SMEs Ignore Search Engine Importance and Lose Their Share of £19.2 Billion Online Sales49 per cent of SMEs might never be found online due to their disregard of the importance of search engines.
(PRWEB) March 15, 2006 -- Almost half of all small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) do not submit their web sites to search engines, research carried out by Fasthosts (http://www.fasthosts.co.uk ) has found. Additionally, a massive 66 per cent of internet users and potential customers indicated that they only looked at the first two pages of search results. These two findings mean that most small businesses may never be discovered online, resulting in loss of revenue every day they are not visible on the web. Fasthosts SMEs On The Web survey asked more than 2,000 SMEs about their search engine practices, attitudes towards sponsored links and favoured search engines.
In 2005, UK consumers spent £19.2 billion online on goods and services and that figure is forecast to grow by 36 per cent in 2006 (IMRG). Consumers use search engines as a first point of call to search for products and services, and 89 per cent of respondents stated that Google was their search engine of choice. However, companies need to ensure a high listing within the natural results on the left hand side, as 30 per cent of respondents indicated that they never click on sponsored links.
Our study once again shows the importance of search engines. In 2006, no business can afford to be invisible online, yet too many SMEs are, commented Andrew Michael, CEO, Fasthosts. I was amazed to see that SMEs are not considering how much they personally use search engines when it comes to the importance of ranking for their own company. If you are not listed on Google, your web site might as well not be online, he added.
Fasthosts TrafficDriver offers a free search engine submission service with its business web hosting package. The package includes an easy to use site creation tool and automated monthly search engine submissions - furthermore it has integrated advanced search engine optimisation to establish and improve sites search rankings. By using these Fasthosts tools companies can create an online presence and generate traffic within days.
2094 businesses participated in the online survey carried out during January and February 2006 by Fasthosts. 49 per cent of respondents admitted that they do not submit their website to search engines, which accounted for 1,026 votes. To take part in the survey, and to see the full results, please visit http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/poll/.

A New Solution for Finding the Best General Web Sites in a World Wide Web Deluged with the MassesStreamlined catalogue of the best internet web sites solves problem for frustrated surfers seeking quality information in style. Indefinet.com aims to fulfill the need to filter the best resources on the internet for the public to enjoy an optimum web experience. A web site for tomorrow, IndefiNet.com rejects priorities of submission related income and mass inclusion to offer a genuine, quality web experience.
Kensington, London (PRWEB) March 9, 2006 -- Internet users suffer a scarcity of resources which list a streamlined and organized catalogue of the best general web sites. It is common knowledge the top directories offer a broad-based service which can swamp the user with insignificant/mediocre listings. A new web site has been created to solve the problem for Internet users internationally. IndefiNet.com Director Mr Terry A Browne believes this will greatly enhance the public's Web-surfing experience and help to provide a much needed solution for the market.
IndefiNet.com aims to only list web sites with the most prominent information which will be of good use to the public. There are twenty-six categories within it's 'Business & Commercial' section ranging from the 'Arts' to 'Travel' and everything in-between. Submissions are not based on a fee paying system, but are filtered purely by the quality of the web site submitted, hence emphasising indefiNet.com's dedication to quality over profits. There is also a 'Domestic' section for the public to submit their personal/domestic web sites and have them featured.
The two largest and most popular directories are DMOZ and Yahoo. DMOZ has (as of 10 March 2006) 5,267,449 listings and Yahoo is estimated to be over 3,000,000. Not all of these listed web sites are top quality, nor the most useful.
Search engines and directories have a way to go before truly satisfying public demands. IndefiNet.com is here to provide a service the public will be happy with by implementing quality as its main criteria, over the quantity of web sites available. Mr Terry A Browne commented.
IndefiNet.com was conceived in January 2004 and was an ongoing development until it's completion in February 2006. IndefiNet.com provides a catalogue of over 13,000 hand-picked and specialised general web sites organized into categories. Other features include a multiple search engine Web search feature, a forum for conscientious intellectuals, and access to online music. These services are geared to provide users with an enjoyable and smooth Web experience. The main feature of indefiNet.com is its catalogue of web sites, whilst users can connect to a variety of online radio stations for entertainment whilst surfing, join the 'forum for conscientious intellectuals' to discuss and debate important concerns in life, or search the Web using a variety of top quality search engines if they want to find specific information quickly.

Advolution, The Next Revolution in Search Engines, Guarantees No Click FraudAdvolution, the next revolution in search engines, guarantees absolutely no click fraud for its advertisers.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Advolution (http://www.advolution.com), the next revolution in search engines, guarantees absolutely no click fraud for its advertisers.
With the recently announced $90 million click fraud settlement made by Google, advertisers are waking up to one of the main drawbacks of pay-per-click advertising.
Google and Yahoo have shown that the amount an advertiser is willing to pay to be associated with a search term correlates well with how valuable that listing will also be for the searcher.
However, under their pay-per-click systems, advertisers have to pay for each and every click and are increasingly victims of "click fraud" (competitors clicking on ads to deplete the advertiser's budget and/or search engine affiliate partners clicking on them to make money for themselves).
Under Advolution's pay-for-position system, advertisers pay only once to have a listing associated with a search term. Search results are ranked by the dollar amount paid for each listing. In case of a tie, the older listing takes precedence.
Advertisers (and searchers) receive the benefit of pay-per-click without having to pay for each click (or worry about click fraud).
Advolution listings are similar to the search results at other search engines, except that with Advolution advertisers have full control over:
* How their listing looks.
* What search terms it is associated with.
* Where it shows up in the search results.
ABOUT ADVOLUTION
Advolution provides a compelling new search engine alternative for searchers, advertisers, and affiliate partners ("the benefits of pay-per-click without the actual pay-per-click" - and thus without any click fraud). Searchers receive quality Advolution listings and can also click through for additional results from other search engines. Advertisers free themselves from having to pay for each and every click. An affiliate program with a generous revenue share is also available. Additional information: http://www.advolution.com

{InsertImage}
Search & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace, Inc. is to use a viral marketing campaign to release its re-designed WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool which now incorporates MSN search.
The Webfetch.com Search Comparison Tool can be added to Websites and Blogs from WebFetch.com for free by Website owners at http://comparesearchengines.webfetch.com/blog.aspx, by simply adding a small HTML code into their Webpages. The viral element to the tool allows the user to send an invite to a friend to experience the benefits of metasearch and try the service. It is the first use of viral marketing in the EU and UK by InfoSpace to create a word-of-mouth buzz around the products and services it delivers.
The Search Comparison Tool that drives its results from WebFetch.com for the EU and UK compares search engine results from Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo! from a microsite that allows searches to be undertaken and then compared. By bringing search results together in one resource, InfoSpace illustrates how WebFetch.com delivers the most relevant results on the Web.
Dominic Trigg, vice president at InfoSpace Search & Directory explains, Only 1.1 percent of search results from the top four search engines (Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo!) are the same. The WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool shows what the different results are across these search engines and clearly explains their outcomes from searches. As a result of this, the tool demonstrates that business and consumer users can get more top results in one place using the WebFetch.com metasearch engine.
The new design and improvements take the user through a Flash demonstration and allows them to make real-time searches displaying the results that have been returned by each search engine. The tool shows how many results appear on the first page of that search engine, how many results are completely unique to that search engine and then moves onto the next search engine to do the same.
Once the tool has returned results back from all of the search engines, it then shows the Webs top results (using green buttons) and WebFetch.coms top results (using orange buttons). By hovering over the green and orange buttons the user is able to see the origin of each search result and if desired enables them clickthrough to see those results in that search engine. There is also a blue button with a down arrow that may be clicked on to allow the user to switch the results of the engines so that they can see alternative views of the results and overlaps.
The WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool exemplifies how InfoSpace private labelled search can be used to increase loyalty and revenue across a business Websites by bringing more relevant results to their user-base from the top engines with just one click. It was a natural choice to use a viral hook to have Website owners and the users themselves tell their colleagues, friends and relatives about their metasearch experiences having used the tools. The bonus for Website owners is that the instantly tap in the power InfoSpace metasearch engine WebFetch.com presenting an alternative method to source more relevant search results to the Web audiences using their site for free, adds Trigg

What's Next for the Pixel Craze? PixelAdManager.comMove over Million Dollar Homepage -- There is a new kid in town. PixelAdManager.com is the next generation of advertising online through automated pixel ads.
(PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Whether youve heard about the pixel craze or not, Ilya Pozin, of Pixel Ad Manager has developed a way to cash in on the idea and give businesses a new way to earn additional revenue from their websites.
The pixel craze was started by Alex Tew, a 21 year old British college student who came up with the idea of selling pixels on a website. He created a website called the milliondollarhomepage.com. Alex did all of this to ensure he could graduate college without a huge debt of student loans attached to his diploma. Brilliant idea right?
Well, the problem with Mr. Tews development is that it only offers pixel images as a one time fee- with no benefit for the website owner besides traffic. That fad is slowly dying out. Pozin, asks, How about letting website owners make some cold hard cash with a similar idea? Pixel Ad Manager is leading the way for all businesses to do just that! But, how do they do it?
Research is showing us that pixel ads are increasing in popularity over banner ads. Regular banner ads are boring and are often just rotated on sites. With Pozins idea, pixel banner ads can display anywhere from one advertisement to hundreds of advertisements, all on one banner. A website owner can now make a banner with as many pixels as they want and accept payments from advertisers immediately. This provides more visibility for each advertiser and more revenue for the website owner. In addition, website owners can put the same banner on unlimited number of pages and sites. Its a win-win situation.
To find out more about how to earn extra revenue from websites by offering pixel ads visit Pixel Ad Manager.

Global Internet Solutions Not a WebAward winnerGlobal Internet Solutions claims to have won a Webaward from the Web Marketing Association. This is not true. They have never received any awards from the Web Marketing Association.
(PRWEB) March 9, 2006 -- We want to warn the online Web site development community that Global Internet Solutions whos Web site is located at www.gisol.com claims on its Web site that "Global Internet Solutions has won the award from the prestigious Webawards competition." This is in fact not true. They have never entered the WebAward competition, nor have they received any awards from the Web Marketing Association.
We have received several complaints regarding Global Internet Solutions and have learned that many, if not all of the awards, they promote on their Web site were not earned. It is apparent from their unethical and illegal use of our logo on their Web site that anyone considering purchasing their services should be warned.
Displaying a WebAward icon on your Website is a sign that a company meets or exceeds the highest standards of excellence on the Web today, said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. However, it is unfortunate when a company tries to be recognized for something it did not earn. We will do everything in our power, even if that requires legal means, to insure only WebAward winners display our icon of there Web site.
About the Web Marketing Association
The 10th annual international WebAwards competition sets the standard of excellence in 96 industry categories by evaluating Web sites and defining benchmarks based on the seven essential criteria of successful Web site development. The goal of the Web Marketing Association, sponsor of the WebAwards, is to provide a forum to recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the most effective Web sites on the Internet today. Entrants benefit from a Web site assessment by a professional judging panel and the marketing opportunities presented to an award-winning Web site.

New Web Engine to Redefine Searching on the WebOtavo's Intention Engine is poised to redefine searching on the web by allowing its users to simply state what they are looking for instead of typing keywords and sifting through irrelevant results.
St. Catharines, ON (PRWEB) March 3, 2006 -- Otavo, has developed the first intention engine. A technology designed to index the unindexable content by pooling together the intentions of its users.
Intention is what drives peoples web activity. By pooling similar intentions and grouping resources according to intentions Otavo's new Intention Engine, is able to allow users to spell out their intentions in a search box, and have meaningful results returned.
The search results are generated from information found and shared by people that have had similar intentions. "It is like taking pages and pages of Google results and selecting the best ones and putting them all in one place" said Matt, one of the beta testers.
"We call each intention a quest. People join these quests for information and knowledge and are truly enriched by sharing what they find together" said Amanuel founder, and social ambassador of Otavo.
Amanuel added "The inspiration came 3 years ago, as my wife complained about being unable to find what she was looking for using the search engines" This started a 3 year obsession to finding a solution to the problem.
According to Amanuel, Otavo has made the preview version of its Intention Engine available to a small number of 'heavy web surfers' and select bloggers.
With luck, Otavo will prove popular to them and to the original user who sparked the idea.
Otavo.com Inc. started the intentional web revolution with its intention engine redefining the web from the visitor's point of view. For more information, visit http://otavo.com.

[Editor's comments: VERY interesting idea, but I'm worried that this is like trying to improve a hammer so users don't hit their thumb, when a small amount of training might be more effective with less effort.
From what I have seen, users don't know how to search. They think Boolean logic is some type of European stew, and quotes are only used to embarrass politicians. There is a large percentage of the population that continually says, "Oh, you know what I mean...!!" and of course we don't really because we don't have a copy of the code book they use. If this company can really help to understand the intentions of web searchers, then perhaps the same technology could be use to improve interpersonal communications. Now THERE'S a market opportunity...! (hris ]

'Drop Catchers' Buy and Sell Web Names Others Let Slip
Last month, Chicago real-estate agent Judy Orr discovered that a Web site she used to showcase area homes had gone off-line. It turned out she had failed to pay the $9 annual renewal fee for her Web address, oak-lawn-real-estate.com.
But getting her site back online wasn't as easy as she had hoped: Another company had snapped up the domain name and wanted nearly $2,500 to return it to her. "I was sick to my stomach," Ms. Orr says. It took two years of work to build up the site so it would rank prominently in Google's search results, and that time "went down the drain," she says.
The new owner of the address was Lease Domains Inc., which is run by a 21-year-old graduate student, Anthos Chrysanthou, who works out of his parents' house in a Chicago suburb. Mr. Chrysanthou says his two-year-old company owns more than 2,000 domain names, many obtained through a process called "drop catching" -- snagging names owners have let expire, either accidentally or because they no longer want them.
"I liken the whole situation to tangible real estate," says Mr. Chrysanthou, who is pursuing his master's in business administration at St. Xavier University in Chicago. "If you're not paying your mortgage or your taxes on it, it's going to get taken away."
Mr. Chrysanthou is one of hundreds of drop catchers who either resell names or use them for Web sites loaded with advertisements. (Ms. Orr's former site now features text ads for real estate.) Many drop catchers have learned the trade in the past year, seeking a piece of the booming market for domains spurred by a surge in online advertising. The practice also has gotten a lift from providers of domain services, such as SnapNames.com Inc., Pool.com Inc. and GoDaddy.com Inc., which have introduced tools aimed at helping people grab expiring domains.
The services circulate lists each day showing which domains are about to go up for grabs. Auctions are held for particularly in-demand names, and prices can go sky-high: A1.com sold for $260,250 in December, after its previous owner let the registration lapse.
Drop catching "has pretty much changed completely in a few years' time," says Michael Berkens, who runs MostWantedDomains.com, owner of about 45,000 domains, which range from 4nudepictures.com to 401kplans.com, out of his Fort Lauderdale, Fla., home. "There's more people," he says, and "prices have just escalated."
DNJournal.com, a publication that tracks the domain industry, reported 2,291 sales of expired domains in auctions last year, with winning bids totaling a combined $11.5 million. That was up from 885 sales totaling $4.2 million a year earlier. Auctioneers don't report all deals to DNJournal, and the site doesn't track deals valued at less than $500.
Roughly 20,000 expired domain names become available each day, according to industry executives. While many were consciously discarded by their owners, others, like Ms. Orr's, are the product of a domain-registration system that many users don't understand well.
When a user registers a domain name, it can be reserved for as many as 10 years, typically for $80. But many choose a one-year registration because it is less expensive, often about $10, and because they may not want the site for a longer period. At the end of the year, the domain registrar generally sends renewal notices to the owner, but such messages can be missed if the owner has changed email addresses in that time.
Under rules administered by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the group that oversees the assignment of Web addresses, domain registrars such as GoDaddy and Network Solutions LLC have as many as 45 days after the expiration date to notify the official domain registry whether a name is being renewed or deleted. Typically, registrars have given users a grace period -- sometimes as long as 45 days -- to renew their name.
If a name is deleted, ICANN guidelines then call for a 30-day "redemption grace period," during which the original owner can still claim the name. If there is no claim in the redemption period, the name is dropped from the registry after a five-day holding period, and anyone is entitled to seek it.
For the .com and .net registries, managed by VeriSign Inc., names drop starting around 2 p.m. Eastern each day, all year long. What follows is a process that some in the industry call "pounding." As the names drop, Internet companies that help users acquire expired names send rapid computer commands to the registry, seeking to grab the most valuable names. It is "a mad rush," says Dan Rubin, who runs justdropped.com, which helps people identify and acquire expired domains. Registries for other domain suffixes drop names at different times of day.
The drop process underwent a key shift starting in late 2004. That is when SnapNames started a new service for grabbing domains. The company has signed exclusive agreements with more than a half-dozen registrars, including Network Solutions and Moniker.com, under which the registrars transfer expired domains to SnapNames, and SnapNames auctions them off. That way, names that people are interested in don't go through the traditional drop process that is open to anyone.
GoDaddy, the largest domain registrar, has introduced its own auction service for expired names that were registered with it, as have other registrars, as they seek a cut of the action for expired names. They begin auctions for names even before the names have officially expired but warn auction participants that the original owner could still redeem the name.
For domain owners, the new system means names can be grabbed from them even more quickly than they could before. Instead of going through the full deletion cycle -- which went as long as 75 days -- names are being transferred to new owners in 30 to 45 days.
Paul Twomey, chief executive of ICANN, says some people in the domain industry recently have raised concerns that the guidelines governing expired names are "being utilized in ways that were not originally intended." But Mr. Twomey says no one has proposed a formal change in policy to address the issue.
Ms. Orr's name, oak-lawn-real-estate.com, is one of those that was transferred before going through the full deletion process, says Jay Westerdal, who runs Name Intelligence Inc., a Bellevue, Wash., company that tracks the industry.
Tim Ruiz, vice president of domain services for GoDaddy, which transferred the name, says, "We make every attempt to give ample opportunity for registrants to renew." He says the company gives registrants 30 days to claim a name after it has expired.
If a corporation loses a domain name that it believes is copyrighted or trademarked, it can seek to recover the name by appealing to an arbitration panel under ICANN's dispute-resolution policy. It also could take the domain's new owner to court, though that can be more expensive.
Ms. Orr says she lost her site's name, which wasn't copyrighted or trademarked, because she made the mistake of relying on her Web-hosting company to keep track of her registration. She says she didn't see renewal notices from GoDaddy because it had an old email address for her. Ms. Orr plans to use another site -- oak-lawn-il.com -- to replace the one she lost.

VEGAS.com Selects SiteSpect for Web Site A/B and Multivariate TestingWorlds largest travel destination web site automates testing and optimizes conversion rates with in-house testing solution.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 1, 2006 -- SiteSpect, Inc., the first and only provider of non-intrusive web site testing and optimization software, announced that VEGAS.com, the largest purveyor of information about the city of Las Vegas and the most-visited city travel site (Media Metrix), has selected SiteSpect as its strategic platform for conducting continuous real-time A/B and multivariate tests on its web site.
The SiteSpect solution will allow VEGAS.com to replace its manually driven A/B testing process with an automated system that will not tax its web site development team. This will enable VEGAS.com's business users to implement complex multivariate tests independently, without modifying existing content, a capability unique to the patent-pending SiteSpect system.
"We have a unique culture and ability to react quickly to new ideas and SiteSpect is the only vendor who could support our requirement for quick implementation of tests. Our marketing and product staff don't have to plan and schedule a test weeks in advance, waiting for internal IT resources or a vendor's implementation team to become available", said Mike Brown, Vice President of Internet Marketing at VEGAS.com. "SiteSpect's self-service solution allows our business users to create and launch all types of test campaigns themselves -- from straightforward text changes to page layout changes to content changes on dynamically-generated pages."
Mr. Brown comments further, "In the past, our in-house A/B testing was a manual, time-consuming process that was filled with compromise. Simultaneous A/B testing came at the cost of organic search rankings. Sequential A/B testing -- the switching of variables one at a time over the course of weeks and comparing results, introduced uncontrolled variables like fluctuating prices and inventory levels, so we could never be 100% sure of the test results. With SiteSpect, we're getting precise testing that isn't affecting our search engine optimization strategy. At the same time, we're also gaining the efficiencies of simultaneous multivariate testing."
"We are very pleased with VEGAS.com's choice of SiteSpect and, with it, SiteSpect's entry into the travel industry," said Eric Hansen, president of SiteSpect. "The typical travel site, with its dynamically built content syndicated from multiple sources, is where SiteSpect's unique capabilities shine. We are confident that other travel web sites will follow VEGAS.com's lead and discover that SiteSpect is the only product that allows them to optimize any kind of content anywhere on their site without having to coordinate with their content providers."
