Web Hosting Provider Affinity Launches Online Marketing Services

Affinity Internet announced the launch of ValueTraffic (www.valueweb.com) - giving customers a full-service online advertising agency at an affordable price. For $100 a-month, Affinity's team of online marketing experts analyzes, executes and manages the customer's online advertising campaign - giving SMBs the power and expertise of a seasoned marketing department.

"ValueTraffic delivers real value to SMBs. Others in the online marketing space offer tools for SMBs to do it themselves, but we are the only ones that do it all for our customers - resulting in quality traffic to their sites at an affordable price," said Peter Chambers, CEO, Affinity Internet.

ValueTraffic, which has been available as a beta service since the beginning of September (already serving more than 100 customers), guarantees that a customer's ads will be seen at least 10,000 times per month, and includes a dedicated Affinity account manager.

"Even with the wide availability of online marketing tools, many small businesses continue to struggle with low traffic to their web sites," said Helen Chan, senior SMB analyst at the Yankee Group.

"ValueTraffic is further proof that Affinity has cracked the code for reaching SMBs and meeting their online needs," said Chambers. "By providing real value and partnering with our customers through offerings like ValueTraffic and our bundled premium services suites, Affinity is helping small businesses achieve real, measurable success through their web sites - at prices that allow them to do it profitably."

The most recent SMB Application and Web Survey from the Yankee Group cited minimal traffic to their web sites as one of the biggest challenges for SMBs on the web. ValueTraffic directly addresses this problem by removing the time consuming and often frustrating process of planning, maintaining and executing an effective online marketing program at a price that makes the service accessible.
