Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) June 12, 2008 -- al.com (http://www.al.com), Alabama's largest website with over 871,000 unique monthly visitors*, adds a new advertising service for clients, search engine marketing.

According to eMarketer, online advertising spending in the US continues to grow and will reach $51 billion by year 2012**. al.com is positioned to help companies stay ahead in this competitive landscape by offering search engine marketing in addition to its existing offerings of banner advertising, business directory listings, rich media with video, Web site development, email marketing, sponsorships and classifieds advertising.

al.com's Search Engine Marketing can be targeted to reach consumers locally, nationally or worldwide depending on the client's target market. The client's advertising message will appear on up to 30 national search engines such as Google and Yahoo! as well as on al.com to maximize reach to the consumer.
