This site is a website by Elysian Systems. It has two purposes:
- Firstly, to give something back to the community by helping parents find childcare that suits their needs
We're always trying to think of how we can improve the site - please let us know if you have any ideas on how the site could be more useful to you, or any questions generally.
- Secondly to allow the childcare industry to know that Elysian is available to help them.
Are you a child care provider and this Index is outranking your site? This is because you are a professional childcare provider, while we are Internet Marketing professionals - we know how to get sites to the top of the rankings and what a site needs to generate leads once people have found it.
Do you need some help getting your website to perform in a competitive marketplace? Contact us to discuss how we can improve how your site is working for you - we've done enough work in the child care sector that we know what a site needs!
Advertising
There are 3 ways to advertise on this site:
- If you have a child care service which is not yet listed here, or has incorrect details, we'd love to update our listing - please consider Adding your site to the Australian Child Care Index
- If your child care service has incorrect details, we'd love to update our listing - please go to the entry and click on "Edit this entry" below the details
- If you would like more general advertising on the site, we are running two different schemes. If you provide products or services which you think would be of interest to:
- people who are looking for child care,
- people who provide child care (it seems a lot of center owners keep an eye on whats happening here), or
- people who work in the childcare industry,
then we are happy to have you advertise here.
- The right hand skyscraper banner is provided by Project Wonderful. They bring a model of transparency and fairness to online advertising. Ads are sold through the innovative infinite auction model: you bid on an advertising slot, and for as long as you are the high bidder, your ad is displayed. You can bid whatever price you'd like for as long as you'd like: two days, a week, a year - it's your choice.
All bids are in "CPD", or "cost per day" - you simply tell us how much you're willing to pay for a day's worth of advertising, and whenever you are the high bidder, your ad will be displayed! You're only charged for the time periods when your ad is shown. You can also set hard expense limits on your bids, so you'll never get charged more than you expect.
(This advertising scheme is currently being trialed for New South Wales listings.) - Google Adwords provides the advertising in the centre advertising block.
Sign up with Google Adwords and target The Australian Child Care Index. We recommend them.
No website? No problem - apparently, signing up for Google Adwords includes a free landing page (for new advertisers) that will let people know more about your offerings and contact you.
