Search Engine Challenge
posted in Affiliate Marketing |
As you are probably aware a few of today’s larger search engines have historically used sponsored listings or back fill results from other sources, and simply branded in their own image msn, yahoo & ask jeeves are to name but a few.
A small, non time consuming, un-innovative side project we are embarking on is to reproduce something similar utilising what is currently available out there, to offer user functionality which is fairly similar to any other search engine whereby some search engines look familiar in the way results are displayed, together with similar userability.
However we have a few interesting innovative ideas up our sleeves on how to monetise those results more effectively, something we have trialled with existing sites with some success without too much effort. We are confident this little twist will reap dividends.
We have absolutely no delusions of grandeur, but our initial target is to gain 10k (10,000) UV’s (Unique Visitors) a day by end of Quarter 1 rising to 100k UV’s by year end. We feel this would be easily achievable & reward us with a nice modest income to supplement what we already earn.
Initially we will be starting with the UK market & duplicating the formula to other english speaking nations such as the US. Other territories will be rolled out once we are satisfied with the results, but cross promotion will assist in ski ramping the sites. One of our main focuses will be to ensure that results displayed are demographically clean & relevant to a UV’s country with geo-targeting to assist this both from a users & advertisers perspective.
