Smart Elf strongly recommends using Overture to boost your website traffic, especially in the early going. Overture enables you to bid for specific keywords that are pertinent to your business so that you can leap frog the competion in major search engines thereby driving targeted traffic to your website for just pennies per click-thru.

There is no easier, quicker, more cost effective way to get your online business jump-started!

List Your Site with Overture and appear on the top of search results at leading sites like Yahoo!, Lycos, Alta Vista, and MSN!

Similiar to Overture, Find What is the new kid on the block but gaining steadily. The advantage to joining this program is that the bids for keywords are generally much lower than Overture, starting at just a penny! The minimum bid will go up to 5 cents by August 31, so get in now and lock in at the lower rates! Click on the ad to the left and get an extra $5.00 when you sign up.

This program lets you bid on keywords at Google. Your ad will appear in a box on the right side of the Google results page for the keywords you have selected -- which is not really as nice or as helpful as the way your results will be integrated when using the Overture or Find What programs (above). Also, you get disabled if your click-thru rate falls below 2% which can be very aggravating. You pay on a per-click-thru basis just like the Overture and Find What programs. Google AdWords now appear on AOL, Earthlink and Ask Jeeves as well as the Google website.
