Learn About The Most Qualified Stream of Traffic in the VoIP Industry


How Is Our VoIP Advertising So Targeted?

Voip Review powers a search engine of voip providers for very high traffic web sites like CNet.com.  Please go to Voip.CNet.com and scroll down the section titled, "Find VoIP Providers In Your Area" and do a search.  We provide the search engine and search results for them and are adding other partners soon.

Our traffic is unique because it is highly targeted.  First, the advertising is only for specific cities in which you offer services so there are no wasted funds on areas where you do not offer services.  You also receive great branding value because your logo is all over the search results.  Additionally, visitors can drill down and see the details of your plans including pricing, features, availability, contract terms, equipment, long distance, and more.  

Furthermore, they can do all this without you ever paying a cent.  Only once they see all that information about your company and then decide to visit your site is there any fee whatsoever.  So this is about the most highly targeted, qualified, and informed traffic that you can get.

What Sets Us Apart From Other Advertisers Like Google and Overture?

The biggest value we bring is that you receive so much before you are even charged.  For instance a visitor goes to one of our partner sites and does a search for a specific area code.  Your company is offering three calling plans and all three plans show up along with your beautiful company logo.  Your logo does not show up in a Google or Overture search so you lose that branding value.  And I might add you have not paid a penny at this point.

Next the visitor sees that you offer basic features like voice mail, caller id, calling waiting and also sees your outstanding long distance rates.  They decide to click on your plan and see the details (example).  They see all the things you offer like advanced features, equipment options and costs, long distance rates, regional rates, extra line cost, guarantee, contract terms, contract length, setup fee, and cancellation fee.  They have also seen your logo (again), plan name, and description of the plan.  And I might add that you still have not paid a penny.    

These are highly interested buyers at this point.  Only after they have seen all this information on your company and are still interested in buying your service and have clicked on the “Go To Site” button are you charged a click fee.  This is what sets us apart from Google and Overture.

How Do I Receive Traffic?

How our system works is that you pay per click to be listed and your ranking in the search results is determined by your per click bid.  Several top VoIP companies are bidding up to $5.50 per click on Overture (Yahoo) for the keyword VoIP.  There are a lot of companies that see the tremendous value of per click advertising.   

Receive visitors from Voip Review’s search engine by bidding per click for your placement at the top.  Currently (12/07/04) the bid to be #1 in our search results is $1.01 per click and $.50/click is the minimum.  This is a tremendous bargain for the quality of traffic you will be getting.   Compare this to $5.50 per visitor to be #1 on Overture for certain keywords.    

You can also set an auto-bid to automatically adjust your bid based on the competition.  Call Randy Swisher at 800-747-0733 or email Randy at Rswisher @ VoipReview.org to get started. 

What Kind of Traffic Do I Receive?

  • Highly targeted
  • Highly qualified
  • Geographically specific down to the country, area code, and city level. In the USA there are roughly 40,000 local calling areas and the large VoIP providers cover only 2,000-3,000. There are no wasted marketing dollars on areas you don’t serve.
  • Set your own price. You bid whatever you think the advertising is worth.
  • Logo and name recognition value. Even if someone doesn’t click on your link you still receive lots of logo and name recognition value without ever being charged.
  • Great Demographics
      Our Visitors:
    • Over 90% use broadband
    • Know what VoIP is
    • Are looking for landline type service not cellular
    • In Many Cases:
      • Want to replace or supplement existing phone system
      • Want unlimited long distance
      • What travel flexibility
      • Want international flexibility
  • Users are highly informed on your products before you are even charged.
    • They know prices, features, availability, contract terms, user’s ratings, 911 availability, number porting, voice mail, caller id, 3 way calling, call forwarding, call waiting, extra line costs, equipment costs, setup fees, equipment types, and more and you are still not charged unless they click
    • Only once they know all that and click through to your site are you charged
  • Users are actively searching for a VoIP provider. With other advertising you must first inform them of what it is you are offering (broadband phone service) then convince them they might want service and then convince them they want your service. Our users already know they want VoIP.
  • It is a completely variable advertising model. You only pay for a visitor to your site. There is no monthly or fixed fee. You only pay for what you get.
  • No long term contract
  • We set everything up for you
  • Takes 10 minutes of your time
