eZanga.com Helps Bedco Mobility Grow Business

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Every business aims to reduce costs and increase profit, but not many are able to find the right formula to attain that goal.

eZanga client Bedco Mobility has figured out one way to do it, however. And in About.com’s ‘Entrepreneurs’ feature this week, the accessibility and mobility company made no bones about giving some of the credit for its recent success to its successful search engine marketing campaign with eZanga.com.

Bedco Sales Manager Tim Pelton took on the questions from About.com and told the story of how eZanga.com was helping to turn Bedco Mobility into even more of a household name.

“One of the ways we’re growing our business through technology is by utilizing search engine marketing, which makes us more visible on the Web. Prior to advertising online, we advertised exclusively in local newspapers and Yellow Pages, with no online representation other than our web site. Since our in-house staff does not know much about Internet marketing, we hired search engine marketing company eZanga to run the campaign. After just four months of running the campaign, our lead generation more than doubled.”

View the rest of the article at About.com for more on Bedco and eZanga.com’s partnership and why it has changed the way the company thinks about marketing in today’s landscape.

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

15 billion searches were performed in January according to the newest data from comScore, a 3 percent increase from December. With the search industry continuing to soar, websites like Digital Media Buzz are providing a platform for up-and-coming search engines like eZanga.com to get its name out.

In an article published Wednesday titled A Mind of its Own: Search Engine Technology Ever Pervasive, author James Zipadelli explores some of search’s technologies and what some companies are doing to try to stay ahead of the curve. eZanga CEO Rich Kahn talked about what his company has in store as it prepares to redesign its search engine in 2010.

“The redesign allows eZanga.com to “significantly increase the number of sources we pull information from, improve our relevancy algorithm so that our results will be more accurate to the queries performed by our users [and] designing new technologies, that are not used by any other search engine at present, that will improve how we display our results to users in a way that will be more useful to our users,” Kahn says.”

eZanga’s ‘Performance’ Noted in Publication

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Revenue Performance, a magazine that features a sharp and in-depth look at the online marketing industry, featured one of eZanga’s own Account Managers, Shane Donnelly, in its most recent issue in an article titled “Seasonal Sunshine” by Susan Kuchinskas.

In the article, Donnelly lends his take on how search engines such as eZanga.com can be a helpful outlet for affiliates looking to capitalize on search engine marketing during the holiday season.

“(Major marketers) dominate the market and drive cost-per-click so high that affiliates can’t compete anymore, even for what they thought was an obscure keyword,” he said. “They have teams of people looking for those same obscure keywords. During the holidays, when you can’t afford the cost-per-click on Yahoo, Google or MSN, second-tier search engines are the place to go.”

Blue Haven Pools Selects eZanga to run SEM campaign.

Monday, January 25th, 2010

eZanga has been selected by the nation’s number one pool company, Blue Haven Pools, to implement and oversee a search engine marketing campaign.

With the new deal, Blue Haven looks to use eZanga to help increase leads and phone calls leading to a boost in the Pool giant’s overall sales.

“We are excited to be representing the largest pool company in the nation,” said Rich Kahn, CEO of eZanga. “Having worked with other companies in the industry, we know that our SEM campaign will significantly increase awareness of Blue Haven’s Web site, which will impact their sales positively.”

Rich Kahn Weighs In On 2010 Search Predictions

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

SearchEngineWatch.com kicked off the new year with an article outlining 5 bold predictions on what lies ahead for the search industry in 2010.

On top of offering up a forecast for the future, SearchEngineWatch enlisted the help of a few industry experts to give their opinion on how likely or unlikely those predictions were to coming true. One of those experts was eZanga founder and CEO Rich Kahn.

Among Kahn’s comments included an opinion on whether or not Google will expand or perhaps even re-focus its brand:

“I don’t think it’s necessary for Google to officially re-brand itself as a software company,” he said. “Many companies that have changed their concept have usually been met with resistance. Ask.com is an example of this, when Ask catered to answering questions, they were very popular among women, which is a great demographic to support. As they continued to change their focus away from what made them popular, they started to lose their loyal audience and that, in the end, has only hurt them.

People use Google for certain reasons, and those reasons are why their popularity is so high…changing that could very well affect their popularity. However, they should continue to grown and offer new products, but should not change their primary focus. Those that ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.”

On the subject of if Google will get it with an anti-trust suit in 2010, Rich replied:

“Antitrust issues always pop up for large companies, I guess it is just the nature of the beast. It’s a sign that your company has reached an elite level. There are rules that all of us must abide by, so as long as they follow those rules, then it will just be a formality, almost a right of passage.”
