An Inside Look At Our Advertising!

Our site design solves the Little Orphan Ad Syndrome, the Dissed Book Disorder and the Ineffective Affiliate Disease.

The Little Orphan Ad
Syndrome

A webpage with your ad or affiliate link on it doesn't do you any good if customers don't visit it. There are lots of Little Orphan Ads sitting out there on unvisited pages in the digital universe. Of course, it may have started out differently. The page had great content, a direct, featured link from the home page and steady traffic. Then the home page was refreshed, the link eliminated and your ad or affiliate link effectively bid adieu to cyberspace viewers. Without effective internal links your ad or affiliate link becomes an orphan. New creative copy or graphics won't help. Better positioning on the page won't make any difference. A bigger ad will have no impact. Active internal links are the lifeblood of profitable advertising and the only way to keep that ad or affiliate link alive.

Our solution: great page content, multiple site navigation schemes and thousands upon thousands of internal links. Already there are more than 10,000 internal links at SoAmazing.com with hundreds more being added every week. There are five to fifteen incoming, internal links per page! We have designed unique, built-in motivation for our readers to spend more time on the site, visiting more pages of the site. The SoAmazing Letter (see sample of web version), populated with confirmed, double opt-in readers is designed to drive traffic to the site and provide regular contact with our participating members. We employ a robust marketing plan including creative viral marketing methods and search engine optimization so that your ads and affiliate links will always see the light of day!

The Dissed Book Disorder

You write a great book. Find a great publisher. Promote it like mad! Distribute it to as many booksellers as possible. Then, reality hits. Bookstores have limited shelf space! Thousands of new books keep coming onto the market to compete with your book for bookstore exposure, and your inspiration is crowded off the shelves. The prodigious efforts of writer, publisher and promoter run headlong into the cold fact that your great book has been dissed. It's out in the cold. Adrift on the Atlantic. Shivering alone in its nice bindings, stacked in packing boxes in some cold warehouse, suffering from the Dissed Book Disorder. Your baby enjoyed its fifteen minutes of fame, and now has been forgotten.

Our solution: unlimited shelf space on our site that you can control. Start advertising during the promotion stage of your book by applying with us to have your book featured in the SoAmazing Letter. Each featured book runs for six issues with a different quotation and a different SoAmazing Review appearing in each issue. Your cost is based on our minimum fee or the appropriate Cost Per Thousand (CPM) for the circulation of the SoAmazing Letter, whichever is greater. At the conclusion of the book's featured appearances in the six issues of the SoAmazing Letter, each quotation is then placed on one of our SoAmazing.com webpages, and all six quotations and SoAmazing Reviews are placed on a book page featuring only one book--yours! "Shelf space" on our site on seven different webpages (one for each quotation and one for the book page.) Each quotation is linked directly to our selection of great Internet booksellers. Traffic is generated by our internal linking system. All these benefits are included free for one year (with modest renewal costs for subsequent years) because you decided to promote your book with SoAmazing.com. You can say goodbye to Dissed Book Disorder.

The Ineffective Affiliate Disease

A Merchant signs-up an affiliate with great hopes for traffic and little or nothing happens. The links are poorly located, and webpages are not supported well or at all. Traffic is disappointing, results nonexistent. Your reach and frequency is dismal. Your links languish right alongside the Little Orphan Ads. Certainly the results are nothing like you had hoped for. Bam! You've got The Ineffective Affiliate Disease, an anathema to your marketing plan.

Our solution: review our solution to The Little Orphan Ad Syndrome above. All those reasons fit here. Then add issues of reach, frequency and link positions! We have the cure! And it also remedies poor link positions, combats limited reach and ratchets up frequency. Meet our criteria (see, These Are Well, Good) and we will put great effort into supporting you. We are committed to putting up a minimum of 100 links to your site. Thus, your reach and frequency issues are addressed. In addition, you can buy link positions in our left navigation column, subject to availability, from $25 to $100 a page, and lock them in place for a full year. This lets you control positioning and assures active links for a full year. You should be feeling better already!

Our Readers

Unique Site Design Elements Of SoAmazing.com

Our heart is in serving God by helping distribute his words to a world-wide audience. Our Mission Statement describes our goals. Thinking about achieving that objective led to our innovative use of at least six Bible verses on each page which link to other pages and allow site surfers to follow the links to pages they otherwise might miss. Each left navigation column includes five Bible Verses. The top and lower banners a sixth. Links are to pages that may contain your advertisement, book quotation and SoAmazing Review or affiliate link. Plus we have thousands of hidden and not-so-obvious internal links that may feed surfers to your pages (see Hidden Links) and certainly involve our readers in a close scrutiny of our pages. We realized, as our idea developed, that the Bible verse linking process would uniquely benefit frequency, reach and effectiveness of all page elements, including ads, book quotations and SoAmazing Reviews or affiliate links.
