  • Publication number: 20070233566
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to a system and method for facilitating cooperative search engine marketing among business entities and their respective channel partners. Embodiments of the invention permit such business enterprises to easily create and distribute approved advertisements and campaign templates, allocate and track the usage of market development funds, monitor the results of sponsored search advertising campaigns instituted by their channel partners, and streamline the reimbursement process for market development funds (MDF). The enterprise may begin the process by creating “ready-made” advertisements and keyword lists with pre-approved content, which helps the enterprise protect brand identity and ensure consistent messaging while making the process of initiating a paid search campaign much easier for the channel partner.
