Internet Advertising on Arizona Tourism Websites

Southwest Media Communications has built and maintained six premier Arizona area travel guides known as the Travel Sites to Be Seen. Most of our travel oriented websites were developed in 1996 during the early days of the Internet, but now our portfoiio has expanded to provide information about other highly visted areas in Arizona. The travel sites now include Sedona.net, TheCanyon.com, GrandCanyon.net, Prescott.com, Flagstaff.com and ScottsdalePhoenix.net. These websites serve as a one-stop portal to Arizona tourism-oriented businesses websites such as hotels and resorts, golf courses, spas, restaurants and shops.

For more than ten years, over 200 tourism-related businesses in Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott and the Grand Canyon have relied on Southwest Media Communications to generate valuable low-cost, quality click-throughs to their web sites. Southwest Media Communications' websites receive over 3 million visitors per year, largely because they are the top-ranked organic sites for the most popular and relevant search engine queries like "sedona," "sedona arizona," "grand canyon," "grand canyon, arizona," and many others. Visitors can quickly browse, decide and book their travel. The websites are neatly organized and easy to navigate, allowing visitors to find businesses in specific categories like lodging, things to do, golf, spas, tours as well as restaurants, real estate, shopping and weddings.

Currently, the the Travel Sites to Be Seen are undergoing a redsign to better suit the needs of today's website visitors, advertisers and search engines. Check out Flagstaff.com, Prescott.com, and GrandCanyon.net to see what Sedona.net, ScottsdalePhoenix.net and TheCanyon.com will look like by early 2012.

    A: Simple: We're Arizona's Most Cost-Effective Travel Websites - GUARANTEED Southwest Media Communications offers low flat-rate pricing to our advertisers. Because our advertisers routinely receive hundreds of click-throughs every month*, and our flat-rate pricing is so affordable, the resulting "Equivalent Cost per Click" (ECPC) is often as low as 35-cents per click! So even though we don't necessarily charge per click, we coined the EPPCC concept to help advertisers see all their online marketing - from pay-per-click (PPC) Search Engine Marketing on Google, Yahoo!, Bing or others to travel-related portals and directories - on an "apples-to-apples" basis. This is a great way to balance your marketing "portfolio;" keep the most cost-effective referrers (like Flagstaff.com, Sedona.net, Prescott.com, etc.) and eliminate the non-performers.
