Online Webinars
Online webinars are a way to support the 3 main goals set by
Equifax for 2010 on one platform
• By providing information, answering questions, and promoting Equifax
products, webinars are the perfect social vehicle
Things to keep in mind:
• A webinar schedule needs to be created so consumers know when to
expect new webinars
• Distribution strategies need to be fleshed out for pre-webinar promotion
as well as post-webinar video distribution (exclusive vs. availability)
• Online webinars will not be successful as stand-alone social vehicles;
cross promotion & content population will suffer without other vehicles
2
Video/YouTube
Video distribution is another way for Equifax to get their message in
front of a captive audience
• Wide video distribution is also fairly easy since video assets will be
created for Q&A and webinars
Things to keep in mind:
• Video distribution only works if regular video assets are created &
distributed so that users have new content to consume on a regular basis
• Video optimization will help with SEO, as search engines are highlighting
video wherever it makes sense
Q&A type videos which are short and answer specific questions are often
featured on the 1st page of search results
• Video distribution is a supporting vehicle and cannot exist without other
tactics
3
Equifax Resource Center
An Equifax Resource Center located within Equifax.com will act as a
place to house all of the useful information we are providing across
the social web
• Provides content to users on the site, but it will also support SEO as well
as give Equifax a place to drive information-hungry consumers, putting
them even closer to the conversion funnel
Things to keep in mind:
• This Resource Center is not a stand-alone strategy. Instead, this simply
houses all the information long-term so that users & search engines have
a place to find the wealth of knowledge that Equifax provides
• Updated content is a must, as having fresh information keeps the
resource center relevant
• This can be RSS supported so users are fed information as it is created
4
SEO Strategy
Equifax’s SEO strategy is now one that is fragmented between
multiple storefronts
• Because of this, an all-encompassing, cross-storefront strategy will need
to be managed
Equifax as a portal for credit products, knowledge & general information on all
product industries
Debt Wise & ID Patrol as product & category focused SEO sites
• As new sites, these will need additional attention, specifically with link building
• BKV is currently consulting with Equifax regarding specific SEO tactics for optimal
rankings
• Continued SEO efforts for the new storefronts will be important to increase free traffic for
both branded and un-branded terms
6
SEM Integration
SEM strategies, including Search, SEO & Social Media all work in
tandem, so leveraging these different types of media to work
together is BKV’s #1 goal
Social Media
• Leveraged for SEO link building
SEO
• Works in tandem with Search to leverage high-cost or struggling
keywords
• Supports Social Media by driving free, relevant search traffic
Search
• Supported by SEO to drive free traffic through organic results
• Social Media drives additional free traffic, saving PPC costs
7
SEO Learning
Since September 08, there is an average drop of 9 positions in
Search Engine Ranking Positions (SERP) over tracked keywords
from highest ranking to current ranking
Brand terms rank well, in the first position in all tracked terms
Based on top converting keywords in Paid Search, there is need for
SEO optimization on certain terms that are not on first page listings
• fico, credit report score(s), identity theft protection, my fico score, free
fico, credit score and credit report information.
Sitemap concerns still remain as it does not allow engine spiders to
crawl site completely

Assumes 98% vs. 2% split between Sub and Trans sales. Based on actual product mix sold from Sept 08 TV
campaign.
DRTV History
DRTV was first tested as a lead-generation vehicle in July of 2009
• Small test to determine which spot markets would be respond to a debt
offer and to measure the strongest communication format (:60 or :120)
Nationwide rollout is currently underway with a large buy across
cable and local
• Campaign has proven to be a great awareness vehicle for Debt Wise
lifting sales across all media
• Has turned out to be the best performing TV campaign for the year
Lowest Cost Response and CPA/Sub
Drives Debt Wise sales specifically (almost 100% of sales are for Debt Wise)
15
DRTV Objectives
With the creation of a new storefront , a microsite that places its sole
emphasis on “debt-related” help, BKV recommends using TV (in
conjunction with other media) to:
Drive awareness for this sub-brand
Drive new customers / sales to the DebtWise.com website
• We might even be able to create a Halo effect for Equifax.com. This is to
be determined
Reach a new audience; steal share from other “debt-related”
companies
• This goes hand-in-hand with awareness; trying to compete against “debt
reduction/consolidation” clutter
Create momentum and impact the start of 2010
Support other Debt Wise ad programs
16
DRTV Strategy
Utilize a combination of :30s, :60s, and :120s
• We know that the :120 spot lengths are most responsive and are most
cost effectively placed at the local market level
• Adding a :30, in addition to the :60, allows us to utilize national cable to
build frequency and broaden the reach of the offering
Campaign will be flighted to maximize impact at the start of 2010
and sustain momentum for Debt Wise through Q2

21
DRTV Creative Strategy
Utilize “Debt On Your Mind” spot
• Test less emphasis on Equifax brand in spot; only include at the end
Test new spot that creates more negative light on the problem of
debt
• Create problem/solution; more emphasis on “not debt consolidation”
Create a :30 version (any Debt Wise spot), to allow us to place more
inventory and help build awareness
Include TFNs on all Debt Wise spots (versions)
• This category tends to drive calls to help fulfill needs; Call Center
currently converting 15% of the calls into sales
22
DRTV Creative Strategy
Test a “freemium”
• Because this product does not appear to have any price breaks (creating
a “savings offer”), utilizing an appropriate give-away could increased
response
Test the CTA
• Instead of responding to “order now”; include a lead CTA that allows
people to call / go online for more information. More information (online)
can include customer testimonials and debt-payoff calculator (to show the
person, with real numbers, how the product works)
Makes conversion process more “2-step”-oriented; substantiated by the large %
of clicks to the demo (on our Landers) and the number of calls with product-
related questions
Subsequently, allows us to create a new segment for CRM efforts
23
DRTV Creative Strategy
Include credit card images on art card, to help filter out those without
CCs
Utilize **Codes in the CTA
Integrate with other mediums to create a unified campaign

Paid Search History
Given that this was a brand-spanking-new campaign, Debt Wise
encountered high CPCs and lower CTRs and CRs since entering
the Debt/Money Management category
• With campaign optimization and DRTV we’ve made some healthy
improvement – but we’re not there yet!
Majority of product sales (approx 85%) generated from Debt Wise
and Equifax brand terms
Debt Wise “Debt” terms continue to have a small SOV within the
category
28
Paid Search Strategies
Create awareness in the debt reduction/freedom market as we are
unknown in this space
• Marketplace cluttered with competitors
Manage CPA/Sub in the $300-$200 range during Q1/Q2 as product
awareness continues to build
• Through ongoing testing and optimization CPA/Sub should get closer to
goal latter part of the year
Increase media spend levels to capture SOV online and increased
impressions from brand building campaigns
• Support DRTV momentum and online brand awareness with increased
spend levels during flights
• New media efforts to reach Struggler market
29
Paid Search Tactics
As outlined within the Equifax.com plan, we’ll incorporate the
following tactics:
• Bing/MSN Restructure
• Social Chatter Monitoring
• Expand Reach w/ Ask.com and Advertise.com
• MSN Content
• Google Search Funnel
• Yahoo Search Retargeting
30
Paid Search Tactics
If the following tactics test well for Equifax.com, we’ll consider
testing in Debt Wise
• Dart Search Platform
• Yahoo RAIS
• Bing Cashback
• YouTube Promoted Video
• Mobile Search
• Google Content w/ FICO Overlay
• Attribution Models
Not tested until latter part of year (after data builds up)
31
Lead Generation
As with TV, develop a 2-step order process to increase conversions
• Generate hand raisers for more info about Debt Wise
• Develop conversion communication program via CRM
Message 1: Did you know the average amount of debt per household is $XX?
Equifax Debt Wise customers reduce their Debt faster saving thousands in
interest
Message 2: Savings Calculator
Message 3: Spend Right Tools
Newsletters, etc.
32
Double Listing
Shift Debt Wise paid search traffic to DebtWise.com/TBD
Stronger quality score
Helps build traffic for storefront
Utilize Equifax.com and DebtWise.com for double-listing on brand
terms
Continue second listing on Equifax core and brand terms
Replacing Equifaxproducts.com w/ Debtwise.com listing
Edge out competitors on side rail
33
Creative Testing
Create specific landing pages for high volume, low conversion terms
• Suggested terms: Calculator, Credit Consolidation
Continue T&D Testing:
• Paying Holidays Bills Test in Q1
• Test “Powered by Equifax” versus no mention of Equifax in T&D
• Use “Learn More” about the product
“Get Debt Freedom Now with Debt Wise Learn More”
34
Google Day Parting & Content
Test Day parting on Google to determine if increased CPCs during
peak purchase times will garner incremental sales
• Roll out to additional engines if successful
Continue Google “themed” content testing
• Groupings of similar or “themed” keywords are incorporated into ad
groups
35
Debt Wise – Social Media Strategy
Debt Wise social media strategy will cater to those seeking a deeper
understanding of the Debt Wise product as well as specific
information regarding debt and financial management strategies
Information in Debt Wise’s social media strategy will be:
• 85% debt focused
• 10% credit focused
• 5% identity theft focused
Focusing on debt related topics allows Debt Wise to stand out as a
trustworthy consumer knowledge center about debt while providing
education on how debt, credit and even identity theft are intertwined

DRTV History
ID Patrol has only been tested on TV for one short week in January
of 2009
• While it did not drive more sales than the Core credit offering, it still
performed well
0.002% response Rate
1.47% conversion Rate (higher conversion than credit offering)
With stronger messaging, ID Patrol could prove to generate high
awareness and reach through TV
44
DRTV Objectives
With the creation of a new storefront – a microsite that will solely
emphasize the need for “total identity protection”, BKV recommends
using TV to:
Drive awareness for this new sub-brand
• Potential to create halo traffic for Equifax.com
Drive new customers / sales to the IDPatrol.com website
Reach new audiences; steal share from some of the other ID
protection companies
Support other ID Patrol ad programs
45
DRTV Strategy
Campaign flighted for Q2 and Q3
• Allows time for new commercial production and to maximize exposure for
Equifax into Q3 (when all other TV is off)
Initially test spot lengths and offer in 10-12 local spot markets
Test a variety of affiliates and dayparts
Test market sizes
Apply learning from test to rollout strategy for the remainder of Q2
and into Q3
• If :120s are the winner, deploy spot market strategy, similar to tactics
deployed for DebtWise.com
• Supplement local market :120s with :60s, :30s on National Cable

Protectors
Employ a mixture of :30s and :60s
50
Tactical Overview: Rollout Local Spot
If we see that the :120s (from the initial test phase) are most
responsive and cost-efficient, we’d employ a strategy that includes
Local Spot
Mixture of Local Spot, supported by the National Cable awareness
Similar to what’s being used for Sept09 Debt Wise (TV), with the notion that

Radio History
BKV has used Radio in the past to help drive awareness and
incremental sales
• Tested Google Audio platform – not successful; lack of “control” over
placement of spots
• Tested Satellite Radio (XM) – limited success; drove a fair amount of
Lander visits, while providing extremely low CPMs (very efficient)
• Tested traditional DR-buy – more successful; allowing us to place spots in
more DR-responsive formats and dayparts
Radio should only be used in conjunction with TV (for awareness
and incrementality to other trackable mediums)
57
Radio Strategy
Utilize another mass reach medium to raise
awareness and generate sales of
IDPatrol.com
Deploy radio in conjunction with TV to
enhance overall reach and frequency within
