ZUG.com Launches Unique Optimized Content Service with Keyword Targeted Text Link Ads

ZUG.com, online comedy forum, today launches a new targeted SEO text link program for its sponsors. Due to high demand for targeted seo text link ads, ZUG.com has launched a service to place targeted SEO text links as natural seo link advertisements around its highly-ranked product specific content.

“Our advertisers want to fish where the fish are,” says Sir John Hargrave, editor-in-chief of ZUG.com. “By sponsoring comedy content that targets their service or product, they win two ways. First, they get exclusive sponsorship of that content, driving streams of qualified customers to their site while locking out competitors. They also get SEO text links, which boosts their own search ranking.”

Since 1995, ZUG.com has been creating original humor content around a link-baiting humor hook: “If they laugh, they will link.” The site’s hilarious content and outrageous pranks have attracted thousands of links from bloggers and social bookmarking sites. ZUG.com now has over 57,000 Google-indexed pages that cover a wide range of categories from consumer products to common business services.

ZUG.com’s newest service offers text links that boost an advertiser’s SEO ranking around related keywords. For instance, advertisers interested in keywords like “powerbook” and “credit card” can buy links on ZUG.com’s “Powerbook Prank” and “Credit Card Prank,” respectively, which both are ranked within the top ten of the 175 million pages that are indexed on Google.

“On the Internet, comedy is king,” says Hargrave, pointing out that nearly every online viral marketing success story has used humor as its link baiting hook. “A consumer searching online for a new credit card will often take a few moments to click a page that guarantees a quick laugh on the topic. Even more often, this consumer will click through to see the product that’s being advertised from that page. And sometimes they just end up surfing porn instead. Not much you can do about that.”

It’s part art and part science. ZUG crafts a strong “call to action” for each advertiser, so consumers are enticed to click through, rather than returning to their original search. Advertisers see strong return on investment, which is why 90% of ZUG’s advertisers renew month over month. Best of all, long-term advertisers see even more returns after two to three months, in the form of natural SEO traffic to their own Web site.
