President Carter’s blogging experience

“As a means of raising the profile of The Carter Center and driving traffic to our Web site, Stephan Spencer suggested that President Carter write a blog. We took that suggestion, developed a strategy around a trip to the West African countries of Togo, Ghana, and Mali, and posted regular blogs from President Carter (with photos, sidebars and news stories, and links to related material on our site) over the course of eight days. Although he had written reports from the field on previous trips, this was his first experience with the blogging phenomenon and he was eager to participate.

The blogs, which we marketed via press releases, through partner organization Web sites, and via the Google AdWord program, garnered significant increases in visits to our site, resulting in an average quadruple our normal daily average. We have sustained a significant increase in Web traffic since February 2004, building on the momentum of the blog project, which we intend to repeat both with President Carter and others here at the Center.

We are grateful to Stephan for planting the seed for one of the most successful Web projects The Carter Center has undertaken to-date.”

Orders increasing, search engine rankings soaring, science company takes off

“DO NOT use Netconcepts unless you want to significantly increase your orders, watch your search engine rankings soar, or work with a team of experienced professionals who truly understand what it takes to market and sell your products on the web.

We could not be more pleased with the incredible service and marketing value Netconcepts brought to our company. I highly recommend the Netconcepts audit as it provided us with an excellent working document. Their recommendations provided a blueprint for the design and implementation of our website and continues to serve as a document that I frequently reference as the basis of our internet marketing plan. I would need to hire another full-time person just to implement all of their suggestions. The audit exposed our weaknesses and provided us with valuable recommendations to achieve our desired goal - to increase our web sales!

Above everything else, I am most pleased with the people behind Netconcepts. Throughout the entire project, promises were kept and expectations were exceeded. CEO Jody Hartwig and her team listened to our every concern and went out of their way to implement our ideas. Throughout the entire project, their advice was right on target.

Here’s the bottom line - we finally found an internet design company who places value on marketing instead of website eye-candy. Our site just launched three weeks ago and we are already seeing an increase in traffic and search engine ranking. We can only hope that our competitors never uncover the marketing weapon we have in Netconcepts. Shhhh!”
