Frequently Asked Questions About the ASES System
What is this all about?
| |
The amount of business you do on your website depends on the number of people that visit your site. When you sign up for an ASES
product, ASES will make use of a range of techniques, and automated "intelligent" systems to increase the chances of people reaching
your site (rather than your competitors) when they search in the search engines for words or phrases relating to your business.

How do you get TARGETED visitors to my site?
| |
Instead of going after generic search phrases (such as "overseas travel"), which are usually hotly-contested, we prefer to
drive traffic to your site by using more specific, targeted phrases which are more closely tied to your business
(such as "weekend specials to Thailand"), and more likely to result in a sale. You would probably prefer to get 100 visitors
a day with 50% making a purchase, than 1000 visitors a day with 1% making a purchase.
|
How do you keep the visitors coming?
| |
Search engine rankings needs to be closely watched and continuously improved, just to stay in the same place.
Your competitors are the other sites in your search space and they are working hard daily to improve their search ranking.
ASES will keep on widening your "search footprint" with each phrase we add for you. As long you let us keep doing our
thing, we will keep visitors flowing to your site, continuously increasing the size of the "search pool" from which they come.
|
No modifications to my current site? None at all?
| |
The ASES process makes use of external "micro-sites" that drive traffic to your site. Each micro-site is optimized for
a specific search phrase. In this way, even if your own site is badly optimised for search engines, or even if it has
been penalized by a search engine, visitors will still flow to your site. There are absolutely zero changes that
you have to make to your own site.
|
Do I need any technical knowledge?
| |
The only knowledge you need relates to your own business. You don't need to know anything about web development or design,
or search engine optimization, or anything that is normally required for the traditional approaches to making money on the
internet by driving seach traffic. For some products, you will need to write a short article that relates to your business
and highlights a certain search phrase. For other products, we do this for you.
|
Exactly what do you mean by "fixed, affordable cost"?
| |
Many companies will do hand-on SEO (search engine optimization) on your site. This means they need to employ a web developer
and it means the more SEO you want done, the more you'd have to pay. With ASES though, the costs are a fixed amount per year.
You can get started pretty cheaply, for as little as $99 USD. This gets you a phrase which will last for a year. However,
we recommend that you add new phrases on a regular basis (this can be automated) which will have the effect of gradually
increasing the traffic coming to your site. As you earn more profit from the additional paying customers that your ASES
product brings in, you can use this to fund more ASES phrases, which will increase your traffic still further. This in turn
drives futher sales on your site, and lets you buy more ASES phrases to get more visitors, and so on. As you can see, this
becomes a continuous cycle that keeps accelerating your sales.
|
Will I be locked in? Are there long-term contracts?
| |
Each ASES product you buy gets you one phrase, which remains active for a year. Phrases are renewed automatically every
year, but you can ask us to stop at any time and there will be nothing more to pay. You are not locked in to any kind of
contract. If you buy an add-on subscription product, we will keep on adding phrases (at the intervals you specify) until
you tell us to stop.
|
What preparation do I need? Can I get started right now?
| |
Getting signed up doesn't require any special preparation, you can signup in minutes and pay with a range of options,
including PayPal and Credit Card. And if you're building a new website, you don't even have to wait until it is 100%
complete either... the ASES process produces results over time, so start now and catch the wave when it comes!
|
I have big plans, but little cash. Can I get started gradually?
| |
Yes. Take a look at our pricing, it costs very little to get going. Naturally,
the more you spend on phrases, the better the results, but it is possible to "bootstrap" this process by starting
with only one phrase. When you start to make increased sales as a result of that phrase, spend some of those
earnings on the next phrase. The first phrase continues to work for you but now the second phrase is bringing in
visitors as well, which should result in even more sales. If you keep up this process, you will end up with lots
of phrases, all bringing in lots of visitors. But at the very start, it only cost you one phrase! All you really
need to do is take the first step, which can start from as little as $99 USD.
|
How Do I know this really works?
| |
The proof is right in front of you: you came to this site, didn't you? ASES itself is a living example of these
principles in action. We get customers to our site by using the ASES process. The fact that you are here, reading
this page, proves that it works. It can work for you too.
|
Do you really have a money-back guarantee???
| |
YES WE DO, and we offer it because we are confident our products will work for you.
This is the part that separates ASES from our competitors. Because we feed visitors to your site through our micro-sites,
it allows us to track every click-through to your site. If we have failed to produce any click-through visitors to your
site after 1 month from launch of an ASES micro-site, we will refund you, on application, the value of all non-domain
costs (domain costs are usually about 10% of the price). This can be done as either a direct payment, or a credit towards
ASES costs for another product. There is no risk to you and therefore no reason not to go ahead.
|
From a corporate point of view, what is the ROI justification?
| |
Although ROI is often hard to measure, we encourage our corporate clients to track their usual metrics for 3 months
prior to the start of the ASES process, and use this as a baseline to measure against. With other factors being equal,
there is typically a clear jump in activity after the ASES process gets underway, and this continues to climb.
Some customers using the ASES Platinum Products have reported ROIs as high as 40,000%. ($10,000 jump in monthly sales
from a $299 annual spend). For the most part though, the ROI is off the charts for a standard sales-model site. This
because the initial outlay is usually negligible compared to the benefit.
