Paying
for Targeted Traffic with Goto and Google
Article by Merle
Everyone
wants to be listed in the top 10 of the search engines, but the reality is that
with millions of Web sites vying for the same ten spots, it just "ain't gonna
happen." You'd probably stand a better chance at winning the lottery.Many
search engines have moved away from the "free" submission model onto
one that requires up front payment. This does not guarantee you any kind of placement;
just that your site will be reviewed and listed. So what if it comes up 100,878,989
on the search results page? It's listed.
Well, I have a real problem with
that. Why should I pay $200.00 for something that's been free for years when my
site may never be found in the first place? If you're like me, when you pay out
good money for something, you want to see some results.
There are other
search engines like Google and Goto who charge a fee but with both of them you're
paying for *placement*, not just a listing. That's OK in my book. At least I'll
get some traffic for my hard earned dollar.
Both Google and Goto should
be utilized by any online entrepreneur looking for results. Let's take a look
at both of them and what's involved in opening an
account with them.
