The Inside Scoop
For many years Corporate America has trusted and relied
upon scores of so-called “SEO & PPC Experts” to help them
manage and improve their search engine rankings and PPC
return on investment. However, most have achieved marginal
success at best. This white paper, will conclusively
demonstrate that most Internet Marketing experts around the
world have performed, and continue to perform, ineffective,
time consuming and costly strategies that simply DO NOT
work! They trap their clients into multi-year contracts,
convincing them that a high “organic” search engine ranking
for their website/s could take well over a year to achieve.
And on the PPC side, they will often “plug and play & walk
away” depending solely on their software to get the job done
which is often a recipe for sponsored link disaster. While the
trusting client waits for tangible results, their budget often
runs dry and their patience wears thin. The reality is that
roughly 95% of these clients will never achieve effective
Internet Marketing results. For “Organic” SEO results,
success begins with a high, page 1 ranking on the major
search engines such as: Google™, Yahoo®, MSN®, etc…
focusing on the proper keywords that will yield the best
conversion ratio. For PPC Bid Mgt results, success begins
with clearly understanding the client’s business model and
target audience and then formulating that knowledge into a
campaign that yields a higher ROI based on the same or
lower monthly spend.
The reality is that
roughly 95% of
these clients will
never achieve
effective Internet
Marketing results.
SEO and PPC Services in Demand – The Market
SEO or Search Engine Optimization relates to “Organic Listings” while PPC relates to
“Sponsored Links”. A most effective internet marketing campaign will incorporate a good mix
of solid SEO along with proven, results driven PPC Bid Management. Every company that is
seeking to grow will need expert advice and management regarding both services and
ThinkBIG delivers at a very high level. Achieving solid, measurable results in these two areas
for most organizations has often been just out of reach for many reasons. This creates great
need and urgency for website owners to find a company that not only talks a good game but
delivers extraordinary results as well. The bottom line is that regardless of whether the client
prefers either one or both strategies to work in concert, ThinkBIG offers world-class,
innovative and proven techniques that simply get the job done in a fraction of the time of its
competition while maintaining a very competitive and cost effective pricing structure. In 2008
Google generated roughly $25B in Sponsored Link advertising revenue. The market is
obviously ripe and yielding fruit consistently. Every company wants to be more visible, to
rank higher than others, to overshadow its competitors, to be seen as a leader in its space, to
flat out, simply make more money than their competition. Internet Marketing is growing at a
rapid pace while most other marketing mediums are suffering. Internet Marketing forecasts are
strong and the industry is expected to enjoy steady growth throughout the foreseeable future.
Experts say that the market itself is still in its infancy with nowhere to go but up! The internet
may just be “THE” most important advertising medium the world has ever seen!
This creates great need and urgency for website owners
to find a company that not only talks a good game but
delivers extraordinary results as well..
The Significance of Google and How You Can Capitalize On It
Google is the “Big Dog”. They control almost 80% of
the search engine market while all other search engines
combined share the remaining 20%. If your website
appears on Google’s page 1, you’ve arrived. There are
only 10 Organic listings and up to 11 PPC results on
page 1 so every company that is vying for a particular
keyword phrase is competing for that small and most
sought after piece of real estate in the internet
marketing world. Both our SEO & PPC strategies are
geared to increasing client presence and visibility on
Google. A strong presence on MSN, Yahoo and AOL
are nice but nothing compares to Google. Our SEO
“Organic” strategy is based on a unique formula
created by ThinkBIG Managing Partner, Marc Arner.
This formula consists of 3 major components: Key
Word Analysis, On Page Search Engine Optimization
and Strategic Inbound Linking. The theory behind this
technique is driven by the fact that Google craves these
components and these components ONLY – Relevant,
keyword rich, consistent and current content in
addition to high quality inbound links - Period! We
feed the monster what it craves in the proper doses, we
satisfy its appetite and it generally responds favorably -
we deliver extraordinary, stable results within 3 to 6
months.
Both our SEO & PPC
strategies are geared to
increasing client
presence and visibility
on Google.
The Significance of Google and How You Can Capitalize On It
Continued…
Our objective for SEO “Organic” clients is to get them
highly ranked naturally and do it quicker and at a more
affordable price than the industry norm. A client whose
website arrives on Google’s page 1 “organically” will
be perceived as a leading authority in their industry
and is also likely to experience greater web traffic
which results in increased sales, revenue and profits.
Our PPC Bid Management team meets with 4 Google
team members each week to stay close to the ever
migrating, consistent changes Google introduces on a
regular basis. This means we always have our hand on
the pulse of this living, breathing industry and the
information we act upon comes straight from the
horse’s mouth which serves to keep us forever one step
ahead of our competition! Our objective for PPC
clients is to keep them highly visible while reducing
their monthly spend and increasing their ROI (Return
on Investment).

“Organic” clients is to

naturally and do it
quicker and at a more
affordable price than the
industry norm.
The TBS Proprietary Formula –Our Unfair Advantage
This is where the rubber meets the road. Whether it’s SEO or PPC, ThinkBIG enjoys an
unfair advantage over our competition which puts our clients in a very enviable position.
SEO – We combine the 3 major components listed above to create a very powerful
propulsion mechanism that moves our client’s websites upward on the search engines.
95% of our clients reach page 1 “Organic” status within 90 days and within 180 days they
can expect to be stabilized and anchored in those high positions.
1. The Keyword Analysis (KEI) - The first step in our SEO “Organic” strategy is the
foundation of any successful internet marketing campaign. A first rate keyword
analysis will help us determine which keyword phrase/s will bring the best results
for a particular client. The client and ThinkBIG will then come to a joint decision
regarding which keyword phrases to target based on expected traffic, ROI and
ranking feasibility. With the proper keywords in place, clients can expect quicker
than normal rankings and most importantly a high conversion rate which is usually
synonymous with greater sales numbers.
2. The On Page SEO – Relates to our internal process of preparing a website to be
more easily searched and indexed by Google. This often means making changes to
a website to make it more search engine friendly. We insure that the keywords we
are targeting are prominently displayed throughout the website so as Google’s
robots and spiders crawl the site from time to time in search of relevancy, they will
value the site more highly and therefore begin moving it forward in their search
results. This high level On Page SEO strategy will also encompass making any
corrections and repairs needed on the site to minimize any and all obstacles (Ex:
improper meta and title tags, broken pages and links etc…) that may hinder a high
ranking result.
The TBS Proprietary Formula –Our Unfair Advantage
Continued…
3. Strategic Inbound Linking (Our Network) – “Link Juice/Pass Through Ratio” –
This is the single most important component in Google’s Algorithm (fancy math
formula) which determines where a website appears within the “Organic” search
results. This component of our strategy is designed to increase the perceived value
of a client’s website in the eyes of Google. We control/own a worldwide network of
highly rated blogs, websites and social bookmark profiles that will steer or point
high quality inbound links to the client’s website every month. This is our “Unfair
Advantage”, as it relates to SEO. The function of our network, is to hyperlink or
point the chosen keyword phrases to the client’s website in an effort to consistently
deliver high quality, essential one way links. A high quality link is viewed
favorably by Google as a “vote” and or “endorsement” of the client’s website. This
is referred to throughout the industry as “Passing Link Juice”. Our team of
professional writers will consistently write new, relevant content in our in house
blogs and social bookmarks that relate to the clients business and industry. Often
referred to as Blog and Social Marketing, this activity goes to the heart of feeding
Google & the others what they crave – Relevant, keyword rich, consistent and
current content about the subject matter the client seeks to be recognized for. These
blog articles and social bookmarks will contain the chosen keyword phrases which
are hyperlinked either back to the client’s main website and or dispersed throughout
other social internet mediums in an effort to create a diversified yet powerful and
consistent “buzz” about the client’s website..
Superior Ranking Results and Customer Service
SEO
Our unique SEO methodology has shown unprecedented results, reaching Google’s page 1
for most clients within 90 days. We can expect high organic rankings to fully stabilize
within 3 to 6 months. This type of result outperforms most competitors by at least 2 to 1
yet our pricing is very affordable.
PPC
Here we also enjoy an “Unfair Advantage” - Our world-class PPC Bid Mgt strategy is
designed to reduce a client’s monthly expenditure on Google and the other search engines
for Sponsored Link advertising while increasing its ROI. We meet with 4 Google team
members each week. We use state of the art proprietary software but our focus is on 60%
human intervention which is where most of our competitors fall short. We manage the
campaign in a granular fashion to be sure that the clients ads are in the right position/s,
visible at the optimum times, taking advantage of which cities, states, regions are ringing
the register best for the client because at the end of the day, it is all about Conversion Ratio
and ROI. This granular attention to detail has allowed ThinkBIG to enjoy a 95% client
retention rate for PPC Bid Mgt. Our pricing is on a Flat Fee basis rather than on a
percentage of the client’s monthly spend. So unlike most of our competitors we are not
motivated to increase the clients spending in fact, it’s quite the opposite. We are always
striving to reduce the client’s monthly spend which is why the client is usually very happy
with our process. Our Mgt fees are very affordable for smaller campaigns. For companies
with a more aggressive approach these fees will rise accordingly but remain very
competitive. Our customer service is top rated. Each client is put on either a weekly or
monthly set schedule to discuss the intricacies of the campaign to insure that we are
always working efficiently toward achieving optimum success.
The Facts While 85% of all new website visitors find the product
or service they are looking for through the use of a
search engine such as Google™, only 3 to 5% of all
websites are properly optimized to take advantage of
the awesome power of the search engines. Most
websites are as effective a marketing tool as having a
billboard on the moon because no one can find them
using the major search engines. A website is generally
created to increase profits and productivity, yet few
sites enjoy this result. When using a search engine,
people expect to find what they’re looking for on the
first or second page mostly within the organic listings.
Hence, if your company’s website is not listed on page
one of a major search engine organically and or you do
not have a results oriented PPC Bid Mgt campaign in
place, you truly have no chance and should not expect
to compete in today’s global Internet Market.
A website is
generally created to
increase profits and
productivity, yet
few sites enjoy this
result.

Website Optimization Firm Creates More Website Traffic
PR NEWSWIRE Posted: 2007-07-05 10:16:10
NEW YORK, July 5 /PRNewswire/ -- ThinkBIGSites.com has taken the orthodox SEO market and turned it on its proverbial head. In fact, Think Big has its so-called competition scratching their collective head trying to figure out what they're doing. Most SEO companies are using typical SEO methods that take a year or more to help a client achieve high search engine rankings. Think Big is a website optimization firm on the leading edge using new Web 2.0 techniques such as social networking, blog marketing, video blogging and strategic inbound linking which is literally showing many of their client's high search engine rankings within just 90 days. The end result of this unique strategy is clearly more website traffic and visibility, but that's just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Think Big cannot be bunched in with all the SEO firms out there because they are by no means a typical SEO firm. What they are doing however, is clearly leading the pack in this new era of Web 2.0 internet marketing, web advertising and brand name recognition and awareness. They are on the cutting edge of a brand new genre where expert internet marketing and brand name enhancement just so happen to culminate in their clients websites being quickly noticed by the search engines. This unique strategy of internet marketing often results in unprecedented, very high and very quick search engine ranking results for clients. Any company with a website that wants to increase business and recognition is always looking for new strategies to generate more website traffic which in turn will create more visibility, sales, revenues and profits. What's more is that Think Big's approach has been getting clients highly ranked on the major search engines organically as opposed to the client paying Google , Yahoo and or MSN for that lofty status. A high organic listing has been proven through multiple studies to be more effective and beneficial than paying the search engines for a sponsored link position using a pay per click methodology. In fact, a recent Penn State study showed that the eyes of over 80% of those involved in the research gravitated to an organic listing first while only 6% chose to click first on a sponsored link. Another important benefit of a highly ranked organic listing is that the consumer tends to perceive those companies listed organically as being the leading authorities in their market space which of course is invaluable and highly sought after by any company in a growth mode. The bottom line is that a good website optimization firm like ThinkBigSites.com will not only create more website traffic for your organization but they will also help you to brand your company as the leader in your industry.
