In addition to low-end appliances, office supplies, and jewelry, Wal-Mart-owned Sam's Club is now offering its primarily small-business customers online advertising and search engine optimization services.

The services are part of its Online Services business, as spotted by Valleywag.

For $25 a month, Sam's Club will work to improve the ranking of a Web site on search engines, and for $50 a month a company can get pay-per-click advertising services. Sam's Club also offers Web site design and e-commerce services. Who knew?!

The online services are provided by Innuity, whose Web site looks a lot smarter than Sam's Club's does.
