Search Engine Strategies Chicago 2008
Booth #424

CHICAGO – SEO Samba, a full-fledged SEO automation platform, unveils the first and only multi-tenants SEO platform for SEM firms and website marketers at 2008 Search Engine Strategies (SES) Chicago. SEO Samba is an exhibitor and sponsor in Chicago, where it will demonstrate its SEO platform in exhibitor booth #424.

“While businesses are hard hit by rising pay per click costs, and the search marketing industry relies on hit or miss consulting, SEO Samba has built a system that helps website marketers succeed instantly with search engines instead of following ad hoc trial and error SEO process,” said SEO Samba CEO and Founder Michel Leconte. “In most cases, systematical optimization processes via SEO Samba results in page-one positions in Google search results for targeted search terms. SEO Samba achieves this by providing consistent and documented best practice execution to your SEO efforts,” added Leconte.



The SEO Samba platform is ideal for managing service and information websites, affiliate websites, large numbers of local or franchise websites, news sites and B2B sites.

Three beta software customers for SEO Samba describe their experience implementing the platform:

“What I love best about SEO Samba is the ability to set search engine optimization rules, and perform automated cross-linking throughout sites. The system is well designed, and handles lots of the headaches, such as 301’s redirect pages, that come with managing multiple websites,” says Scott Gordon, marketing guru at ActivSupport, Inc, a nationwide IT support company.

“Our busy staff of scientists did not have the time to learn a complex content management system when we decided to redesign and optimize our website,” said Olga Potapova, scientific director at Cureline. “Samba’s integrated CMS and SEO platform proved easy to use and deploy and logically organized which is critical when dealing with scientists. In addition the platform allows us to easily keep track of ongoing optimization of content,” added Potapova.

“Our customers have reacted very positively to our newly-deployed white label version of SEO Samba, allowing us to propose sophisticated multi-site SEO strategies at a cost-effective price point,” says Arnaud Tessier, CEO of the SEM and hosted application development firm Altervisions.

The SEO Samba platform enables search marketing professionals to:

* Integrate both on-site and off-site SEO automation routines and features up-to-date best practices
* Optimize using standard HTML and leave zero footprint when optimized sites are republished
* Enable effective multi-sites management functions and includes a proven web-based Content Management System with unlimited user access
* Easily build news sections on sites to feed Google News and other leading news search engines
* Integrate with leading CRM applications such as Constant Contact and Salesforce.com
* As a Web-hosted application, does not require download, maintenance, upgrade, or otherwise involvement of an IT department

Simply put, SEO Samba is shifting the paradigm to automate the implementation of the SEO process at a fraction of the cost, which empowers in-house marketing managers while adding new revenue streams for SEM firms.

Powered by SEO Samba, SEO firms can differentiate in this challenging economic environment, execute strategies across any number of customers and scale their practice significantly faster. SEO Samba offers a fully branded interface, a generous discount structure, and many additional recurring revenue opportunities with no required up-front commitment to SEM firms.

To encourage trial use, SEO Samba is offering several options including: an unlimited time test drive; importing an existing website using a powerful SEO Kick-Off wizard, or get it done by a professional import services expert for a low fee. SEO Samba is priced at $99 a month.

SEO Samba’s platform has been in development for almost two years with input from search marketing professionals across Europe. SEO Samba was incorporated in March 2008, and is headquartered in Dover, Delaware with a distributed workforce across the world.
