| LabX Connects Sellers to Search Engine Ad Campaigns | Print |
LabX has introduced an advanced advertising feature, which improves LabX auction seller exposure in search engines (SE).

This creates additional exposure for their LabX listing while eliminating the expensive time costs involved for a seller to set up and administer their own SE marketing campaign. The SE listing campaigns draw upon LabX expertise and historical data for the appropriate keyword strategy. Ken Piech, General Manager said, “LabX has always provided scientific product sellers with the best exposure for their products. Our new LabX search engine marketing system helps a seller gain more exposure than ever before.” | |

| What Is LabVista? | Print |
Search tens of thousands of items from dealer web pages. Items are updated frequently so you are always searching fresh data. Many of these pages are not in any other search engine. LabX technology was created to "spider" or extract the data from Vendor Web pages and collect the equipment, to allow users to search various websites from one single portal. While LabX strives to find the premiere sources of equipment on the Internet, because these listings come straight from the Web, LabX is not responsible for the accuracy or quality of the content. | |
