- Bid on International Listings
International Listings are STONEDIVER search listings in the top 3 positions which provide advertisers with access to many of the Internet's users from some of the International sites on the Web. So every time you bid for these positions, you are also featured on the Web's International sites.
- Bid on as many search terms as possible and stil relevant to your
site
We've found that advertisers who bid on a range of lot of relevant terms (especially 20 or more) experience success in reaching potential customers on STONEDIVER.
- Include the search term in the title and description to maximize your
clickthroughs
We did a recent study and found that listings that include the search term in both the title and description have a higher clickthrough rate (more than 44% higher on average) than those that don't! Pretty amazing! It just goes to show you that including your search term in the title and description can really pay off. And, over 44% more clickthroughs is just the average. We've seen clickthrough rates double and even triple when advertisers switched from generic to specific titles and descriptions.
- Bid higher and often on each search listing
Why? The higher you bid, the higher your listing will appear in the results. Higher ranking almost guarantees more exposure (and more clicks). In fact, International Listings (the top 5 positions) get more than 2 times the number of searches as Classic Listings (positions 6-25). When you sign up, make sure your listings have high placement in the search results. After signing up, log into your account and take advantage of managing your bids.
- Bid on Relevant Search Terms
Relevancy is our rule. It's good for our advertisers, because you're guaranteed targeted traffic, and it's good for our consumers, because they find what they're looking for quickly and easily. Relevance means that the search term, search listing (titles and descriptions) and the content of your site all have to be relevant to one another. We define relevance as a site containing real, apparent content that specifically relates to its search terms. The search terms you request should reflect what consumers will find on your site, and your titles and descriptions should communicate to them why your site is a good match for their search.
- Keep your account active
If you let your account die, you lose your seniority in cases of tie bids.
- Sign up for a Payment Plan
STONEDIVER has several payment plans that are designed to help you manage your account more easily and effectively. For the greatest amount of traffic, try our Non-Stop Traffic Plan, which keeps your listings online all the time, and you authorize STONEDIVER to charge your credit card when your account balance is low. Or if you're watching your budget closely, choose between either our Fixed Budget Plan (where you determine a monthly budget you are willing to spend and we'll keep you online until your account balance reaches that amount), or our Prepay Deposit Plan (where you choose when to add money to your account). Choose the
payment plan that's right for your
business!
- Make your description
Write your descriptions so that people know what they would find if they clicked through to your site. Letting searchers know exactly what your site offers, and mentioning your search term increases your potential to get clickthroughs.
- Choose a range of search terms (both broad and narrow) that are relevant to your
site
You want to make sure your site is seen by the group of people who are most interested in what you're offering, so choose a variety of relevant terms. Likewise, don't choose only very narrow terms people might miss your
listing.
- Submit the URL that links consumers to the correct
page
Whenever possible, point consumers to the specific page on your site that has the information they request. This means submitting the best URL for each search term you select.
