International Security Software Firm Astaro Selects icrossing as SEM Partner

Sept. 27 - icrossing, the leading search engine marketing firm, announced today that Astaro, the international security software firm, has selected them to be their Search Engine Marketing partner. Astaro understands that if your firm does not appear on the first three pages of major search engines, it is virtually invisible to the typical Internet user. Astaro has made a strategic commitment to use icrossing's integrated services to dramatically increase its search engine visibility with the goals of driving additional traffic and qualified purchasers to their site.

"We realize that a significant number of prospective clients use search engines in the process of researching and selecting security software." said Dan Bierbrauer, Director of Marketing at Astaro. He further stated "It is critical to Astaro that these prospective clients come to our site, understand our outstanding value proposition, demo and ultimately purchase our software. We're confident that icrossing will help us take maximum advantage of this customer generating opportunity."

"Astaro gives icrossing the opportunity once again to demonstrate its proven Natural Search Optimization methodology and world class customer service is superior" said Thomas Capato, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "But the ultimate results will be measured by icrossing's ability to provide Astaro with natural search visitors that are qualified and much targeted sales opportunities."
