Portal sites such as AJP Online also helps small and large companies alike find their target audience; with the huge growth in the number of websites, we are helping to bring the buyer and the seller together quickly, simply and more effectively than a search engine query. Also in search engine optimisation (SEO) terms, AJP Online can help boost not only the traffic to your site, but also help to boost your search engine rankings with relevant product placement and website links.

What's the difference between AJP Online and all the other directory sites?

Unlike many of our competitors, we will only list your company within relevant and carefully selected product categories. With highly relevant product and or service placement, buyers can easily and quickly find what they are searching for e.g. they can find you. Many other listing directories are so cluttered and hard to use, browsers 'click out' in frustration after not being able to find what they're looking for. We are different. Our site is specifically designed to clean and easy to navigate and so helping those potential customers easily find and view your ad. We have also found that we deliver more impressions per product category than other directory sites.

This all sounds great, but if I advertise with AJP Online, how many people are going to visit my site?

There is a basic principle at play with all advertising, online and offline; the more targeted advertising you employ the greater the direct interest you will be. So the more product categories your company is listed under, the bolder the ad, the higher up the listings you appear the more visits your site will receive. Listing your company under very general terms is sometimes not the best route, but being unique is always good so make your ad stand out. So by choosing your categories carefully, writing great copy and employing the type of ad that best suits your objectives and budget, you can guarantee the best possible results.

So what types of ads are available?

We have three basic types of listings; Free, Standard and Feature plus banner advertising. A full list of the functionalities and pricing can be seen here.

Only 4 Categories! I have tens or hundreds of products! Can I have more?

Simply put, yes and it's a great way to increase your online exposure too. We deal with each client on an individual basis to meet your advertising requirements as best we can. You can speak to one of our online representatives for further details on 01474 359527.

You say I can have images within my ad, what kind of images can I post?

With a feature ad you can post a Logo and a product image. These can be either JPEG, GIF or TIFF format pictures. The size of your logo image is 100x45 pixels, the product image is 200x90 pixels but don't worry, we will auto size the image for you so there's no need to edit the image down.

Are there banner ads available?

We have a large number of product category and industry sector specific banner ads available to suit most product niches. Banner ads are available in 6 or 12 months terms in both the top or bottom page positions. Prices vary according to banner impressions.

I hear that having a link to my site really helps my websites SEO, is this true?

Yes. Search engines respond better to inward bound links to your site than just registering your site with search engines manually. It's great SEO (search engine optimisation) sense to make sure that the websites you do have linking into your site are 'like' sites and relevant sites, search engines may frown upon junk links such as some link exchanges for example. This is where AJP Online excels as we only allow relevant category links and listings which will help boost your search engine ranking not damage it! Plus we are helping browsers find you directly as well!
