News: Search Engine Marketing Solution, Launched by ActivEngage
Orlando, Florida - (Website Hosting Directory) - December 10, 2008 - The ActivEngage provider of proactive live chat for dealer websites, has launched its new low cost laser-targeted search engine marketing for dealerships, with its ActivSEM.
During the current challenging economic period, ActivEngage offers dealers this value-added service to help increase website traffic, lead generation and sales. Dealers can now maximize online search, without any significant increase in spending, and with ongoing analysis to continuously improve results.
Peter Wilson, Owner of Orlando Infiniti remarked, ''We have seen a significant increase in our website traffic and our lead generation since we began using ActivSEM. The boost in traffic and leads couldn't come at a better time. ActivEngage is putting money back into our dealership and the results have been phenomenal. They are genuinely trying to help our dealership, and it's working.''
ActivSEM targets automotive consumers who have the highest conversion rates and tracks the keywords used in automotive searches that end in live chat at the dealership website. Monitoring the search terms used by consumers who ultimately engage in chat is more valuable then merely measuring click-through rates, because site visitors who engage in chat have much higher sales conversion rates. In addition, as many dealerships decrease their online marketing spending, the dealerships who continue search marketing have the advantage of less competition. This special offer will help keep dealers in front of consumers on the Internet at a low cost, only $99 per month plus ad costs. ActivEngage will manage dealerships' SEM budget and make continuous adjustments to increase traffic, leads and sales.
Ted Rubin, co-founder of ActivEngage remarked, ''We are not offering this additional service to make money. We're offering it to help our dealers increase qualified web traffic, which has declined for many dealers in the current economic environment. ActivSEM is available to dealerships at our cost and dealers can be sure that no money is wasted because we track and monitor all results. We want to make sure that our dealers thrive, even during this difficult time and we are committed to doing everything we can to help dealers succeed.''
ActivEngage's proprietary business logic was designed in dealerships to meet the needs of sophisticated automotive shoppers. It laser targets each website visitor with the exact right message at the exact right time to get them to take action. The system has been strenuously tested for every type of dealership. It works because the company founders have over 30 years of retail automotive and technology experience, giving ActivEngage a true 360 degree understanding of the needs of automotive shoppers. Partnering with ActivEngage increases lead generation and offsets the increasing marketing costs associated with the sale of new and pre-owned automobiles. ActivEngage offers three tiers of service to ensure that all website visitors' experiences are enjoyable and uncomplicated, thereby increasing the value of dealership websites through better lead generation.

News: Google Search Engine Wiki Application Developed
Cornwall, United Kingdom - (Website Hosting Directory) - December 9, 2008 - The latest development in the Google camp, SearchWiki, offers the user a level of control never before seen in the search landscape, according to the Director of search marketing firm, Guava.
SearchWiki allows users who are signed into their Google accounts to interact with the search results they see, by promoting sites they like or removing sites they deem irrelevant, users can also comment on web pages listed in the results page. This personalised search engine results page is then linked to the user's profile, so the next time they are logged into Google and search for the same query again they see the results page they customised, not the generic one.
Edward Cowell, SEO Director of Guava remarked, ''Technically the launch of Google's SearchWiki is the most significant change to the user search experience since the introduction of Adwords. Universal search whereby Google incorporated video and other content into their search results page simply enhanced the search experience, but SearchWiki actually offers its users the opportunity to interact with the search results page in a very different way which could be quite disruptive to the user experience.''
Currently Google has claimed SearchWiki is not being used to influence generic search engine rankings although it has not ruled out the possibility in the future.
Guava's search engine optimisation team will be monitoring the development of SearchWiki closely; reviewing how users respond to the experience and what affect this may have on future SEO strategies.
Guava is a fresh thinking, digital marketing agency specialising in Search Marketing and Web Development in the UK. Part of the pan-European Guava group with over 200 employees, the UK division is headed up by UK CEO, Graeme Radford with offices in Berkshire and Cornwall. Current Guava clients include Confused.com, Black and Decker and SkyBet.
With the largest index of websites available on the World Wide Web and the industry's most advanced search technology, Google Inc. delivers the fastest and easiest way to find relevant information on the Internet. Google's technological innovations have earned the company numerous industry awards and citations, including two Webby Awards; two WIRED magazine Readers Raves Awards; Best Internet Innovation and Technical Excellence Award from PC Magazine; Best Search Engine on the Internet from Yahoo! Internet Life; Top Ten Best Cybertech from TIME magazine; and Editor's Pick from CNET. A growing number of companies worldwide, including Yahoo! and its international properties, Sony Corporation and its global affiliates, AOL/Netscape, and Cisco Systems, rely on Google to power search on their websites. A privately held company based in Mountain View, Calif., Google's investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers and Sequoia Capital.
