Honestly - I am that much of a mug? Very tempted to ring renamed 'Mugs Anonymous' Company and ask them to look at our keywords for "Alps Driving Holidays" instead.

Dear Bonne Route

If someone told you the phrase 'Alps' is used around 17,000 times a month by people in the UK searching on the internet, you'd probably want to know that www.bonneroute.co.uk is one of the results they get.

We tried it and your company didn't appear on the sponsored links shown by Google, Yahoo or Microsoft.

If that concerns you, maybe we can help.

'Search engine marketing' can put your business at the top of the list when customers go searching on the internet. We should know. As the UK's largest dedicated search engine marketing agency, we've helped hundreds of businesses find thousands of profitable new customers online.

Now, we've created ‘Mugs Anonymous' exactly for smaller companies like yours, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of paid search marketing at a fraction of the price you might usually expect to pay.

For just £499 per month, plus your choice of spend on keywords, you could have a campaign for www.bonneroute.co.uk up and running across all the major search engines in just three working days.

As well as helping you choose the most effective keywords, we'll write the most compelling copy for your search engine advertisements and plan your campaign schedule to give it maximum impact.

That's not all. With no minimum contract commitment, 24x7 instant reporting and on line customer support, ‘Mugs Anonymous' puts you in control.

Remember - there are more than 40 million internet users in the UK, performing over 160 million searches every single day. With ‘Mugs Anonymous' you can make it your website they come to, not your competitors.

Interested? Then please let us tell you more about search engine marketing and how we can help make your online business more profitable at www.mugsanonymous.com, or call me direct on our premium rate number.

With best regards,

It wasn't dated on April 1st was it?

My gf pays to have her salon at the top of the google page but it's nowhere near as expensive as that.

I know this because she is just starting out and couldn't afford that much.

If you are seriously considering spending money on advertising I would suggest finding out how much your local radio station charge. My gf used our local radio station and got a few clients (and her fees back quite quickly).

Again, not sure how much she paid (I didn't realise how little interest I take in her new business venture) but if you want a ball park figure I will ask her and get back to you.

And by the sounds of it, they are not offering to get your site to the top of the organic listings, but simply to manage a PPC campaign at the cost of £499 a MONTH. Strewth!
