<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Sounds Great! How does it Work?</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Since the word about</span> <strong>Mena</strong><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Clicks</strong></span> <span style="color: #000000;">started to circulate, we heard a lot of encouragement words and positive feedback, but we also realized how much our region is stranger to the concept even though it is very popular in other areas of the world like North America and Europe.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">To make things simpler, we have come up with a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">simple example:</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #000000;">A car manufacturer wants to promote a new car.  One of the options to promote the new car online is by placing traditional banners on high traffic websites</span><span style="color: #000000;">.</span> <strong><span style="color: #008000;">T</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #008000;">his is the static approach.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <span style="color: #000000;">A better, </span></span><span style="color: #008000;">more dynamic and engaging</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #008000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">approach is to place a “Cost Per Action” banner on high traffic or specialized websites which invites potential customers to book online a date for a test drive. For this, the Car manufacturer agrees to pay the Publisher, which refers the potential customers, a certain amount or </span></span><span style="color: #008000;">commission,</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #000000;"> <span style="color: #000000;">which is generally much higher than traditional CPC, for each appointment booked online.</span></span></span></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><em><strong><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #008000;">It sounds more engaging doesn&#8217;t it?</span></span></strong></em></strong></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-style: normal;"><br />
</span></strong></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">The role of </span><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Mena</span></strong><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Clicks</strong></span> <span style="color: #000000;">is <strong><span style="color: #008000;">to be the middle entity</span></strong> between the car manufacturer and all the potential Websites and Blogs and to provide all parties with the tracking codes and the conversion information.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Note: CPC stands for <a title="CPC Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click" target="_blank">Cost Per Click</a> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.menaclicks.com/wp-admin/www.menaclicks.com"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-266  alignleft" title="photo_9265_20091029" src="http://www.menaclicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/photo_9265_20091029-150x150.jpg" alt="photo_9265_20091029" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">This is officialy our first post. We have been in the market for a long time but we recently decided to launch something that focuses on our region.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Performance Based</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">marketing is not new, but it is something that the </span><strong><span style="color: #008000;">MENA</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> region has not fully adopted yet. We are more used to use traditional Online Advertising , Cost Per Click and Search Engine Optimization to make money online or promote our products. </span><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Affiliate Marketing or CPA</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> (Cost Per Action) is another way to do Online Advertising. Ideally, whether you are an Advertiser or a Publisher you should be using a mix of those online marketing tools to maximize your results. </span><span style="color: #000000;">It is up you to find the right mix. Our role is to help you achieve your </span><strong><span style="color: #008000;">FULL</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> potential!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Welcome Aboard and we hope that you enjoy working with Us.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">The MenaClicks Team</span></p>
