| NoMerlot.com - SEO BAAM SMO - Wine Marketing |
![]() NoMerlot.com has been taken offline so we can focus on our core business of ethical search engine optimization, emarketing for small business owners such as wine companies and custom web design and development. We have, however, left the original case study for your review. Hoboken Vine's primary objective was to educate people about wine. To monetize the site, we sold ad space via Google's Adsense program. "If the site pays for itself, we'll be satisfied." Over the course of twelve months NoMerlot.com rose steadily through the search engines and attained top ranking for terms such as "Wine Review", "White Wine Review" and hundreds of granular terms in Google, Yahoo and MSN. From the Serr.biz point of view the ranking of NoMerlot.com was a terrific SEO, blogging marketing (BAAM) success. From Hoboken Vine's point of view, the site was too successful. Their primary business focus is retail wine sales, not editing a wine review site. Though the site pays for itself via Google Adsense, we suspended work until an online wine vendor could be arranged. However, the SEO web design, unique content and strong link popularity continues to push NoMerlot.com into the top ten of Google for keywords such as "Wine Reviews", as well as hundreds of granular terms.
