Frequently Asked Questions
What are Sponsor Links? Sponsor Links are the same thing as text links or hyperlinks. They include ad text that the internet advertiser chooses. Many times the ad text is the name of the business or service you are offering and can be up to about 25 characters long. This text is then set up with a link. This link can "point" to anywhere the advertiser chooses. Some examples for where this link will "go" include: the advertiser's website, a "splash" page hosted by us or a printable coupon hosted by the advertiser.
What is the difference between Sponsor Links and text links? In this case, there is no difference. Many times Sponsor Links are called text links. In both cases the links referred to are the hypertext links in the upper right hand corner of each of our destination sites (EmeraldCoast.com, Destin.com and PanamaCity.com) just to the left of the palm tree.
Where are Sponsor Links located? Sponsor Links are located in the upper right hand white box of our destination sites (EmeraldCoast.com, Destin.com and PanamaCity.com). You will notice these links just to the left of the palm tree under the heading "Sponsor Links".
Why are text links effective? Sponsor Links or text links are effective because they do not look like advertisements. If the advertiser links them to appropriate information, then the Sponsor Links really are not ads. They are simply hyperlinks that viewers find useful because they answer a question or help the viewer find what he is searching for. This is one reason text links are such a popular choice among businesses that have internet advertsing endeavors.

Seaspray Condominiums started a PPC campaign when Vision Airlines started service to the Niagara Falls. They geo-targeted it to the Niagara Falls area. We also started a OOM Yahoo campaign in the same area. Take a look at their numbers in the attachment.

In the current economy it is often difficult to see its potential, and with the rapidly changing buying environment there is not a lot of time to contemplate either. The Pay-Per-Click campaign with The Northwest Florida Daily News and Orange Soda was able to quickly grasp our market, generate reputable leads and lay the foundation for a more dynamic marketing plan in 2010. We have witnessed phenomenal results with Pay-Per-Click and highly recommend it.

We have had a great response from our newspaper and online advertising. We will continue to put our marketing dollars with the Northwest Florida Daily News.

Wooooohoooooo! Last night we had 2 reservations online from guests who
have never stayed with us before!!! This points me to believe that they
were booked solely based on our website and the online booking engine.
Congrats Peggy, our web developers and Ron with Entech for helping us get
started on the right path. Not bad for the first day, huh? Congratulations
are in order for both of you and your development teams!!
Thanks!!!
