New Paid Search Product from Channel Intelligence and Commerce360 Improves Pay-Per-Click Performance for Retailers
Orlando, FL, May 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Channel Intelligence (CI), an industry leader in Web-initiated commerce solutions, and Commerce360, a software-based search marketing company, have teamed up to offer SellCast™ Paid Search Plus 1 to help retailers achieve more profitability from their paid search ads on Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, and MSN AdCenter. The new service uses advanced algorithms and continuous management techniques to manage and optimize the critical elements of a campaign to improve paid search performance.
With the rising cost of pay-per-click (PPC) based programs retailers, who typically rely on paid search for as much as 40 percent of their marketing budget, are searching for ways to increase the return on ad spend for this channel. CI and Commerce360 have combined industry-leading product optimization, click analysis and program management with state-of-the-art contextual query analysis to provide retailers with a new way to effectively use paid search in the new service SellCast™ Paid Search Plus.
“We look at paid search as Response Management, not advertising,” explains Lanny Tucker Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CI. “This perspective lets us learn from the searchers themselves how to improve campaign elements. CI and Commerce360 have similar fundamental data methodologies that make this partnership an ideal fit. Our mutual technologies are complementary and combined together; our offering is unique compared to other solutions in the marketplace today that focus on bidding strategies to reach positive returns.”
Explains Michael Smalls, Executive Vice President for Commerce360, “Our proprietary technology platform changes the way paid search campaigns are managed by applying advanced algorithms and testing methodologies to data of unparalleled depth and accuracy. This pioneering platform allows paid search advertisers to discover the combination of the right keywords, campaign organization, bids, text-ads and targeted landing pages to deliver visitors who convert to improve results.”
Avoiding the pitfalls of the set-it-and-forget-it approach, SellCast™ Paid Search Plus accounts are managed by a multi-disciplinary team that reviews campaign strategy monthly and analyzes performance using CI’s TrueTag technology. The resulting strategy is translated into a set of tasks that are completed by the appropriate search practitioner, and progress is tracked by the team daily for fine-tuning. This ensures activities are continually moving toward the client’s performance goals.
SellCast™ Paid Search Plus is a new service available through CI’s SellCast™ Retailer Solutions, a set of tools designed to maximize performance for retailers using online marketing channels such as shopping engines, online marketplaces, paid search and affiliates.
