Does it work?

Absolutely. We have proven results of getting placements in the top ten and top twenty under many keywords which bring up hundreds of thousands of matches in the top engines. While it is not always successful for certain super popular topics (like "toys" or "art") — because thousands of other Websites are trying to hit that same top ten spot — we have a better than 80% success rate.

Using our proprietary ContextEngine™ technology, we are able to build content that is "in context" to how you want to be found, without attempting to "trick" a search engine system with mirror sites, custom entry pages, or other methods that simply don't work.

What else is included?

Not at all. Another aspect of this "higher level" of Website promotion service from Neotrope, is that we hand-deliver your site to various databases which now power a majority of the top search engines and which cannot be submitted to through an automated service like DotComMojo™ (or other competing services). This special submission process must be done by hand, and experience plays a part in getting the best results.

How much does Neotrope's DotSorcerer™ service cost?

DotSorcerer™ Basic Package starts at $499 and includes necessary contextual content, uploading via FTP to your Website (unless you have a high security environment, in which case we would work with your webmaster), and submission of our pages to the top search engines. We also use an additional method of promotion which we don't disclose except to our clients, which helps these pages get a much higher ranking than they could otherwise.

DotSorcerer™ Basic Plus Package starts at $599 and includes the features above, plus the manual submission by hand to major databases. This package is recommended for all business Websites because the databases we submit to also feed numerous other second-tier search engines, many of whom do not allow direct submission without a "review fee." By submitting to these special databases, we bypass the need for paying fees to be listed. This service level now includes guaranteed weekly spidering of your entire site each week for 12 months by the Inktomi database.

DotSorcerer™ Expert Package starts at $699 and includes the features above, plus modification (as needed) of your existing Website pages and content to conform to search engine requirements. This includes rebuilding pages, META tags, and custom tags we've developed during our 7+ years of search engine optimization. This is our most popular business-level offering, and is affordable in the context of the results versus placing print, radio, or other traditional media advertising.

Tracking Option: If your Web server (or virtual hosting plan) does not include extensive tracking options — such as where your traffic is coming from — you can optionally subscribe to our WebTrends Remote service for $25 per month, where we provide extensive graphical reporting of your DotSorcerer™ results. This reporting actually shows where traffic is coming from to your site by keyword, phrase, search engine, and much more.

There are "companies" on the Web which offer similar services for less money, but which simply use a poor quality off-the-shelf site submission product which many search engines now know how to filter (ignore). We use proprietary methods developed over the course of watching the Web grow from 4,000 domains when we started to over 4-Million today. In this instance, you do get what you pay for.

Pricing will be higher for Website owners who desire optimization and ranking for a large number of keywords and phrases.

Is there any guarantee to the service?

Yes. We guarantee substantially higher placements than through our basic DotComMojo™ — or any other — basic search engine submission service. You should be aware that these higher rankings tend to only be valid for a given period, depending on popularity of topics, because other sites are vying for the same higher ranking through similar and different methods. To maintain high rankings month after month, you would need to consider our Alchemy Positioning™ ongoing expert services.

Even if your ranking level "falls off" over the first 2-6 months, you will still be ranked much higher under your chosen topics than the majority of sites on the Internet. For example, if your initial successful ranking is #4 out of 251,000, it might drop to #7 out of 550,000 a year later. For a hotly contested keyword, if you get a top ten rank, 6 months later it could be in the top twenty. In any case, these kinds of "fall offs" are still highly desirable relative to being listed lower than the top 200. Anything within the first one to ten pages of results, is still considered a success.

Several factors impact ongoing ranking improvement and retention, and we fully discuss these methods with our clients in order to allow them to work to maintain their investment in search engine optimization.

Who should use DotSorcerer™?

Businesses which have a moderate budget for promoting their Website, and who wish to jump-start their traffic results from search engines. According to some studies, over 75% of all web "surfers" start their day with a search engine, so being found in those search engines is a primary goal of any Internet-based company.

If you're not certain this service is for you, then perhaps you should start with our DotComMojo™ service and see if the results are sufficient for your needs.
