  11. How LinkDriver Can Help You • Your main goal: Drive more traffic to your Web site • The main source of Web traffic: Web users find 80% of sites via search engines • Does the ‘Hole’ in search engines hurt you? • Search engine spiders usually cannotfind products in dynamic databases • Thus the ‘crown jewels’ of most dynamic Web sites are not in the search engines! • LinkDriver drives traffic directly to your company’s individual product pages • LinkDriver doesn’t ‘fool’ the search engines • Avoids practices frowned on by search engines • Helps them find your key dynamic pages A search spider’s best friend! Does search ‘Hole’ hurt you? Link directly to product pages Case study: It really works! How LinkDriver modules work Who should buy LinkDriver?

  12. How LinkDriver Can Help You • By driving links into the all-important search engines: • New links (to key elements in a dynamic site’s database) • Additional links (via doorway pages you create easily) • Simplified links (by shortening URLs dynamically) • Meaningful links (by sharpening page descriptions, tags) Accomplish all thiswithout any programming!

  13. How LinkDriver Can Help You • By drivingnew links into the all-important search engines because: • The key elements of dynamic Web sites are buried in databases • Search engine spiders usually can’t find these pages • Thus key elements in dynamic Web sites are not in search engines • LinkDriver “bridges the gap” by helping spiders find these pages • Once you’ve taught LinkDriver how to find these key products, additional products added to the database are automatically linked A search spider’s best friend!

  14. How LinkDriver Can Help You • By drivingadditional links into the search engines: • The more search engine links to your pages, the better your chances of being found. • After creating new links to your key product pages, create additional links via new “doorway” pages -- without any programming. • Package and group your products in all the ways your customers may search for them. • Example: • A hotel chain first uses LinkDriver to create new links to each hotel property in the database of its site:http://www.hotelchain.com/FL/miami • Then the chain creates additional doorway pages to resonate with users seeking only hotels with meeting space, family plans, pets, etc. For example:http://www.hotelchain.com/FL/miami/meetings A search spider’s best friend!

  15. How LinkDriver Can Help You • By driving simplified links into the search engines: • Many links are very long and not “user friendly” • Create simplified links by shortening URLs • Create these simplified links dynamically (no programming or other changes required) • Easier for both computer and humans to read • People often look at a URL to see if it relates to the search they have performed – a simple obvious one will attract more clicks. • Example: • This is a typical URL leading to a hotel property contained in the site’s dynamic database (it contains a query string): http://www.hotelchain.com/res/search.asp?sIdt=propid&iid=123 • Then with LinkDriver, it could appear as: http://www.hotelchain.com/santabarbara A search spider’s best friend!
