Pageviews Served Up Hot with a Side o'Tag Cloud - How Searchles Groups Can Benefit Your Targeted Site

Searchles groups are certainly a lovely way to categorize all your favorite links and videos but OH...they can do so much more. Recently Searchles and global communications site Total Telecom paired up to add a user-generated tag cloud to Total Telecom's TME page. The tags are pushed to their page directly from the Telecom group on Searchles and when visitors to Total Telecom click on one of the relevant tags, they are redirected to a co-branded page that displays the search results from the corresponding tag. That being said, the scorecard shows as follows:

* Total Telecom wins because the tag cloud offers additional user-generated content without their users having to leave Total Telecom - also providing additional pageviews upon which to sell their Ad inventory
* Total Telecom users win because they are given user-generated, targeted search results related to the tag from a variety of sources without having to leave Total Telecom.

This application appeals to anyone who may run a targeted or interest-specific website/blog that could benefit a user-generated tag cloud from a corresponding Searchles group. Does a corresponding Searchles group not yet exist? Create your own! You also have the option of privacy functionalities so you can control which content is posted to your group. These safeguards ensure that your targeted advertisements aren't going to be accidentally popping up next to the latest post on Britney Spears' mama-drama...unless you're Perez Hilton. (Please don't say you're Perez Hilton)

Please contact Elias Shams at caveman (at) searchles (dot) com with any questions/inquiries...and obviously have a look at Total Telecom - if not for us, then just because they're mighty good at what they do.
