IMPORTANT SEARCH ENGINE UPDATE!! WOW! Some big changes are occurring in the search engine world. Yahoo is the #1 search engine in the world. Once your website is listed in Yahoo you can almost guarantee recurring traffic from their search directory. One of the secondary benefits of your placement in Yahoo is that it provides you with GREAT link popularity. Advanced Access has always had wonderful success in helping our clients sites become listed in Yahoo. Why? Because we have a team whose SOLE PURPOSE was to submit your website to that particular search directory. Yahoo employs actual humans who will review websites all day. At NO CHARGE to you, we submitted our clients' websites to Yahoo and they were reviewed by their editors for listing in their directory. Yahoo receives thousands of submissions per day for processing. Many of the submissions were thrown out and not even considered. The ones that WERE reviewed underwent a harsh judging system. Advanced Access has had great success in getting client websites into the system because we KNEW what Yahoo was looking for. Effective immediately, Yahoo has CHANGED their system, and is now charging real estate websites a $299.00 fee to even be considered for listing in their directory. The service is entitled Yahoo! Express, the 7-Business-Day Guarantee, which is required for all commercial websites. For more information, please click here. add.yahoo.com/fast/add?208797+Local As you can see Real Estate is now included in their 'Commercial' Categories. Real Estate - includes agents, brokers, directories, loans, and associated services. Please keep in mind that payment of the $299.00 does not automatically guarantee inclusion in the Yahoo! directory. As with all sites suggested to Yahoo, final judgment remains solely with Yahoo! editors. Yahoo's Guarantee: 1. All Yahoo! Express submissions will be
evaluated within seven business days. How does this affect MY Website? If you would like your website to be INCLUDED in the Yahoo directory, it is now necessary to pay for this service. Please contact me and we can evaluate your website to ensure you have everything necessary to be accepted for a Yahoo! listing. The Yahoo editors like to see certain elements in your site, such as pictures, bio's, favorite links, and most importantly PROPERTY LISTINGS. If you do not have listings, add in your SOLD properties. All pages of your site must be filled in to be accepted for listing. Call me today, and we will go over the procedures! Important Note: If your website is already listed in Yahoo.com, it is not necessary for you to pay the $299.00 for inclusion in their directory. We apologize for this major change in the protocol for inclusion in the Yahoo! directory. Unfortunately we have no control over their policies, and we did not receive any advance notice of this change. It is our primary goal to keep you informed of news in the world of the Internet, Search Engines and more. How to be #1 in Yahoo Are you not content to just be included in the Yahoo directory? Do you want to make sure you are #1 in the best directory in the world? We have a solution! Overture (formerly GoTo) has signed an agreement to become the Pay-For-Performance™ search provider to Yahoo!'s millions of users. Users who conduct searches at www.yahoo.com will see search results that include Overture's top three search listings at the top of the page and an additional two Overture listings at the bottom of the page. Our Marketing Tip last June went over the basics of what Overture (formerly GoTo) can do for YOU!! Read more about it: www.advancedaccess.com/marketing/marketing49.htm Advanced Access |
