Zusätzlicher Aufwand für Publikationen Ihrer Webseite entfällt
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Internet, e-Commerce
The company provides a service improving where your business appears in the search engine rankings. This phrase appears in the list of benefits (e.g. more potential visitors to your homepage, website easier to find, etc.). My problem is with the word "Publikationen" here. It seems like it should mean "No extra effort required to publicise your website" (i.e. the improved search engine ranking is the best advertising). But Publikationen is a noun here, clearly... Any ideas?!?

German term (edited):
Zus�tzlicher Aufwand f�r Publikationen Ihrer Webseite entf�llt
Selected
publicise
This is simply bad German here I think. What they mean is that you don't need to make any additional effort to publicise the site as they do it all for you. You just sit back, smoke your cigar and watch the counter on your site go into hyperspace.

your website publications at no additional cost/expense
Aufwand can means both, 'cost, expense' or 'effort'.
It is not really clear from the text you provided, but in the case 'Aufwand' means 'effort' here, then your version would be correct.
You could also say: 'No extra effort involved for your website publications'
