ineedhits Unveils Expansion of Private Label Search Marketing Reseller Program with API

2009-03-30T02:21:00.003Z

Leading search engine marketing company, ineedhits has announced the latest development in their private label reseller offering.

Perth, Western Australia, March 27, 2009- Already a dominant global retailer of search engine marketing services, ineedhits has enhanced their private label reseller offering. The program now includes a new API based solution which will be available to qualifying partners.

The API driven reseller program will allow partners to sell ineedhits' range of affordable search marketing services to their customers under a private label and from their own website.

ineedhits has over 13 years experience in delivering affordable search engine marketing services. Partners in the program can rest assured that they will get solid ongoing revenue by leveraging the success of these search marketing services.

Warren Duff, ineedhits CEO explains that "reseller programs like this are even more important in these tough times, where every marketing dollar counts. It provides partners with an opportunity to leverage the budget shift towards search engine marketing."

Resellers will be able to offer proven search marketing products to their clients, including ineedhits' highly regarded SEO services and Google advertising solutions, all without the hassle of fulfillment or customer support.

"I see this new reseller model as delivering both an offensive and defensive strategy for our partners." explains Mr. Duff. "It's an offensive strategy as it provides additional revenue for them and ensures an ongoing relationship with their client. On the other hand however, it's a defensive strategy as it keeps competitors out of the picture. These competitors may be leading with SEM services but are also trying to win other business such as hosting, web design or support."

The addition of the API solution to the ineedhits reseller models will allow for easy integration with reseller's existing systems. Partners will be able to sell these products directly from their own website, as a bundle with existing products or even through special offers to their customer base.

ineedhits' unique reseller program offers complete flexibility with various reseller models available to suit partners' unique needs. For further information, please contact Peter Gavalas, VP of Channels & Alliances on 323 332 6645 or peter@ineedhits.com

ineedhits Launches Local Search Listing - A New Local Search Marketing Product for Small Business

2007-05-30T01:03:00.000Z

Local Search Listing - An SEO Innovation Helping Businesses Capture FREE Local Search Traffic

Perth, Western Australia May 29, 2007 -- ineedhits are pleased to announce an innovative development in search marketing for small to medium businesses, with the release of Local Search Listing. Local Search Listing helps businesses capitalize on the rapid growth of local search traffic, and the recent local search initiatives by Google and Yahoo!

Local Search Listing enables businesses to capture their share of local searches by providing them with an instant Online Local Profile, and submitting their business to 35 major local search engines and directories.

The rapid growth of local search over the last 12 months reinforces the importance of an effective local search marketing service for small to medium sized businesses:

Google and Yahoo! now include local listings in their main web search results for local search queries.
Over 60% of U.S. Internet users (over 110 million people) performed a local search in 2006.
41% of those conducting a local search were searching for something in their home area.
47% of local searchers visited a local merchant as a result of their search behavior
52% said they were searching specifically for a business phone number or address.

*ComScore Networks, September 2006

Many businesses are still spending record amounts on offline advertising, in a bid to drive in-store sales. Considering many businesses' websites are not focused on local search visibility, and some are still operating without a website, Local Search Listing helps address their local online marketing needs.

Jackie Shervington, CEO of ineedhits, explains how Local Search Listing was developed to address these search marketing issues.

"People are using the Yellow Pages books less and less as they now go online to search for local businesses in their area. I'm confident this new service gives businesses an affordable and easy local search marketing solution. There is no question that with the latest integration of local features by Yahoo and Google, local search is becoming more important. By acting fast and building their local online presence, businesses will be quick to see a positive return on their investment"

Local Search Listing is an affordable ongoing local search marketing solution that helps businesses gain greater local search visibility, driving more customers through the 'door'. The new service offers the following benefits:

Targeted Exposure in Major Local Search Results - Local Search Listing includes submission to 35 of the most popular local search engines including Yahoo! Local, MSN Local, Google Local and more.
Unique Personalized Online Local Profile - Create a comprehensive, personalised Online Local Profile for your business. Live within minutes, each profile is a unique web page, targeted to local customers specific to each business.
You Don't Need A Website to Get Listed - The Online Local Profile provides businesses their very own 'online storefront' in a matter of minutes.
Always Up to Date - A Local Search Listing may be updated at any time, to reflect changes in products, services, opening hours or even discounts.
Increased Local Search Engine Exposure - Better local search engine visibility will result in more businesses connecting with local customers.

ineedhits Partners with NetElixir to Power their PPC Solution for Small Business

2007-03-06T08:12:00.000Z

As the popularity of pay-per-click (PPC) search advertising has grown and become more competitive, small and medium sized businesses often assume that effective PPC marketing is beyond their budget. ineedhits, a leading search engine marketing company for over 10 years, has completed extensive research and development in releasing Easy PPC; an affordable, professionally managed PPC solution tailored to the needs of small businesses.

The key to the successful release of Easy PPC, was sourcing a technology partner to provide a platform that facilitated the cost effective management of hundreds of pay-per-click campaigns without compromising on the quality of the service.

Ineedhits chose leading PPC management company NetElixir, Inc. as their technology partner, Last year, ineedhits commenced beta testing on NetElixir's LXR100, campaign management platform. Designed with simplicity and effectiveness at the forefront, LXR100 provides a highly intuitive, easy to use interface that strips away much of the arduous work involved in PPC campaign management.

After an extremely successful beta period, ineedhits implemented NetElixir's LXR100 platform on a permanent basis to manage its existing Easy PPC accounts. LXR100 has not only helped ineedhits create immense time savings in the management of their client's Easy PPC campaigns, but the willingness of NetElixir to further develop and expand the capabilities of the platform will ensure that it continues to meet the growing needs of the company.

Both companies look forward to further improving the success of pay-per-click search advertising for small and medium sized businesses, continuing to make it effective and highly affordable irrespective of a company's size.

BETA RELEASE: ineedhits launches SEO Wizard - SEO reseller program

2007-02-16T03:33:00.001Z

Web Hosting and Web Design firms now have access to a suite of essential Free Tools and SEO solutions.

SEO Wizard Reseller Program is a breakthrough offering by ineedhits which provides web hosting and web design companies with fully branded FREE SEO tools and solutions. The unique web service software allows easy implementation and the chance to earn commission without lifting a finger.

Perth, 16th Feb 2007. Leading search engine marketing company, ineedhits (http://www.ineedhits.com/), today unveiled the SEO wizard reseller program creating a new benchmark in SEO resale offerings available to web hosting and web design firms.

2006 saw a number of major brand names such as 1&1.co.uk enter the Search Engine Marketing space with "NEW" SEO offerings. ineedhits CEO Jackie Shervington shares how ineedhits responds to these recent moves.

"We felt there had to be a better way. Rather than trying to create a $5/month solution of tools and gimmicks, we decided to embrace the "freemium" business model. By giving away free tools and simple search engine submissions, while offering an upgrade path towards effective search marketing solutions, resellers now have a genuine way to attract and retain clients while earning strong and recurring commissions."

SEO wizard gives resellers full branded SEO tools such as keyword density reports, search engine position check, competitive position analysis plus a free automated submission service to the major search engines. The tools are designed as online wizards that navigate customers to SEO solutions with immediate revenue generation potential for resellers.

These tools are available via a web service which has been designed so there is little or no IT integration time and are integrated into your website via a simple flash application. With around 2 hours work for a web programmer you're up and running. To see how it works, visit the demo site: www.abcseopartner.com

ineedhits CEO, Jackie Shervington said, "We are excited by the scalable benefits of the SEO reseller program. It allows us to share our 10 years of search engine marketing expertise with many other businesses to the benefits of their own customers."

ineedhits Sales Manager, Peter Gavalas added "Our research and discussions with potential resellers indicated that the biggest challenge in offering search marketing solutions was the distraction from their core business. Many firms have tried to launch an SEO offer but without constant push and promotion the service became an annoyance rather than an "easy dollar". SEO Wizard solves this challenge and allows resellers to earn money without having to actively promote the SEO offering, Plus, resellers are sure to impress their customers by offering several new SEO tools completely free."

The SEO Wizard can earn partners up to 50% commission, based on 10,000 customers, we believe a partner can earn up to $40,000 per annum all with no upfront commitment.

After the successful beta launch of the service, ineedhits has been named as Keyword Intelligence's first affiliate partner.

Developed by Hitwise for small businesses, the Keyword Intelligence service provides search marketers with the ability to generate lists of quality keywords that have been proven to drive traffic to websites in specific industries.

Data included in the Keyword Intelligence product is a sub-set of the extensive search term data and search term analysis features available within the Hitwise Competitive Intelligence service. Both data sets are based on the actual Internet usage of more than 20 Million Internet users and how they successfully use keywords across 80 of the most popular search engines including Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

As more and more marketers use website search engine optimization and paid keyword campaigns to create brand awareness and generate sales, having detailed information on how people use search terms is critical. Marketers can use the data within Keyword Intelligence to identify missing search term opportunities they should capitalize on within their own campaigns.

"As a leading provider of search solutions for small and medium businesses, it is important we innovate and partner with leading organizations to bring new products to this market. Our large customer base and knowledge of the SEM market have enabled us to assist Hitwise with marketing the Keyword Intelligence product," said Jackie Shervington, CEO of ineedhits. "Our discussions with Hitwise began over 12 months ago and we are delighted to have been their beta test partner for this new product. We are very excited that we were able to give our customers the chance to be the first to use the Keyword Intelligence service, with our customers responding positively to this new offering."

In addition to participating in the Keyword Intelligence beta test phase, ineedhits has launched three new services in 2005. The most recent product innovations include Clicks4Sure, a fixed cost pay-per-click advertising package, and Optimizer Kit Plus, an entry-level optimization and submission package.

According to Gavin Appel, VP Search at Hitwise, "With more and more small businesses turning to search marketing to drive online sales, it is crucial they have high quality search term data to maximize the effectiveness of their search campaigns. Working closely with ineedhits on the Keyword Intelligence product has been invaluable as it has enabled us to test the offering amongst small businesses who are actively involved with search marketing."

The Clicks4Sure packages offer a predetermined amount of guaranteed qualified traffic per year for a set monthly fee, starting at $39.95 per month for 250 guaranteed qualified clicks annually.

For Clicks4Sure customers, ineedhits' search engine marketing experts review the website, select appropriate keywords, create powerful text ads, and set up and manage the entire paid search advertising campaign. Customers receive monthly reports by email, and are spared the hassles of optimizing and managing a complex paid search advertising program themselves.

ineedhits CEO, Jackie Shervington said, "Clicks4Sure is a logical addition to our product range and a further step towards offering small and medium size firms all the search engine marketing tools they need to easily boost their business online."
