San Diego, CA January 28, 2008 — Leading search marketing software firm Engine Ready, Inc., announced the receipt of an industry coveted award recognizing their leadership in managing paid search accounts. Microsoft awarded Engine Ready with the exclusive “adExcellence” certificate signifying that Engine Ready has attained expert status in managing paid search accounts.

“We are very excited that Engine Ready has been granted the adExcellence Certification, in return for our contributions of testing, documenting, and providing feedback to Microsoft regarding their AdCenter technology,” reports Engine Ready’s Senior Search Marketing Manager Mike Poserina.

It’s the combination of our depth of experience in search marketing and web analytics that makes us uniquely qualified to meet our client’s needs.”

Sean McCormick started his business this past September, but is already looking ahead five years when he hopes its revenues top $25 million. Then he’ll sell it and start a new business – although he doesn’t know what that one will be quite yet. “Six years from now I’ll have another idea,” he said. “There’s so much developing in the interactive space every day that the next thing isn’t close to being created yet.”

Norwalk, CT January 24, 2008 — Sean McCormick started his business this past September, but is already looking ahead five years when he hopes its revenues top $25 million. Then he’ll sell it and start a new business – although he doesn’t know what that one will be quite yet. “Six years from now I’ll have another idea,” he said. “There’s so much developing in the interactive space every day that the next thing isn’t close to being created yet.”

Right now, mobile marketing – sending text messages to cell phones – “is kind of a buzz word when it comes to a marketing strategy,” he said. “I think that in the next five years it won’t be just a buzz word, but will be a mature industry. And it might be the next thing for me to get into after this business.”

His idea for his current business came last summer when “I started reading articles and saw that a lot of companies being purchased by Google, Microsoft and Yahoo were performance-based marketing companies,” he said. “I saw a large rift in the marketplace for mid-level companies – companies from $5 million to $30 million in sales. The companies Microsoft and Google bought were only servicing the Fortune 500 companies, which left a huge rift in the marketplace for small- and medium-sized businesses to engage in online performance marketing.”

That’s where he’s focusing his 4-month-old business that, he said, achieved profitability at the end of December, just three months after he started. “My goal was to break even within the first year and have 10 employees to service our clients, but I’ll have 15 to 20 employees by then,” he said. “My goal was to have revenues around $2.5 million the first year, but we’re on pace to surpass that – it’s hard to say by how much right now.”

The 26-year-old McCormick calls his company Ifficient because, he said, he’s ensuring his clients’ Internet advertising budgets work in the interactive space (the “I”) efficiently. “Companies are buying banner advertising without optimizing their marketing campaign to ensure the highest click-through rate,” he said. “Everything we do has a performance initiative behind it, and if our clients aren’t happy with the results, they’re able to cancel the campaign at any moment.”
So far, none of McCormick’s 35 clients have canceled their Internet marketing campaigns, he said. Those clients range from online universities to consumer package goods to clothing retailers. “We’re helping them increase their prospect database by putting targeted campaigns on Web sites that allow a user to request more information about a product.”

To do that, McCormick has merged online marketing with some spiffy technology that he said does two things. “The first is that it monetizes Web sites, which means Web sites can earn additional income by partnering with us to integrate our ad serving into their Web page,” he said. “The second thing is that the technology validates the user that signs up for one of our advertising offers. It checks the e-mail address to make sure it’s valid, matches up with the USPS database to ensure the address is valid, and validates the telephone number to make sure it’s a real number.”

Competitors “are doing this, but not the extent that we are,” he said. “We have a bunch of different databases that we subscribe to that allows us to check e-mail addresses, addresses and phone numbers.”

Lifestyle business
McCormick grew up in Wilton, working in his parent’s small chain of pet stores in New Canaan, Darien and Stamford “doing anything from cleaning fish tanks to closing the books at the end of the day to managing a staff of seven employees in the Darien store.” What the experience taught him was that “I didn’t want to be in retail,” he said. “It’s really hard to build a franchise when you’re competing with large department stores. I would prefer to build something that’s unique and really provides a service to clients.”

He got a taste of that while he was attending the University of Rhode Island and started two small summer businesses with friends. “One was an odd-jobs company here in Fairfield County, raking leaves, making dump runs, doing cleaning-up projects.” The business was called The 25th Hour, “that last hour you wish you had in the day to get everything done.”

Myriad choices for Web Analytics remain, especially in Europe and UK

Silver Spring, Md January 15, 2008 — CMS Watch, a vendor-independent analyst firm that evaluates content technologies, today rejected the snowball of hype suggesting that Google Analytics and Omniture are the only remaining solid choices for Web Analytics. For mid-sized and larger enterprises in particular, and buyers in the UK and Europe, there are many established vendors who can provide advanced analytics functionality.

This analysis stems from the 2008 edition of the Web Analytics Report, released today by CMS Watch, which evaluates 15 major Web Analytics suppliers based on extensive vendor research, interviews with customers across a range of industry sectors, and hands-on testing of solutions.

“The web analytics marketplace has seen some instability and consolidation — such as ClickTracks and SageMetrics being acquired by larger entities, and Omniture’s imminent acquisition of Visual Sciences — and this has led some to believe that web analytics has become a two-party system,” said Phil Kemelor, lead analyst for the report. “But don’t believe the hype that Google Analytics and Omniture are your only choices, because that’s hardly the case.”

While Omniture is the largest pure-play web analytics firm and Google has brand cachet, CMS Watch research finds that enterprises can select from a broad selection of established vendors that work well in diverse scenarios and can scale as web site traffic grows. Moreover, Microsoft is planning to enter this space later in 2008. “Especially with Microsoft’s looming entrance, the Web Analytics marketplace is far from limited,” Kemelor added.

Adding a public web forum to a website is one of the best ways to easily acquire lots of targeted niche traffic. If you don’t have a decent amount of traffic (150+ visits/day) or a good sized list of emails (150+) don’t bother starting a forum. Nothing looks worse than an inactive forum. It is best to have around 500 leads and a $400 budget to start a forum. If you don’t have the traffic, or you can’t afford to buy the traffic required to start a web form, don’t spend the time setting one up.

What Forum Software Should I Use?

It is important to choose a software that will allow your forum community to grow. I have the most experience with Invision Power Board and I recommend using it in almost all situations.

If you can spare a few bucks, buy Invision Power Board(IPB) or vBulletin. They are both excellent web forum programs and in the end they will be worth the investment. Invision Power Board is more complicated to use, but it is full featured and more end user friendly. vBulletin is cheaper and easier to administer but offers less usability. Both vBulletin and IPB have excellent documentation and support.
