Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for alternet.org

Queries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates.

Reviews for alternet.org

I would not recommend
this site to a friend
jsmarch says:
Comments: You won't find a single piece of factual reporting in this "news" site. It makes tabloids look classy and defines the sub-standard rubbish that fills the contemporary media.

I recommend
this site to a friend
A great "alternative" news site with several new stories a day. The articles are not as narrowly "political" as other sites such as Common Dreams. Very readable and printable.

I recommend
this site to a friend
Someone has to present other points of view. The best of the "alternative" news sites. Not particularly kooky, and less pointed. Alternet covers topics the mainstream media is not touching. Such a refreshing change of pace from the garbage that we are force-fed by the networks and the other major news agencies. Broad range of topics. Good writers/editors.
