- Who is Rabbit Marketing Services and Netword?
Rabbit Marketing Services, LLC, a privately held company involved in
Internet marketing, advertising and security, is the exclusive licensee
of Networds, an Internet advertising concept. The Rabbit Marketing
corporate offices are located in Woodland Hills, California. Rabbit has
dealerships throughout the United States.
- What is Netword advertising?
Netword advertising is an Internet institutional advertising program
developed to supercede all other Internet advertising. By purchasing the
exclusive rights to a Netword, the purchaser/advertiser's live website
will appear along-side qualifying major search engines, qualifying
websites, or from the address bar whenever a user conducts a search. As
the first, largest, state, regional or national advertiser to appear
whenever a search is conducted, Netword advertising is designed to
deliver thousands of potential buyers to an advertiser's website at less
cost than many other forms of advertising.
- Why should I lease a Netword?
A proven, patented technology, Networds are geo-targeted; they
represent premier ad positioning to coincide with top, major search
engine searches for each customer's specific and exclusive Netword
choice; they are user-friendly and they are price-based on actual use.
Every customer owns the rights to his choice of Networds for twelve
months, with first right of refusal for renewal.
- Is a Netword advertisement considered a pop-up?
Netword results are designed to respond to user demand as opposed to
unsolicited and intrusive pop-ups. As such, they are not considered
pop-ups. Rather, they are an immediate method to direct traffic and a
real-time visit of a user to an advertiser/customer's website. This
"user requested" Netword result exceeds the advertising value not only
of bothersome pop-ups, but more importantly, of Search Engine
Optimization, which competes for a particular placement, usually among
the top 10 to 20 search results. A Netword advertiser/customer's website
is displayed in half-page format to the right of the search engine
search result, and as a whole page when the advertiser's Netword is used
in the address bar. These results are delivered in all Netword-enabled
Internet Explorer browsers.
- Why is Netword advertising better than competitive
advertising?
A Netword customer can target his advertising to a specific
geographic audience on specific choices of platforms thereby maximizing
advertising dollar result potentials. No competitor has this diversity
or potential for results. Customers lease Networds on an annual basis.
There are no usage fees and no pay-per-clicks. Netword customers also
have the right of first refusal to renew. By retaining exclusive usage
rights to words or phrases, customers retain critical advertising for
their business.
- How do Netword intellectual properties benefit
advertisers?
The Netword patented technology delivers ease of navigation for
end-users. For business advertiser's (customers), a Netword delivers a
unique, unparalleled opportunity to have the business website displayed
alongside the first listed placements of major search engine results
thereby increasing exposure, return-on-investment, and market presence.
This is an opportunity to effectively eliminate the competition.
- Why utilize Networds as opposed to other
products?
Netword advertising is fast moving forward to becoming a premiere
advertising product for all businesses, be they "brick-and-mortar" or
e-commerce oriented. As a user-friendly, dynamic navigational software,
a Netword advertiser's ad appears as a full page ad when a search is
conducted from the Internet Explorer address bar, and alongside the top
search engine platforms when users generate searches. Just as Yellow
Page users are attracted to the "first, largest, local advertiser" in
the Yellow Pages Directory, Netword users will see the advertiser's
Internet site prior to those of their competitors.
- Why are Networds preferred over pay-per-click?
(1) Networds can provide an unlimited and repeat source of visitor
traffic for a one time annual fee. This is not pay-per-click, where an
advertiser is charged each and every time a visitor is connected to a
website. (2) With Networds, visitors are delivered directly to a live
website. There are no click-throughs or links. With pay-per-click a
potential buyer must locate a specific site by reading a short version
of the advertiser's services located among a long list of written
descriptions of their competitors' sites and their services as well.
This is just about as compelling as looking up businesses in the White
Pages. (3) With Networds, ownership of a pertinent Netword is all it
takes to ensure visitors are delivered immediately to the Netword
advertiser's website, which is then displayed with all its data and
graphics. (4) Networds are exclusive: they can only, logistically, be
sold once. Your acquisition of a Netword locks it up and keeps it away
from competitors.
- Why lease Networds now, as opposed to waiting?
The lease prices for Networds are expected to increase as the Netword
System grows in popularity, with lessened Netword availability, and with
fewer geo-targeted locations remaining. Prices are anticipated to
increase in line with a calculated, determined ROI for the product to
maximize advertiser satisfaction. The final determining factors in price
calculations include Internet market statistics from leading sources
such as eMarketer.com, CyberAtlas.com and WordTracker.com.
Netword basic advertising costs are calculated on an
advertiser's selection of: i) search engine and e-commerce sites
("platforms"); ii) state, region or national coverage ("geo-target
area"); iii) search word values, and; iv) Netword technology user
applications. This provides diversity for users as well as advertisers
and allows the advertiser/customer to focus his advertising dollars.
This geo-targeting software is a value that is unsurpassed in any other
natural language navigational system currently on the market.
- How do Networds effectively enhance Internet
exposure?
A Netword-developed advertisement produces a full page exposure of a
customer/advertiser's web content or site home page when an address bar
search is made, and a half-page window next to leading search engine
(platforms) results, when search queries are made. Thus, platform
Networds direct users to a specific advertiser's web site. This is not
only point-of-purchase advertising at its best, but institutional
advertising at its best, as well.
Networds - offered nationally,
regionally, or statewide, on a variety of platforms,- are priced to
accommodate specific needs, audiences and demographics. Not only do
Networds provide diversity for users, but they focus a
customer/advertiser?s advertising dollars to maximize
return-on-investment. Data gathered from the 2003 Neilsen NetRatings
provide that Netword compatible search engines constitute from 83% to
over 97% of the search Market. The Internet's largest auction site,
e-Bay, has now been added to the Netword growing list of platforms for
even greater flexibility and customer advertising exposure. Netword
pricing, based on targeted requirements of the advertiser, can save
advertisers thousands of dollars over-time. Businesses may pay far more
for Search Engine Optimization placement in the top search engine
rankings or for sponsored links in the major search engines. The value
of yearly leased Netword advertising increases as resolutions increase
(though annual costs are based on values at time-of-order) thereby
enhancing the intellectual property of an advertiser's Networds. As
values increase and advertisers have the first-right-of-refusal to
renew, an advertiser's use of Networds continues to be unique and
becomes even more cost effective.
- Who is authorized to sell Rabbit's Netword
product?
Rabbit Marketing has established strict marketing guidelines for the
Netword product. Rabbit Marketing licensed dealers are authorized to
handle the lease of Networds to qualifying advertiser/customers.
- Won't There be Competition in the Future?
Just as McDonald's begat Wendy's, and with technology energizing
entrepreneurialism, we have no false illusions as to the rapid growth of
the ever evolving and competitive world of Internet marketing and
advertising. Much the same as Networds are designed to emulate the
first, largest, local Yellow Pages advertising, so also is the Netword
product the industry flag ship, and as such, we fully intend to devote
whatever resources necessary to remain the first, largest, local,
national, international, and globally branded internet advertising
product as well. The Netword patented, geo-targeting, advertising
software is a value that is unsurpassed in any other direct language
navigational system currently on the market, and while we welcome
legitimate competition, those who infringe on our patents do so at their
own risk.
- What is the "Netword Agent"?
The Netword Agent is the software technology a user installs in
moments to upgrade his browser and which enables him to perform enhanced
searches. Technically, the Netword Agent is a Dynamic Loading Library
(DLL) file of approximately 135 kilobytes.
Not only does the
Netword Agent provide a user the ability to navigate the Web without
www's and dot-coms, it provides the user a direct connect to qualified,
select advertisers.
- Can I remove the Netword Agent? Is it spyware?
Spyware is software that sends information from the user's computer
without his knowledge whenever the computer connects to the Internet.
This information is sent without the user's informed consent. It does
not respect your privacy.
The Netword Agent is not Spyware. The
Netword Agent is an upgrade of your Internet Explorer browser. It is
installed, first and foremost, with the consent of the user. It may be
removed upon demand by accessing "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control
Panel. Further, the Netword Agent does not send any information, benign
or otherwise, upstream to Rabbit Marketing Services LLC. We fully
respect the computer user's right to privacy.
- Which browsers can be Netword-enabled?
The Netword Agent is designed to upgrade the Internet Explorer
browser releases which operate in the following operating system
environments:
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP Professional
- Windows XP Home Edition
- Windows 2000 Professional
- Windows 98
- Windows 98 SE
- Windows Millennium Edition
- Windows NT Workstation 4
As of August, 2003 these
browsers represented 81.9% of all browser-installed PC's. [Note: The
Netword Agent will not upgrade any releases of the Internet Explorer
browser that have been customized by third parties.]
Netword
business clients receive visitors directed to their websites from
Netword users who are among that current 81.9% of the browser market.
Use of non-supported browsers by business clients on their own PC's does
not interfere in any way with delivery of Netword visitor traffic to
their websites.
- How many downloads do you have?
Because we know that downloads are historic, that is to say, a
computer user can download our technology today and discard his computer
tomorrow, and because we know that it's impressions and resolutions that
count, a better question might be: "Can I count on a significant
current, and growing base of users to insure that my advertising will
pay off?"
The answer is, of course! We're betting on it! And
we're putting both our money and our reputation on the line to insure
that it will. Historically, concerning consumer demand, the Netword
product evolved from a consumer driven product in 1995 to a
consumer/commercial product in 2003. Following the early Netword
patents, Netword's natural-language- navigation tool produced hundreds
of thousands of user resolutions. The Netword product has achieved
exponential growth producing well into the multi-millions of user
resolutions. Growth, however, is not being achieved by credibility
alone. Plans to continuously increase user propagation include
allocating 5% from all gross sales to promote affiliate partnering
programs, banner advertising, download remuneration programs and
dealership/customer introductions, among other programs. Any one of
these planned methods of propagation could easily produce millions of
users, and several are under way.
One last, and very important
thought that directly relates to propagation: as Netword advertising
costs are based primarily on usage, today's pricing is the lowest it
will ever be. As we grow, so also will advertising results grow, and
advertising values, and advertising costs. This all translates to point
out the fact that, because pricing is currently at its lowest, this is
the best time for an advertiser to secure his choice of Networds... for
proprietary use not only today, but well into the future. Tomorrow, the
Networds of choice may not be available.
- How do I track visitors redirected to my website by
Networds?
Your log analytics software, such as Analog TM , AWStats
TM , NetTracker TM , Webalizer TM , and
WebTrends TM, track visitors to your website from Netword
users. There are CGI GET-style variables that are appended to the URL
that automatically tell the Netword, the state, and the platform of
origin. For example: A visitor from Virginia entering your Netword
"broccoli" in the Netscape search slot would show as -
http://www.yourcompany.com?netword=broccoli-VA-netscape
or, a visitor from Kansas entering your Netword phrase
"celery sticks" in the MSN search slot would show as -
http://www.yourcompany.com?netword=celery+sticks-KS-msn
- Why would a computer user download your
technology?
First, understand that it has been user demand that prompted the use
of Networds to develop an easier, faster and more direct route to reach
a single, reputable business a user can access when conducting searches
through major search engines. Aside from consumer demand and the use of
Networds as a commercial application, as a user employs the use of
Networds to navigate the web - thus eliminating www's, dot-coms, and
lengthy URLs? the Netword technology provides the user a direct and
immediate route to where he is going with far less confusion and in far
less the time. And, if one were to say that our Netword's commercial
application and its natural language navigation features weren't enough,
then we ask you also be advised that several additional, and very
interesting, user incentive programs have been developed which include
(1) a national alert system that identifies with Amber, Terror, and
Weather Alerts; (2) the use of free personal Networds that can
immediately access personal and/or work schedules and frequently visited
websites from any computer in the world; (3) a personal and free
lifetime e-mail account (a user's home phone number if so elected), and;
(4) Parental Control and I.P. Blockers... and these developing programs
are only the beginning.
- Can I resell my Netword to another customer?
Yes. Advertising rights are set-aside for whoever leases a Netword.
The customer owns the rights to that word for one full year from date of
paid order with a yearly first right of refusal to renew on an ongoing
basis. If a customer wishes to resell their Netword to another party
written consent is required. There is a USD49.95 fee per Netword to
change the destination URL.
- Is there a discount on volume purchases?
Dealers are not authorized to sell below Rabbit's posted Netword
Current Price List (CPL), however, as automated increases in word costs
are consistent with the growth of the Netword system, should a confirmed
order be based on a CPL three or less working days previous, such
"discounted" order will be accepted by Company.
- We aren't big enough for this Technology.
Any company that has a website with products and services to sell has
done so with the intent of increasing awareness and sales. Money has
already been invested in the website and now a small purchase of
Networds may help you to overcome the high cost of pay-per-click or
search engine optimization. A one-time annual fee places your home page
alongside leading competitors, competitors that can be overshadowed, on
the top search engines.
- What if my business is seasonal?
Advertising results are based on ever-present awareness issues: Who;
What; Where; When; Why... a never ending barrage of issue responsive
impressions. If point-of-purchase advertising is important in-season,
then, institutional advertising is important off-season. No well thought
out advertising effort should be absent of either, and Netword
advertising is both... and more! Additionally, as Netword pricing is
based on word usage, words selected and leased during off-season could
capture the best annual rate. Example: "Halloween Costumes" may command
a higher rate due to the amount of searches resolved in September and
October, so try to establish the rate in March. The rate will more than
likely be somewhat lower, perhaps 10%, 15% maybe even 20%. This savings
adds up year after year.
