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.”

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

For years now, eZanga.com has been one of the premier metasearch engines on the web.

Others may wonder how exactly the relationship between the two works and why it generates such favorable results.

Thursday, Adotas.com, a website which focuses on the businesses of online advertising and media, featured a commentary on metasearch by eZanga.com founder and CEO Rich Kahn which aims to answer all questions. Rich lends his near two decades worth of expertise on the industry in his piece entitled “The Nuts and Bolts of Metasearch Engines.”

PPC Search Survey Results Include eZanga

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

PPC Hero, a web site devoted to all of the latest on pay-per-click advertising, recently conducted a survey looking to find the best second tier PPC search engines.

The survey asked over 100 users “Which second tier search engine produced the best results for you?” and eZanga.com turned up in the results, garnering 1 percent of the vote as one of just seven search engines named in the responses.

The report, which can be read here, also includes a chart depicting the results.

“To generate supplemental traffic, leads, and revenue, these search engines can be a useful resource (if managed and optimized properly),” it reads. “Also, diversifying your search marketing efforts can help stabilize your performance just in case you should incur any fluctuations in the “big 3.” And for certain advertisers, these search engines may even work just as well as Google (gasp!). This is some food for thought when creating a strategy to expand your PPC efforts beyond Google, Yahoo or MSN.”

  

Search Ad Spending On The Rise

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Reports this week revealed that search advertising spending is steadily increasing in 2009, nearly matching the spending levels from a year ago.

Search marketing agencies such as Search Ignite and Efficient Frontier disclosed data that showed their clients’ spending had increased to between 5 and 10 percent from second quarter results. Year-over-year spending is still down nearly 5 percent, according to Efficient Frontier.

That trend has been witnessed at eZanga, where search spending has increased by 70 percent from last year.

The news brings a great deal of hope to the search marketing industry after the economic recession made an impact in spending over the last year. Reports from eWeekEurope, ClickZ and Advertising Age give some of the details about the recent rise in ad spending and what it could mean for the immediate future of search marketing as a promising fourth quarter begins.

  

Is Multi-Platform Advertising The Way To Go?

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Online Advertising has become the go-to way to advertise in recent years. But some businesses may not be aware of just how many different ways they can reach customers on the web to promote their products and services. Not only that, some may not know which of those ways is the best way to get a better Return on Investment.

A new article at BizReport.com aims to show businesses that instead of choosing between SEM and Display advertising, it just might be beneficial to combine the two to get the necessary results. “Why you should consider a multi-platform approach” by Kristina Knight points out that the two work well together and eZanga CEO Rich Kahn was interviewed to help explain why:

“Display ads have always been high on branding but haven’t been high on conversions. Search has been high on conversions but not on branding. When you combine the two, they are very powerful,” Kahn said. “It all comes down to the budget of the customer.”

Read the article in its entirety at BizReport.com for more on what Kahn has to say about combining multiple advertising platforms and why it is a favorable option in a struggling economy.

Rich Kahn Lends Opinion to SEO vs. SEM Debate

Monday, September 14th, 2009

eZanga founder and CEO Rich Kahn is back in the news. Kahn once again joins the debate on which online marketing strategy gets the best results for businesses – SEO or SEM.

In an article published by Target Marketing Magazine Senior Editor Heather Fletcher, Kahn is one of three online advertising experts to lend his opinion to the often-debated topic.

From the article:

“”If you put up a campaign with search engine marketing, you can put up a bunch of tests, a bunch of different campaigns, test them all—and you can do that all in the first day,” Kahn says. As for the most obvious ranking aspects, he adds, SEM always ends up with the top rankings, no matter how high the SEO results are. And beyond that, paid search has access to more than Google.com. Google teams with other sites, so paid search customers also have access to those sites, Kahn says.”

Kahn goes on to talk about how personal experiences through eZanga help lend credence to this view, which you can read in the full article here.

The Targeting Marketing Magazine website garners close to 26,500 visitors monthly.
