The project is being led by Cherokee, the leading investor in the sustainable redevelopment of brownfields. "We invited BASF to participate in this project because we were looking for a partner who understood sustainability from an inner core, corporate culture perspective and participated in the manufacturing of products that are key elements of the building science needed to establish a methodology for mainstream green homebuilding," said Jonathan Phillips, Senior Director of Cherokee. "We believe that the scientists at BASF are clearly ahead of the curve in this area." For this project, BASF chemistry enhanced products, including BASF COMFORT FOAM spray-applied insulation and air barrier; CHROMIX Admixtures for Color-Conditioned Concrete; Sherwin Williams Duron Low VOC paints; and Styropor expandable polystyrene insulating foam. The National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome will serve as an idea laboratory for thousands of homes on remediated Cherokee properties, as well as for the building industry and public at large. It will produce more energy than it demands for operational use; be made from building materials that limit air pollution during material transportation; maintain healthy indoor air quality; reuse and reduce the need for water; and will have minimal impact on the environment. "We believe that environmentally-conscious building practices go hand-in-hand with durability, energy efficiency, speed of construction and affordability," said Jack Armstrong, manager of Building and Construction Markets for BASF. "Our participation in the Mainstream GreenHome is one more component of the BASF Better Home, Better Planet™ effort designed to educate builders and home owners about the advantages of high-performance construction technologies used to build both high-end custom homes, as well as affordable homes like the ones currently under construction in devastated areas, such as post-Katrina U.S. Gulf Coast and post-tsunami Sri Lanka."

Video, audio, images, text, Powerpoint(tm) presentations, podcasts, blog entries, product brochures -- these are all media assets that can be leveraged to help company's expand their online footprint. The RichContent.tv web site provides instant uploading of content. From there RichContent's in-house media staff edits this content to create 10-second to 4 minute media blurbs. Editors then pull together or develop 4 images, a text transcript, article or press release and often a podcast. This content is tagged, branded and injected into 10 to 120 of the most visible web sites in the world. RichContent's Social Media staff perform ongoing optimization and syndication of the content to ensure the greatest syndication for each media placement. "Permanent Media Placement(tm). That's the process of distributing and optimizing media assets in a persistent way" says Mark Alan Effinger, CEO and Evangelist for RichContent Corporation. "I've always felt there was an effective way to help companies leverage their existing content to increase visibility, market reach and sales. A way to greatly extend the life of their media and get it to pay-off for them nearly forever. Permanent Media Placement does just that." Effinger is referring to distributing client content to sites that keep this media in place indefinitely. Then those content placements can be optimized through a series of processes to drive visitors, traffic, brand, clicks and sales indefinitely. "Since 2003 we've discovered some unique characteristics concerning media and the web. Characteristics that provide a roadmap to successful web content optimization and pickup" says Mr Effinger. "We developed a process called 'Content Harmony(tm)' that links each media asset together: video, images, text and audio. Then we link these assets to our client's web site. The connection between these media components, where they're placed and how they link back to the client site creates predictable, highly-leveraged results." With the search engines all developing strategies to incorporate multiple media types into search results, the process of gaining the coveted first page placement becomes more complex. The RichContent Permanent Media Placement engine is a web platform that directly addresses this new issue. Individuals, corporations, ad agencies and online marketing firms have instant access to the platform, quickly uploading their content files and completing short form fields that put RichContent media and editorial crews into action.

Mid-tone hues of fern, palm, pine and sage will be used on their own or coupled with clear blue or aqua to create a living space that conjures up a sense of outdoor-friendly living. Sandy tan and adobe brown can be intermingled to complete that earthy and eco-friendly feel. While suitable for all areas of the home, these combinations are an especially good choice for bathrooms, kitchens and family living spaces. “Sophisticated Elegance” Gaining popularity in 2008, black and white paint hues will enhance opulent living spaces filled with accessories, lighting, mirrors and rich fabrics. Silver metallics and high sheen finishes along with rich textures benefit from the sophistication of this striking palette. Zimmer suggests, “For an unexpected color punch, add cause related hues such as dramatic red or maintain the room’s classic undertones with subtle pink or taupe.” Dramatic and sophisticated, black and white is becoming the backdrop of choice for glamorous spaces. Master bedroom suites and living rooms are two of the spaces that can benefit from sophisticated elegance. “Crewel Colors” Many consumers continue to strive for simplicity in their technology-driven overloaded lifestyles and seek a return to a gentler way of life. The crewel color palette reflects consumers returning interest in crafts, home cooking and family focused activities. Like a rich and color filled needlepoint pattern, these hues add a soulful and personalized feel to any space. “Handcrafted items create a sense of stability and security and these warm, creamy rich colors will do the same in your space,” says Zimmer. Rich cranberry reds, warm browns, along with pumpkin orange help to create a nurturing and caring environment. Mix in deep-toned blue and the tapestry is complete. Crewel colors remain an excellent choice for kitchen or dining areas and can be warming, like a knitted afghan, in family spaces. “No matter which paint hue or palette attracts your individual attention, consumers continue to have an increased appreciation for paint quality and value. After all it’s a personal choice for a personal space—your home,” Zimmer says.

Mark Lindsey described how the TalkingSpeaker™ transcends other, more primitive audio players: "Combining a customized Flash™ player with our audio production and editing capabilities, the result was a heavyweight marketing 'punch' that delivered higher profits through increased conversions.

During testing on a new Dog Obedience website also built by Lindsey, it was clear that this new approach was successful in greatly extending the time of a user's visit to the site.

Since converting to Netconcepts' GravityStream search engine optimization (SEO) management tool, Cabela's has witnessed a historic increase in online sales through their natural search channel. "After fully implementing GravityStream, we saw a 20 percent increase in rankings for trophy keywords from September to January," states Derek Fortna, Cabela's Marketing Programs Manager. "The immediate benefit witnessed from this increased traffic, nearly exclusively gained through natural search, was an increase of nearly 50 percent in our online return on investment (ROI) since last year." Before partnering with Netconcepts, Cabela's deployed a minimal search engine optimization solution which allowed for only a select number of outdoor gear product pages to be optimized for natural search. With the size of Cabela's website approaching 50,000 product pages, the company required a more robust natural search solution that would allow users searching for outdoor products like "compound bows" or "riflescope accessories" to discover each of their pages. GravityStream allowed Cabela's to avoid the exhaustive effort other online retailers typically experience when rebuilding their site for optimal search performance. "The sheer quantity and volume of product offerings available on Cabela's website is the type of project GravityStream was created for," states Brian Klais, Netconcepts' Vice President of Search. The ability to fully optimize each page throughout a website without resorting to a reconstruct is a unique feature offered by GravityStream. By optimizing each page simultaneously, Google's PageRank is flowed through Cabela's site in a way that helps the site achieve higher than average natural search rankings. "GravityStream optimized each page on Cabela's site with keyword-rich content before aggressively tracking the results," states Klais. "By providing this powerfully customizable solution, we are able to ensure Cabela's achieves consistently increased rankings and infinitely ascending online sales." Netconcepts will be unveiling how they helped Cabela's increase online sales by 50% at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition starting today in San Jose, CA. About Netconcepts, LLC Netconcepts is committed to arming top Internet retailers with online strategies and technology platforms designed to increase online sales. With proprietary technology and services including GravityStream™ and GravityMarket™, online retailers will "get found" in the search engines.

Since converting to Netconcepts' GravityStream search engine optimization (SEO) management tool, Cabela's has witnessed a historic increase in online sales through their natural search channel. "After fully implementing GravityStream, we saw a 20 percent increase in rankings for trophy keywords from September to January," states Derek Fortna, Cabela's Marketing Programs Manager. "The immediate benefit witnessed from this increased traffic, nearly exclusively gained through natural search, was an increase of nearly 50 percent in our online return on investment (ROI) since last year." Before partnering with Netconcepts, Cabela's deployed a minimal search engine optimization solution which allowed for only a select number of outdoor gear product pages to be optimized for natural search. With the size of Cabela's website approaching 50,000 product pages, the company required a more robust natural search solution that would allow users searching for outdoor products like "compound bows" or "riflescope accessories" to discover each of their pages. GravityStream allowed Cabela's to avoid the exhaustive effort other online retailers typically experience when rebuilding their site for optimal search performance. "The sheer quantity and volume of product offerings available on Cabela's website is the type of project GravityStream was created for," states Brian Klais, Netconcepts' Vice President of Search. The ability to fully optimize each page throughout a website without resorting to a reconstruct is a unique feature offered by GravityStream. By optimizing each page simultaneously, Google's PageRank is flowed through Cabela's site in a way that helps the site achieve higher than average natural search rankings. "GravityStream optimized each page on Cabela's site with keyword-rich content before aggressively tracking the results," states Klais. "By providing this powerfully customizable solution, we are able to ensure Cabela's achieves consistently increased rankings and infinitely ascending online sales." Netconcepts will be unveiling how they helped Cabela's increase online sales by 50% at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition starting today in San Jose, CA.

"We are extremely pleased with our initial search engine traffic results," states Mike Feinman, PoolDawg's Director of Marketing.

Since redesigning their website with Netconcepts' GravityMarket, an Ecommerce Solution developed specifically for online retailers, PoolDawg's dramatic rise in search engine traffic has led to a remarkable boost in online sales. Pooldawg's original site suffered from several structural and functional limitations, as well as relatively low conversion rates. "As a newer company in an established market, it was extremely important to get a jump start on our search engine listings," continues Feinman.

The analysis covered best practice recommendations and a blue print for optimal execution of search engine optimization. Because of the current site limitations, Netconcepts' ultimately recommended a new site structure that would be search-friendly from the ground up. The solution was GravityMarket, Netconcepts' search optimized ecommerce solution.

While working at Google, Goldberg found that Google AdWords' clients were becoming increasingly frustrated with their inability to track specific keywords and AdWords ads to actual product sales and profits. In addition, many of his Google AdWords clients also bought ads through other paid search engine programs such as Yahoo Sponsored Search and MSN Live adCenter as well other shopping comparison engines like PriceGrabber, Shopping.com and Nextag. These companies found it virtually impossible to track, report and understand the online sales and profit performance of each of their multiple media sources, keywords, campaigns and products. Goldberg, along with other four other executives with extensive Wall Street, banking, online marketing, search engine and technology backgrounds, founded ClearSaleing, online at clearsaleing.com, with the sole mission of capitalizing on the massive market centered around search engine marketing programs, like Google AdWords, by providing desperately needed technology and processes to address these limitations and client frustrations. With its innovative online advertising tracking and reporting system, coupled with its groundbreaking profit optimization methodology, ClearSaleing has bridged the gaps from keywords to conversions to product sales to profitability that have left online advertisers scratching their heads for years. Without a technology to clearly identify profitable from unprofitable online ads, media sources, campaigns and products, advertisers risked wasting large chunks of their budget and were looking for answers as to why. The ClearSaleing system has found that on average online advertisers waste 30 percent of their budgets on unprofitable campaigns. After first identifying the specific unprofitable sources, campaigns and keywords, ClearSaleing immediately eliminates this waste, allowing advertisers to either pocket the savings or reinvest it into profitable options that further increase the return on their online marketing investment. "Our product provides in-depth campaign data tracked down to the individual keyword and product-sales level and delivers the information to our customers in an actionable dashboard, with specific recommendations to maximize PROFIT -- the only metric that matters," Goldberg said. Since its founding, the Company has successfully completed its first two rounds of funding, totaling nearly $2 million; released its initial two versions of the ClearSaleing system; launched its service to the market in October; and helped dozens of companies to begin ClearSaleing and navigate their way to increased profits and returns from Google AdWords and other online marketing investments. ###]]> Gavin Meyers Google Sales Executive Leaves to Start New Venture ClearSaleing, Inc. , an online agency that helps Internet retailers and direct marketers maximize profits from their Google AdWords and other search engine marketing and online sales campaigns.

Since its founding, the Company has successfully completed its first two rounds of funding, totaling nearly $2 million; released its initial two versions of the ClearSaleing system; launched its service to the market in October; and helped dozens of companies to begin ClearSaleing and navigate their way to increased profits and returns from Google AdWords and other online marketing investments. ###]]> 00:15:00 no adwords, google, pay per click, search engine, yahoo!, msn, adcenter, live, sem, ppc, marketing, emarketing, internet marketing, advertising, sponsored search, search engine marketing http://www.prweb.com/releases/Konica_Minolta/bizhub_360/prweb513298.htm http://www.prweb.com/releases/Konica_Minolta/bizhub_360/prweb513298.htm bizhub C550, the First in the New Product Line to Market, Offers True Color Replacement for Monochrome MFPs, Accelerates Move to Cost-Effective, Secure Digital Networked MFP Solutions [PRWeb Mar 21, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/Konica_Minolta/bizhub_360/prweb513298.htm Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:49:14 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Rachel Reed Konica Minolta Launch of Next-Generation bizhub Line Continues Advancements in Providing Network-Ready Solutions and Market Shift to Color Printing 00:15:00 no http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/3/prweb512732.htm http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/3/prweb512732.htm Deal Doubles Miller Legg's Commitment to SilkRoad's Talent Management Solutions [PRWeb Mar 20, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/3/prweb512732.htm Mon, 19 Mar 2007 15:36:34 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com talent management solutions.
