Your Internet phone keyword will work in
ANY browser, instantly.
You
are minutes from registration however, for us to provide this excellent,
valuable and free service we do not tolerate
registration errors.
If
you are registering a phone number with area code in the U.S., then go
to final registration now. No need to read
this page.
You can
register a keyword.com Internet keyword however you must read and
carefully follow all of the rules on this page. Reading this page is not
required to register a keyword.com Internet phone keyword.
NO
GENERIC KEYWORDS ALLOWED. Be sure to read all the rules.
1) Make a list of pages and UNIQUE INTERNET KEYWORDS that specifically relate to them.
Your
UNIQUE INTERNET KEYWORD must relate
directly to the content of the page you are directing it to. It must not
be misleading.
For example: If you sell Real Estate but register the Internet Keyword 'sex' thinking you'll get more hits, your registration will be
deactivated and - as if we haven't said it enough - you will never be
allowed to register with keyword.com again.
2)
Don't block a normal search
You are not trying to block
others - and will not be allowed to. You are registering a unique
Internet Keyword almost as distinctive as your phone, driver's license or social
security number. Make your choices very carefully to avoid deactivation.
3) Think about special Internet Keywords unique to your company...
... like combining trade names with part numbers to send users to specific pages
making it easier for users to find them within your Site and for you to send them there.
In
most cases you'll use your company name or organization before the
keyword. You may need to get more specific but must be absolutely
descriptive of your company and product and page and not block others
from 'general searches'.
Register an Internet Keyword which is memorable and easy to spell - but NOT
search engine keywords.
To
send people to your home page you might register your phone number with
area code (and Country Code if outside the United States).
If a model number for a specific product on a specific
page is WH-1275, register that as your Internet Keyword to that specific
page.
4)
Our system finds 'partials'
If
a User enters your entire Internet Keyword phrase such as 'Lexus Dealer
Encino' they will go direct to the associated web page on that web Site.
If the User enters only 'Lexus', (a 'partial' ), then a link will
appear. When clicked, that link will still take the user to the Lexus
Dealer Encino web page.
Please
review these examples:
Example
1: Never
register ANY common word or phrase like 'cars' or 'boats' or any other
phrase that is not unique to your Site and would block others from a
typical search IN ANY LANGUAGE. This includes acronyms and commonly
known terms. IBM, for example, will not be allowed, unless you are IBM
corporate.
Example
2: If
you are Lexus corporate, you may register LEXUS CARS.
Example
3a: If
you are a Lexus Dealer in Encino (and the only Lexus dealer in
Encino), you must register LEXUS DEALER ENCINO, not Lexus. If there
is another Lexus Dealer in Encino you must be more specific.
Example
3b: If
you are not the only Lexus Dealer in Encino, you must use one additional
keyword or unique describer (like LEXUS DEALER ENCINO 1 or LEXUS DEALER
888-255-3321 - (the numbers being your phone number).
Example
4: If
you wish to register a product name or specific product group and direct
it to a specific page, register WESTINGHOUSE DISHWASHERS or WD1234.
Your
UNIQUE INTERNET KEYWORD can send users to any web page on your
Site.
It does not necessarily have to be your home page.
It can save people hours on the phone directing people to pages within
your Site.
For Sites which cover many topics or contain many products on separate
pages,
Keyword.com Internet Keywords can be invaluable.
If only part of your unique Internet Keyword is entered at keyword.com that
includes
a word in your registered keyword phrase, a link will appear to your page.
DO
NOT REGISTER
if you do
not plan to follow the rules, have not read and understood this page, or
do not plan or have the basic web design skills to place our mini banner
on your page(s) that have Keyword.com Internet Keywords (or can have someone do this).
DO NOT REGISTER ANY GENERIC KEYWORDS.
We review and analyze each and every registration.
THE
FOLLOWING ARE NEVER ALLOWED:
- comma-separated lists of keywords in any form
- ANY generic or search-engine-type
keyword(s)
- Keywords for which you do not own the trademark
If
you even think your Internet Keyword might block others from a
typical search, DO NOT REGISTER IT. It
will be deactivated and you will no longer be allowed to re-register or
use this free service again.
If you are not sure, e-mail us at memberservices
with the subject: REG
QUESTION
Please go back Home if you plan on trying to register any generic keyword.
Register multiple Internet Keywords to DIFFERENT pages:
AS LONG
AS each is UNIQUE and each is directed to a UNIQUE and different
page on your Site with a different URLaddress.
For instance www.keyword.com
is different than www.keyword.com/cd/
and this is OK as long as both your Internet Keyword and URL it is
directed to are different.
You
can combinewords
and use_underscores
to separate words. This is allowed and a good way to avoid cancellation.
Cautions:
If
you register a generic keyword - even if the system accepts it - EVEN
ONE TIME -
we will never let you register with us again.
Be cautious since some URLs
are also generic keywords. In this case, so your registration does not
block others from searching, you must add your company name before
these. This will be explained during the registration process.
If you choose to register an acronym like ABC be aware it may later be
deactivated if it becomes a trademark or a known acronym in an industry.
You can lose
your Internet Keyword if another claims to have rights to it so be sure it is as
unique as you can make it.
Don't even think of
registering 'Microsoft' or 'Sony' or 'IBM' or similar unless you really are from
these Companies.
Even if you are Microsoft (or similar), be sure to add another modifying word to
your registration like 'Microsoft XBox' if you are registering a keyword
to the authentic Microsoft XBox page. If you are simply a dealer you
will need to add your company name and possibly more in front of it. Be
thoughtful about what you register to avoid cancellation.
Don't risk registering an
Internet Keyword that may later
become a known acronym or you risk losing it at a later date - without
notification.
Don't think we won't see
your registration. We look at each and every one - and if we feel you
are attempting to block a normal search by using generic keywords, lists
of keywords, using trademark or brand names you do not own, or not
following the directions, the game is over. We deactivate your
registration and will not let you re-register.
This free service is for intelligent
people that take their time and carefully choose their Internet
Keywords. To keep the service free we cannot tolerate registration errors.
During
the registration process we will provide you with choices. USE THEM.
Known
issues:
If
your Site uses frames...
With
a frames-based Site, you may only register one keyword.com Internet
Keyword.
Once
you agree to our terms on the next page you will be in final
registration.
It
goes quickly from here on. Be sure you understood this page. Please go back to page
one if you did not. If you do understand we look forward to serving
you!
OK!
Take me to final registration. |
