Having been in Gosport for about an hour and on my return to the ferry I gazed over to the Taxi rank and nine of the original twelve Gosport Taxis was still there. This begs the question, how many more companies, large and small will fail during these testing times? A simple answer is many. So what can be done, if anything to help?

As a business, sometimes we need to advertise to get business, however the cost of that advertising is often expensive. That said the number of people using the Internet is still rising, so surely advertising on the Internet could be the way forward. So how could you advertise or even get noticed on the net?

We are a search engine optimization company and I guess you are thinking I would say “Optimise your Website.” Well yes and no. That would help you get more traffic, however not many people can afford an optimisation service, some do not even have a website. So what else can they do?

You could consider advertising in an online business directory; however the cost of these can range from £200 a year up to £500 a year. But do they offer value? Yes and no. Most take more than one person per page, including your competitors, which is not value so, no. If they are near the top for your search term you then yes, perhaps! Why perhaps? Well let’s look at some examples.

For £348 a year plus vat you could try thebestof, they have some good results, however a problem with them is that more than one person could well share the page for the term you are going for. Did I also mention the £149 plus vat set up fee? They do however offer a network service, but if you were a company offering Coach Holidays, would you need the network? An Accountant on the other hand might. They also drop leaflets through doors a couple of times a year, but you could always do that yourself. So your first year would cost you £497 (plus vat).

What about City Local? The set up fee is only £50 (plus vat) with a regular monthly fee of just £15 (plus vat). However you again share with others; you can add another £10 (plus vat) per month for top spot though. So if we add the figures together, to be top spot, would set you back £395 (plus vat) in year one.

To many this is just too much, is there a cheaper alternative? YES! We are top 10 in Google for search engine optimization; we have created our own business directory. Unlike others we do not share pages with all comers, we only except one person per niche per town. We do not charge a set up fee and we only charge £50 (plus vat) per annum. Are we near the top for all the terms we are going for, No, not yet; however for a directory that is only a few months old we have hundreds of top 10 positions.

Will we continue to charge only £50 (plus vat) per annum, no, however anyone taking a page now will keep that same price for the following year as well, in effect £100 (plus vat) for two years. After that we guarantee that we will not increase your fee above £200 (plus vat) within the first five years of being in the directory.  
Will this stop any companies from folding, probably not, but and it is a big but, it means that some small (or large) companies can get a year of advertising on a highly optimised page attacking local searches for the cost of one local newspaper advert. It may be a small thing, but it is giving these companies what they need right now. Advertising, where advertising works for a fee that is well below the average for this type of service, supported by a one of the top seo companies in the UK.

If anyone from the store would like to email me the stores details I will add them around the web for free as I feel this is so good for everyone in the current economic environment.

I know this is not a search engine optimization post and that’s all for now about Wellworths Dorchester Opens!

Wellworths are situated in Dorchester and has been created by a former worker at the branch, Claire Robertson linking up with the landlord and a few others they open their new store tomorrow.

Drabdesign have just created a page within ImAfter, a Dorchester Directory and with that wishes the Wellworths Dorchester team good luck in their new venture.

Cruise Travel Insurance is one of those often over looked, but very important things that should be arranged as soon as possible before travelling. By linking up with the cheapest insurance company on the net, from my not too exhaustive tests, we feel that our readers at Cruisegle will benefit greatly from the Cruise Travel Insurance package offered.

This has been done as we are changing a lot of focus on the site to affiliate marketing and feel that Affiliate Marketing Solutions is a far more appropriate search term.

Well believe it or not it will actually help me rank for Search Engine Optimization, how do I know this? Well that is why I am doing my job, while you are doing yours. I also bet you never found my site by using the term Search Engine Listings!

I like the idea of using two sites to promote a product, making sure that there is no overlap of content though can be difficult. Good luck to them! This is especially as there are numerous words associated with the niche, such as Affiliates, Pay Per Click and link Marketing.

Anyway I need to get back to myself, after all it is my birthday today, so that is enough about Silvertap and Affiliate Marketing Solutions.

So what is Affiliate Marketing Solutions? Well it is a term used by Search Engine Optimization companies and marketing companies to promote affiliate schemes for other companies on the web. However with about 46 people searching the term each month, it is actually an excuse for their own poor optimization. Why attack this term when Affiliate Marketing has over 8,000 searches a month?

But then Silvertap are fourth for Affiliate Marketing Solutions and only 79th for Affiliate Marketing; I guess their position for the former will impress their merchants. This post has been replaced by another on as they do actually rank high for Affiliate Marketing under another name!

Anyway not sure why I am posting this, so I will stop, I will not mention Silvertap or Affiliate Marketing Solutions again, well not for a day or so anyway!

In the last two months we have worked very hard on the website and it is now ranking very high for terms like Bargain Cruises, Cheap Cruises, Discount Cruises and also Last Minute Cruises. Add to that its rise month on month in numbers of visitors; its great name, Cruisegle and that it is respected by Google and it really has some value, it just needs a little time to finish it, that’s all!

Anyway if anyone wants to buy this Cheap Cruises website including Iglu Cruises, Voyana Cruises and Barrhead Travel Cruises, please contact me via email.
