The truth is that on-line marketing works, but only if sufficient time and resources are spent attracting customers to your Web site on an on-going basis. At Amber Innovation we deliver innovative traffic building and Internet marketing programs using a range of techniques that get your Web site seen and known by the appropriate audience. These target programs includes services such as:

Search Engine Optimisation

Amber Innovation understands the complex practices that influence search engine listings and we are very proud of our results in this area. The need for good search engine rankings is undeniable, 85% of Web users rely on search engines to locate information. If your site is not listed - you will lose visitors to the competition!

Strategic Linking

Amber Innovation can negotiate free or paid links from other Web sites to your own. The purpose of this is twofold. Firstly it will bring traffic to your site from wherever you place your link, secondly the more links pointing to and from your site, the higher you are ranked with the major search engines. We can also locate and submit your site to specialist industry related directories. These links can prove invaluable in driving highly targeted, relevant traffic to your site.

Newsgroups

Newsgroups are the Internet's bulletin boards. People from all walks of life post messages in thousands of newsgroups, exchanging knowledge, ideas, opinions, and advice on countless topics: sports, fashion, job hunting, beer - you name it. Amber Innovation can locate the appropriate newsgroups relevant to your market sector and post messages to a highly targeted audience.

Affiliate Programs

Essentially, a retailer's affiliate program pays a commission to other sites whose links to the retailer result in an actual sale. The goal is to build a network of affiliates who have a financial stake in promoting your site. Amber Innovation can recommend and set up an appropriate affiliate programme to manage your needs.

"Today, the little guy has an unfair advantage over big business. The internet has levelled the playing field. Prime location isn't important, a big marketing budget isn't necessary. Easy-to-use, easy-to-afford technology enables the small business to appear as large, as expert and as important as the giants. The real competition is increasingly about speed, flexibility and personal attention . "

"As I worked with many small business clients I saw a pattern. The business owner or manager knew little about their website, but a lot about the business. The web designer or technical guru knew a lot about the website, but little about the business"

"Last year at this time there was really no such thing as "local search." Fast forward twelve months and local is one of the hottest topics in search. Search localisation is simultaneously the focus of aggressive attention and effort at Google, Yahoo!/Overture, AOL and MSN, among others ."
