Advertise your business online
Advertising on a single website has advantages, but if that website belongs to a network of similar websites, it dramatically increases your potential Return on Investment!
There are numerous websites in South Africa where accommodation establishments, restaurants, businesses and real estate agents can advertise any of their services.
These websites are usually one big website covering the whole of South Africa. The biggest flaw in this concept is that most of these websites have grown so big that it is now a huge undertaking in finding the information that you are looking for.
Furthermore, with a small handful of notable exceptions, a single website can never enjoy quite the same internet visibility as a whole network of websites, all closely linked together. This concept is also referred to as "spreading your net" and creates a host of potential places from which visitors can also access YOUR listing.
Over time, all the webstes in the group start ranking and becoming visible in search engines for various search terms (keywords), thus ever increasing the verall visibility of the whole network.
Introducing our range of Information Websites
Instead of - yet another - website offering advertising space to businesses, we created a concept with a difference.
Eventually, we plan to create a one-stop website for every town in South Africa!
Currently we already have more than 40 Info websites for various towns and cities in South Africa.
Each website covers a specific town and offers:
- general information
- history
- accommodation listings
- estate agent listings
- restaurant listings
- business directory
- classified ads
- events
|
Larger overall visibility
We currently have about 40 websites in our network already, most of which are already ranking well and are receiving regular visitors. Because our at, sleep and drink IS getting websites to rank in searh engines, we know that it is but a matter of time before this happens whenever we launch a new website. And the network is ever expanding with new websites being added.
If internet users can find our websites for different towns and cities over South Africa, and all of these websites are closely linked, it means that it besomes that much easier for somebody who searched for information about Nelspruit to also go and have a look at the Potchefstroom website - maybe they plan to send their child to university and want to find out more about the town.
In this way, the network aids your establishment's potential larger exposure, rather than hoping they find that one website where you currently advertise on, or plan to.
Extremely affordable advertising rates
Starting from as low as R240 per year for a business directory listing, and up to R350 per month for a side banner ad (also called a button ad) that displays on every page of every website in the network, we offer really low, competitive rates to make it worth your while to invest in placing an advert on one of our websites.
Different advertising options
There are 3 different advertising options available.
Side banner or Button advertisment (any business)
Listing page (For accommodation establishments, restaurants and estate agents)
Business directory listing (other businesses)
Equal top exposure on listing pages
Even if there are a long list of establishments on any of the listing pages (accommodation establishements, restaurants and estate agents), our unique algorithm on the listing pages ensures that every listing will get a turn to display at the top of the listing page.
No alphabetical listings or first come first serve listings!
Google map
Every website has a Google Map - Google Maps being one of the most effective ways of finding your way around the globe nowadays - and we mark the position of every establishement on the map.
(This is not a full business listing. We can do a full business listing for an additional fee should you so require.)
This makes it even easier for your business to be found by potential customers.
This benefit is available to all side banner advertisers, and advertisers on the listing pages.
Our websites are perfectly optimised for search enigne rankings
We started off as search engine marketers and specialists, making our living from the internet. Over and above the Info websites, we also have a wide range of other of our own websites, all aimed at generating different income streams.
One can only generate income from the internet if your website(s) are being found by people searching for your specific offerings - in other words ranking in search results.
As part of o5webdesign, we have also been creating websites for clients for a very long time, and the basis of every website we create is always that it must first and foremost be a potential marketing tool. Merely having yet another website is meaningless if it is invisible amongst the millions of other websites out there!
Current estimate is about 200 million websites (49 million alone being added in 2009), with Google indexing one trillion web pages every single day to deliver results on searches done!
When we developed the concept of our Info websites, we applied all this extensive knowledge into the basic design, to ensure that each website stands the best possible chance of ranking in search results. We also run extensive linking campaigns on all our websites, thus helping to ensure that, once a new website is launched, it is but a matter of time before it ranks and start being found and visited.
The end result is that you know you are advertising on a website that was designed by specialists in the field of search engine marketing, to offer you the best potental chance of a return on your investment.
Monthly report
The system automatically creates a monthly report to all side banner and listing page advertisers, to indicate clicks on your specific establishment as well as the amount of times the enquiry form on each listing has been submitted to you.
Link to your own website
Every advertiser can add a link to their own website. We do not provide a booking service, so the aim is to be able to refer interested website visitors to the business they need.
