Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for ed.gov

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.

I was very surprised when I first visited the US Department of Education site. I did NOT expect to find a site designed so well. Most non-profit and government sites have some terrible web design that doesnt work, and looks even worse. Not the US DOE, however! Their site utilizes Flash, and other visual elements like DHTML navigation to portray what they are trying to:their content.I am still in a type of shock over how good this site looks compared to other sites that it would be classified in. Whoever designed it should get an award!
