![]() ![]() Paid inclusion managementPaid inclusion is a powerful, critical component of a comprehensive search engine marketing campaign. With paid inclusion, merchants pay a fee to have the content of a web site included in the editorial listings of a search engine and have the content refreshed every 24 to 48 hours. Paid inclusion does not guarantee that the pages will appear in a particular position within the search results. This means that all content submitted through paid inclusion must be optimized to have a chance to appear in the top positions.Paid inclusion comes in three varieties: directory inclusion, URL inclusion and trusted feed inclusion. With directory inclusion online merchants pay an annual fee to have their web site reviewed by a human editor for inclusion into the directory under the category of their choice. Yahoo! and Business.com are two directories that currently offer a paid inclusion program. URL inclusion is ideal for owners of small web sites. It involves the submission of individual web pages for guaranteed indexing into the search engine database. Following payment of an annual fee per URL, the search engine crawler visits and spiders the pages frequently (typically every 48 hours). Trusted feed paid inclusion is the most efficient and cost effective way for large sites to get their products listed in the most popular search engines. This service is unique in that it enables merchants to submit more than 250 URLs directly to a search engine database through a XML data feed. Rather than have the search engine crawler extract the information from a static or dynamically generated web page, the trusted feed information is created through a database capture from the web site database and includes elements such as URL, title, description, keywords, and body content exported into an XML data file. Often, the raw data in a trusted feed requires verification and optimization. Titles may not be unique or may be poorly formatted for optimal placement and quality. Trusted feed-based paid inclusion is an effective search engine marketing tool for database-driven web sites with large product listings or a high volume of product or service content. Examples include catalog retailers, large multi-channel stocking retailers, business-to-business manufacturers and distributors. Only trusted feed paid inclusion combines all the benefits of content control with freshness and coverage. Benefits of Trusted Feed Paid Inclusion Paid inclusion provides some distinct advantage over the standard search engine optimization and submission process. Reduced Optimization Time-line Paid inclusion produces optimization results much faster than standard free submission by reduces the initial indexing, optimization and refresh times. Deep Spidering Search engine spiders may only spider a limited number of pages from web sites, whether they are dynamic or static. Paid inclusion ensures that all critical specified content of a web site, including content that gets produced dynamically, will get spidered and indexed in the search engine database. Content Control Paid inclusion allows control over the content of unique page titles and descriptions, an important benefit that often defines the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful campaign. Trusted feed paid inclusion gives the merchant control over what content gets indexed and the ability to edit or remove poorly performing URL’s. In addition, most paid inclusion services provide a 48-hour content refresh cycles to keep paid inclusion content up-to-date.
