News: Search Engine Marketing Keyword Libraries Launched
News Related to the Web Hosting Industry

Novato, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - June 5, 2006 - Search engine marketing analytics tool provider and consulting company, SEMphonic, has premiered Keyword Library Bundles for CampaignTracker. The Libraries are a new add-on for CampaignTracker designed to provide a pre-built, optimized word-list developed by search professionals specifically for target industries.

There are libraries for a number of different industries including: Mortgage, Airline, Car Rental, Healthcare, Real-Estate and Automotive. The libraries are built within, and designed to be used in conjunction with, CampaignTracker. CampaignTracker is SEMphonic's PPC Reporting and competitor tracking software.

Gary Angel, President of SEMphonic commented, ''Building keyword lists can be time-consuming and demand a fair amount of SEM expertise to tune well. Typically, customers use CampaignTracker to first build a word list of relevant search terms and then track their competitors against this list. With the Keyword Library, however, users can start tracking competitors immediately - using the out-of-the-box industry terms provided.''

According to the company, each Keyword Library was actually built using CampaignTracker. SEMphonic Search professionals used the software to scan the sites of leading companies within the industry. Then they researched thousands of generated keywords on Yahoo and Google. Not only are Search Terms in the Industry Libraries rated by relevance, they are categorized into various sub-groups - each of which can be tracked separately.

According to Mr. Angel, ''The Libraries make it easy to get started doing search engine marketing research. Search engine marketers don't have to build a list of terms by hand - which can take days. Agencies and enterprises get all of the core words in their respective industries -- categorized by professionals - and ready for analysis within CampaignTracker. That means search engine marketers can be tracking competitors in minutes - and with a minimum of effort.''

With the collective features of CampaignTracker and an Industry Keyword Library, it is believed that companies can monitor campaign performance across multiple search engines (i.e. Yahoo, Google, etc.), as well as track other media such as banner ads and affiliate networks.

Paul Legutko, Vice President of Search Engine Marketing Analytics at SEMphonic added, ''As we've consistently discovered in our Search Engine Marketing Analytics (SEMA) reports, Search Engine Marketing breeds a highly volatile and competitive environment. Companies using Keyword Library with CampaignTracker are now well positioned with an advanced tool that can analyze even the many few smaller players and improve the quality of and build out keyword lists. Search engine marketing campaign analysis can become a plug and play experience.''

SEMphonic has over 9 years of experience in the field web analytics and Internet marketing. The company focus is to develop and deliver powerful online campaign tracking tools and web analytic consulting services. It is anticipated that SEM practitioners may gain accurate and faster methods to analyze and report on an entire campaign, from comparative PPC/SEO performance to in-depth competitor analysis. As a result, it is believed that this will provide SEM professionals with more rapid, comprehensive, and actionable insights to help improve SEM campaign performance.

SEMphonic provides the technologies, tools, and services to maximize the competitive edge for Agencies and companies such as American Express, WebMD, AOL, CyberTrader, Charles Schwab, Endless Pools, Intuit, Mediasmith, SurePoint Lending, and others. SEMphonic is headquartered in Novato, California.

The new Boston office is designed to accommodate Paid's rapid growth within its celebrity services business which provides fan club management, fan club premium ticketing and experience packages, merchandising and fulfillment to entertainment, music and sports celebrities, as well as sports marketing and NFL player agent representation to professional athletes.

The new headquarters allows Paid to consolidate its administrative staff with its K Sports and Entertainment subsidiary and the staffs of its celebrity services and memorabilia authentication businesses that were previously dispersed in separate facilities. The Company is retaining its fulfillment, customer service and AuctionInc patent-pending ecommerce software operations and staff in its current Brussels Street location in Worcester.

Rich Rotman, CFO and COO of Paid explained, ''The new location consolidates our management and creative staff in one location so we can work more effectively as a team in a facility that better accommodates our technical and space needs. We are now closer to many of our current and potential customers, as well as the airport, and it offers the opportunity for expansion in the future. Furthermore, the move frees up space within our Worcester customer service and fulfillment center that will be used to service our rapidly growing celebrity services and AuctionInc businesses.''

Mr. Rotman continued, ''Paid has reached another milestone with the retirement of our only secured long-term debt. We're grateful that Augustine Fund provided the capital necessary during critical periods to grow our business and provided valuable advice and personnel at critical junctures in our development. Augustine's loans helped us fund the development of our patented shipping calculation and auction management processes, as well as the growth of our celebrity services business, which propelled our 2005 revenue to increase more than 165% over 2004, with dramatic revenue growth continuing into 2006.''
