Alternative to Yellow Pages Advertising
July 12, 2007 | Written by annliu | Filed Under Programs & Networks
Usage of traditional Yellow Pages is dwindling, year after year. Why? Because of Local Searchon the Internet - A highly effective way of contacting local customers that costs a fraction of Yellow Page advertising.
According to the research - the number of searches for local products and services is expected to grow at a rate of 33% each year for the rest of the decade while the searches in traditional Yellow Pages drops by 4% per year over this same period.
It is therefore essential for every business to be found in the local search services of the major search engines.
Here are some interesting statistics:
Get Found Local puts businesses right where they need to be when their customers are looking for them. They specialize in *local* search results.
And that is what caught my attention…
Search engine optimization firms have been around for some time. But, Get Found Local is the first firm that I have come across that specializes in the *local* search results on engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Dex, Superpages and other local information providers.
As an example, you are a plumber in Phoenix, AZ. You have an optimized listing in Google Local Search. Someone in Phoenix needs a plumber and types in “plumber phoenix az” into Google, which is very common. When they get their results back, the top three results will be *local* results. And there you are listed at the top of page one! (Of course, results may vary.)
So, do you see the power of *local* search optimization? Is it not apparent that *every* small business in the US *needs* this service?
And, the really cool thing about it is that it is very inexpensive. It only costs $249 for a merchant to get set up and $49 per month maintenance.
Now, here is the really cool part. As an affiliate you receive $100 of that setup fee and $10 per month *residual*!
I have seen very few affiliate programs with that kind of compensation. And it is an easy sell!
Additionally, this program is two-tier. If you get another affiliate to sign up and promote Get Found Local, you will earn $50 on each account they sell!
Huge, exciting potential.
There is a wide variety of creative provided for both online marketing and *offline*. In addition to banners and text ads, there are PDF files you can download and print out of full page, half page and business card size ads with your affiliate ID inserted into them.
So let’s go local - check out Get Found Local and see how it can help your business.
