For $100 per month, Affinity will create, execute
and manage a small business customer's search
campaign. The ValueTraffic plan guarantees at
least 10,000 monthly impressions or 50 Web site
visits.
Meanwhile, LaGarde is charging set-up and monthly
fees for its combination of search and e-mail
marketing services. Those fees start at $9.95 for
set-up, and $200 to $300 per month on the low
end. LaGarde will also design e-mail creative,
for an additional fee.
The end result is that both Affinity and LaGarde
will be going head-to-head in an already crowded
arena. Earlier this week, Web hosting giant
Interland (which, too, has made successful forays
into the add-on services market) launched its pay-
per-click search marketing practice.
