Fortune 500 Company Adopts WordPress To Answer Credit Questions

Countrywide’s CreditDemystified.com Isn’t a Blog, or Is It?

MADISON, WI (Janaury 17, 2007) Web development companies are increasingly recognizing the potential of WordPress as a content management system (CMS). CreditDemystified.com, an educational site developed for Countrywide Home Loans, illustrates how a corporate microsite can successfully be adapted to the blog platform.

The microsite, developed by Netconcepts, is designed to help visitors become credit savvy by providing simple answers to credit questions. Although the microsite’s platform is WordPress, CreditDemystified.com is far from a traditional blog.

Countrywide Home Loans chose to work with Netconcepts because of the company’s experience developing search engine optimal sites (SEO).

“The SEO benefits of WordPress are obvious,” said Stephan Spencer, Netconcepts’ Founder and President. “‘Powered by WordPress’ is a phrase seen on millions of blogs. But one wouldn’t normally associate that phrase with any other type of website other than a blog. I predict that’s about to change as search marketers begin to appreciate the SEO benefits of running WordPress on microsites.”

Netconcepts’ own corporate site switched from a home-grown CMS to WordPress in August 2006 and showed a significant increase in traffic in the following months. Based on this experience, Netconcepts designed CreditDemystified.com to take full advantage of WordPress’ SEO power.

“We’ve equipped the site with all the SEO goodies like a tag cloud, tag pages, RSS, my SEO Title Tag plugin, and Technorati tags. One breakthrough was adapting the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin to handle static pages, and not just posts,” Spencer continued.

The directive for Netconcepts’ website and SEO design team was simple, create a search engine optimized site using WordPress that doesn’t look like a blog.

CreditDemystified.com, designed to make credit information accessible and easily understood by visitors at a glance, has a wealth of credit related content covering credit repair to debt management. For many consumers, the topic of credit can be dull or intimidating, so the site includes fun and quick review elements such as the Credit Intelligence Quiz (CQ Quiz). The quiz provides a score, and includes useful information for participants to improve their credit knowledge.

Lost Shoppers Found by E-retailers Using Long Tail Dynamics

MADISON, WI (December 21, 2006) Lost shoppers are being found through unbranded keyword searches by the e-commerce clients of Netconcepts, a global Web technology company specializing in natural search optimization consulting and search-friendly E-Business design. Netconcept’s clients are increasing their e-retail traffic through natural search optimizations that don’t depend on “brand name” keywords.

Netconcepts released a white paper last month, “Chasing the Long Tail of Natural Search,” which details the dynamics of the long tail phenomena and how e-commerce marketers can capture unbranded keyword searches. The study reveals the compelling truth that the unbranded market opportunity is 40 times richer than branded searches.

“Chasing the Long Tail of Natural Search” provides a framework to help merchants answer questions such as: how to capture this market, what type of traffic they should anticipate, and how to estimate the “unbranded keyword” market potential. The white paper is available at no charge on the company’s website.

“Consumers searching the Internet for products frequently know what they want to buy, but don’t include any particular brand in their search query. They often enter basic keywords such as ‘athletic shoes’ or ‘gift baskets,’” said Brian Klais, Vice President, Search. “For the average merchant we studied, there are roughly 7,000,000 unbranded keyword searches conducted per month. To capture these searches, we work with our clients to optimize their websites using long tail dynamics and a new set of key performance indicators (KPI). Our white paper details the concept of the long tail and provides the who, what, where and why this is important to marketers.”
