in 1995, started in a small, cramped apartment in Pittsburgh during the summer–with no air conditioning in 100 degree conditions. “I was living in an efficiency apartment that had no furniture in it, except for a table, two chairs, and a sofa that the landlord had let me scrounge from the furniture left over from previous tenants that he had piled up in the basement,” said Casey. From this humble beginning, Casey rose to become CEO of a company that made the Inc. 500 list for two years running. Yet, feeling suffocated by the corporate rat race, he wanted something more.

Then he discovered the potential power of direct marketing on the Internet. He applied his expert skills from his corporate days to this new business-form, and quickly became a master of building ‘robotic moneymaking machines’ using the internet as raw material. Today, Casey is a multi-multi-millionaire, who often runs his business while vacationing in the Caribbean (which Obi Wan would certainly have made his headquarters instead of the desert if only he’d known about it).
In all seriousness, both Casey and Knudson live a life that most people only dream of. Tellman now lives in a million dollar mansion in the woods of Vermont and works from home as well.

Casey says their inspiration and goal for this joint project is to teach other people to do the same thing they did–in half the time. The course, which will be released sometime in late April, will follow on the heels of the pre-launch materials out for viewing now, including free training videos, reports and case studies (also on video) of their previous students, who have made their own dreams come true following the advice of “the Marketing Master and the List Building Jedi.”

For more information about their upcoming series of trainings, destined to change the face of Internet Marketing, contact Kyle Battis, Affiliate Manager, or get more information at the ListBuilding.com website at eye-candy.ch

Invesp, a marketing consulting boutique that offers conversion optimization services, announced that its clients had an average conversion rate of 11.12 percent in 2007, which translates into an increase of up to 321 percent in online revenue.

Detroit, MI January 14, 2008 — Most large online companies have reported a soar in their sales. Companies with significant web presences such as Amazon, Bestbuy and Motorola were able to drive hundreds of thousands of visitors to their sites and as a result reported double digit growth in sales. Other e-commerce sites do not have such brand awareness and are not enjoying the same revenue growth. Most of these sites are turning to conversion optimization companies to help them boost sales. Invesp, a marketing consulting boutique, announced that its clients had an average conversion rate of 11.12 percent in 2007 reporting an increase of up to 321 percent in online revenue.

The fact is that at the heart of every ecommerce website is someone whose job is to increase revenue. As there is an increased pressure on online retailers to generate more sales, these sites are trying to figure out ways to convert more of their traffic into actual consumers, which is why it is crucial to focus on conversion rates. Data tracked by Invesp Consulting, a marketing optimization company, indicates that online conversion rates have been on a steady decline for the last 6 years. Fireclick index, which provides an objective comparison of key metrics across a variety of segments, reported that ecommerce website reported an average conversion rate of 6 percent in the year 2000, but by 2007, most ecommerce sites are reporting an average less than 2 percent.

Surprisingly, these rates have not always been this low. Ecommerce sites used to experience more sales because of limited competition. They were not required to be optimized nor designed with users in mind. But with the boom in e-retailing sites, competition is fierce. Sites are turning to conversion optimization methods with one goal in mind: trying to figure out the best way to increase online conversions.

And companies should be concerned with conversions since there are more users than ever online. Users are picky, if the site does not capture their attention because of the lack of optimization and focus, they will click out within seconds. That translates into hundreds of dollars in lost sales.

For an ecommerce site driving 50,000 visitors a day, a 2 percent conversion rate may suffice. But, conversion rate doesn’t have to stop at that low number. Ayat Shukairy, a managing partner at Invesp Consulting (www.invesp.com), says, “if you’ve already invested hundreds of thousands into your online platform, you are getting tens of thousands of visitors to your site every day. Increasing your website conversion rate can mean getting 1,000 orders instead of 500 orders. Our clients are reporting an average of 11 percent conversion rate. That translates into 321 percent increase in revenue. If companies do not fix the problem with their website, then they are simply leaving money on the table for competitors to take.”

But there is hope for ecommerce sites; an online presence has a lot to offer. Increasing online Conversion rate via conversion optimization consulting is the solution for sites ready to see improvements. Optimized sites report tremendous increases in their conversion rates.

Online marketing and selling has always been a challenge because of the anonymity of the customer. However, with great online marketing tools and analytics, this data is no longer inaccessible. Ayat Shukairy adds: “Understanding your online visitor/customer is the first hurdle ecommerce companies must overcome in order to see a jump in conversion rates in sales. Once the customer is tacit, the process to improving rates and getting more from your online ROI begins.”

An upcoming company in the conversion optimization space, Invesp has a unique and successful methodology in terms of increasing conversion rate. The approach has been developed as a result of years of experience within the industry and the collaboration of a unique team of experts. They have developed a framework that will assist ecommerce sites to see their customers from a different perspective. Once the consumer is understood and accounted for, the site is built upon that knowledge which will lead to higher conversion rates.

Khalid Hajsaleh, CEO at Invesp, concurs: “Many companies try to solve the problem of low conversion rates by testing thousands of variations of your pages and determining what works best. That is an expensive and in many times an ineffective way to solve the problem. Our approach involves starting from the ground up. We understand your market, develop personas, develop the page, and then test a few calculated variations. This method has proven to get better results.”

Invesp consulting is an online marketing and conversion optimization company that offers a variety of conversion services including landing page optimization (www.invesp.com/marketing-services/landing-page-creation-optimization.html) and full conversion services (www.invesp.com/marketing-services/conversion-services.html).

A new email SMTP service has been developed for travelers which fixes the widespread problem of not being able to send emails from laptops.

New Zealand August 1, 2007 — For many travelers, the need to be able to email people, make cheap phone calls, and connect to the Web, has meant that a laptop has become an essential item to take on any trip. However, many travelers have discovered there is a problem with using an email client, such as Outlook Express, on a laptop – they can still receive, but can no longer send email.

Charles Abrahamson, a former backpacker and computer science graduate from New Zealand, discovered this while vacationing in Argentina recently. “Within the first day, I discovered that none of the Internet cafes or hotels I tried connecting through would allow any of my emails to be sent.” A few days of research later, after discovering the problem was in fact worldwide, he decided to create an SMTP service designed specifically to get around the usual problems that travelers experience, called SMTP2Go.

“The main reason why travelers have such difficulty sending emails is in fact because the server they were given by their ISP to send emails (their SMTP server) is normally designed by their ISP to only work when they are actually connected to the Internet at home. This is actually done on purpose by ISPs in order to prevent spammers from taking advantage of the server.”

Another reason why sending emails is so difficult is the fact that increasing numbers of Internet cafes and hotels are banning the traditional port – port number 25 – that is used to send emails. “SMTP2Go was designed to be open on multiple ports, and to work from any location, while only allowing legitimate users and rejecting any attempts to send spam or unsolicited bulk email.”

Charles spent the next 4 months traveling through Chile, Costa Rica, and even Cuba, with no problems sending email: “SMTP2Go has been great, not only for me, but for hundreds of other travelers who are now using it from all 4 corners of the globe – we have travelers using it in Australia, South Africa, Canada, India, Norway, Switzerland and of course the UK and the USA.” In fact, most subscribers are from the USA, either traveling within their own country, or simply tired with the unreliability of their normal SMTP server.

SMTP2Go’s SMTP service is available at www.smtp2go.com at ‘backpacker’ rates ($2 per month for the most popular plan).
