Introducing jobsite123.com BizAds
Dec 17, 2010 marketing tips, press and media
In order to more effectively drive online exposure for its member companies, jobsite123 has launched a new tool called BizAds – which individually promotes each of its more than 30,000 member companies with targeted advertising at no charge. Managing over 30,000 company campaigns firmly cements jobsite123 as the industry’s largest advertising and marketing firm.
This is how BizAds works. When someone searches for a member company in Google, an ad for that company will appear prominently in Google’s paid search results, in addition to the jobsite123 organic listings. A click on the ad will send the user directly to that company’s comprehensive qualifications profile in jobsite123.com.
This is why BizAds works. The commercial construction and design industry is increasingly turning to search engines like Google to find resources online. jobsite123 member companies are actively promoted to make sure they have a competitive advantage and an opportunity to distinguish themselves via their company’s jobsite123 profile – which communicates their specific project history, experience and other qualifications better than 95% of the websites in the industry.
Steve Dooley, Director of Traffic Acquisition, commented: “We are continuously driving massive, targeted traffic to individual jobsite123 profiles. BizAds is another way we increase our members’ online visibility, which creates more project-bidding opportunities for them. By acquiring substantially greater visibility for our members than they could on their own, we provide significant value and it’s a great feeling every time one of our customers has that ‘Ah-Ha Moment’ and realizes the valuable lead-generation tool that jobsite123 truly is.” Dooley went on to say, “It’s a simple deal: our members get a great free profile on our platform and free advertising to help them make more money, and many of them elect to pay us for additional exposure services. It’s a true win-win.”
“Typical construction industry websites are so 2005.” said Victor Mendez, Chief Information Officer of jobsite123. Victor went on to elaborate, “Our members consistently come to us for solutions to drive their internet presence and online business development for where the industry is in 2010 and beyond. The great thing here is that we built the best in class solution for our industry.” Victor further commented, “jobsite123’s new BizAds tool is an example of how the platform continues to deliver tangible results to its community of commercial construction and design companies.”

jobsite123.com Introduces BizWords
Dec 10, 2010 marketing tips, press and media
Business owners know the words that clients use to refer to their company type. Google, Yahoo and Bing have taught the world the value of using words to search and find exactly what is desired on the internet. The problem created was that companies had to pay a SEO (search engine optimization) consultant to program the words into their website, so it could be found on the internet. However, this is no longer true for companies that work in and around the commercial construction industry.
jobsite123.com’s new BizWords tool allows member companies to easily attach the words that describe their business to their profile themselves. The result for member companies using BizWords is a more visible online presence based on what their business does. Very often, construction companies do a really good job of staying top-of-mind among existing clients, but the ways to effectively get the attention of a prospect that doesn’t know their company name are few and expensive. jobsite123.com solves that problem with the introduction of BizWords.
“A company’s web presence that doesn’t attract the attention of potential clients searching for what you do is like getting dressed-up for the prom but staying home with your family…there’s no return on the investment. Build a profile for your company in jobsite123 and ride the free wave that we create for all of our member companies. Then drive more traffic to your profile using the words that your clients know you by with BizWords.”
– Stephen Kaiser, Director of Online Marketing at jobsite123.com
jobsite123.com’s BizWords tool currently offers a library of 18,300 words – and is growing every day because of user feedback.

Oct 14, 2010 press and media
Independent website research companies’ compete.com and alexa.com both confirm that jobsite123’s monthly traffic has already skyrocketed past thebluebook.com. jobsite123.com was established in 2008, and began heavily marketing itself in 2010. The Blue Book was established in 1913, and went live with thebluebook.com in 1995.
According to compete.com, for the first time in August 2010, jobsite123.com attracted just over 200,000 unique monthly visitors, while thebluebook.com continued in its normal range with just over 100,000 unique monthly visitors. And alexa.com is currently reporting jobsite123.com’s U.S. traffic rank is now among the top 25,000 websites, while thebluebook.com is hovering in the top 10,000 websites. In other words, it’s taken less than three years for jobsite123.com to do what thebluebook.com took fifteen years to do.
The reason is simple: current economic conditions are causing commercial construction and design companies to seek more efficient and further reaching promotion opportunities. The need for companies to enter new markets and cultivate new business relationships is necessary more than ever before. And since jobsite123.com offers a powerful free advertising option along with many cost-effective upgrades in its search and qualify platform, companies are choosing to side with jobsite123.com.

By allowing all companies related to the commercial construction industry to build a profile, and jumpstarting its nationwide growth with 25,000 ABC member companies, jobsite123.com is well on its way to becoming the industry’s biggest and most effective search and prequalification tool.
