Blog an integral part of content and comms strategy
“As you know it [the blog] started out very much as an experiment, but quickly proved itself and we now consider it an integral part of our content and comms strategy. And it will become increasingly important. From very early on it earned a better Google PR than our main site even…. the organic search traffic is growing along with the SERPs, and it definitely ranks better than the rest of our site for certain keywords.”

Interview with web content guru Gerry McGovern
Web content guru Gerry McGovern, author of “Killer Content” - one of the best books on writing copy for the web - says that one of the biggest mistakes companies make in regards to their website content is thinking that customers care one little bit about the company. “Customers care about themselves (their loved ones and their community),” he said in an interview with founder and president of Netconcepts, Stephan Spencer. He went on to add that organizations need to be customer-centric, talk about benefits, and speak the language of the customer.

Immediate ROI
“We’re a search company and thought we were pretty clued up on SEO. We brought in Netconcepts, and they told us that some of our ideas on SEO were on target and others were not. They then told us about some key things that we didn’t know about. The ROI was immediate. Our only regret was not working with them sooner - they are a world leading specialist in SEO.”

Success with Email Marketing Campaigns: 10 Campaigns Critiqued for Best and Worst Practices
MarketingProfs virtual seminar series — online
For many of you, your email campaign lost the race even before it got out of the gate. Spam filters and email firewalls silently and unceremoniously junk your emails. Research has shown that fully one-third of permission-based emails don’t get delivered.
Even if your message gets past the filters, it doesn’t mean your email will be opened. Your recipients are brutal when it comes to slashing through the commercial messages clogging their inboxes. A split second decision will decide your email’s fate, based squarely on your From line and Subject line, and to a smaller extent, what’s visible in the Preview pane. After navigating these deliverability and openability hazards, you still have to get the recipient to comprehend and act on your message. A pretty tall order nowadays.
This virtual seminar is going to get “hands on” with reviews of actual email campaigns submitted by seminar attendees. Not all will be chosen, so give yourself the best chance of having your campaign critiqued: submit your entry early. Stephan is one of the most popularly and highly acclaimed MarketingProfs seminar leaders.
If you’ve ever wondered what you were doing wrong with your email marketing, or wondered what you could be doing better, then this is the seminar for you.
You will learn:
- How to write messages that are opened and read
- How to create subject lines that are the best they can be
- Best practices for your call-to-action and value proposition
- How to balance text and images
- When to use Text or HTML
- Whether your email is compliant with CAN-SPAM legislation
- Whether your messages will get past spam filters
The 90-minute seminar will include an extended Q&A.
