500Words.com today announced an innovative and novel approach to selling keywords as virtual real estate. As the name indicates, there are five hundred words that appear on the web page in a "word cloud" format. Each word is available to be claimed by a sponsor who will own the word for as long as the site stays online (with a minimum of two years).
For example, the word "book" has been purchased by BestBookBuys.com. Whenever a visitor clicks the claimed word, they are instantly taken to the sponsor website.
"Remember the pixel ad craze from 2005?" asks Joel Comm, President of InfoMedia, Inc. "While pixel ads were clever, they weren't practical for site owners who ultimately gained little benefit from owning pixels. In the case of the 500 words word cloud, site owners can customize their word link and receive search engine keyword linking benefit from the hyperlink."
Word claimers may customize their chosen word by selecting font size, colors, highlights and mouseover text. Every time 500words.com loads, the words on the page display in a random order, encouraging visitors to click different words to visit sponsor sites.
"500Words.com is sure to spark a new trend in sponsored links," says Comm. "Site owners are eager to associate words with their products or services. This site provides the perfect opportunity to secure a link and participate in a piece of Internet history."
About InfoMedia, Inc. InfoMedia, Inc. is a new media company that strives to provide family-friendly entertainment and other useful resources through web sites that include DealofDay.com, WorldVillage.com, FamilyFirst.com and FreeBitz.com.
