APlus.net Launches New Service

APlus, a provider of hosting solutions, announced today that they have launched a new marketing service that will assist customers in attaining top slots in popular search engines. The service is called Search Engine Booster and is geared towards business customers looking to increase their web site traffic and improve their current search rankings.

“Search engine marketing is a great way for small companies to gain exposure and drive quality traffic to their Web sites,” says Ivan Vachovsky, CEO of Aplus. “Large companies generally have a large marketing budget and can utilize all types of expensive marketing methods – TV, radio, print, etc. Small companies, however, must achieve effective marketing with a small budget. Focusing on search engine marketing is the key, as research shows that over 85 percent of Web site traffic comes from search engines. Since our customer base consists mainly of small businesses, we decided to focus on an offering that would enable our customers to take advantage of the power of the Web.”

The program is priced at $19.95 per month and there is a sign-up fee of $245.
