Adhering to Web Development and Search Engine Marketing Best Practices Are Key Components to Driving and Converting Qualified Traffic

January 21, 2010 WESTBOROUGH, MA – Wakefly, an innovative, award-winning web development and online marketing firm, today announced the successful launch of a campaign geared toward life sciences companies, including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical devices, and contract research organizations (CRO). The goal of the campaign is to help life sciences marketers maximize their company’s website and online marketing ROI.  Learn more about how Wakefly’s services will help life sciences companies maximize their website and online marketing ROI.

Many life sciences companies are beginning to embrace social media due to the increasing popularity of the Internet as a research tool. In fact, a survey fielded by The Science Advisory Board and co-sponsored by BioInformatics, LLC and PJA Advertising + Marketing, found that 77 percent of life scientists participate in some type of social media, including blogs, podcasts, wikis, Twitter and Facebook. This survey also found that 72% of life scientists consider company websites to be the most trusted source of information for their purchasing decision.

“The first step to become a winner in this paradigm shift in life sciences marketing is to ensure that you have a website that can be found by your target market”, said Jeff Demers, Wakefly’s search engine marketing practice group leader. “The next step is to build a dynamic, engaging website that encourages visitors to reach to you.”

To help life sciences companies launch websites that deliver a positive ROI, a s part of the campaign, Wakefly is offering a free, customized, comprehensive search engine marketing assessment. In addition, Wakefly’s search engine marketing team will conduct a 30 minute conference call with each respondent to flesh out the assessment’s findings and recommendations.

Wakefly’s search engine marketing assessment looks at five key areas for successful online marketing, and provides up to 10 concrete recommendations to improve your website and online marketing ROI. We look at:

1. Usability and Navigation:

a. Is each page no more than a few clicks away from the home page?

b. Is your home page the page with the highest exit and bounce rates?

2. Search Engine Visibility:

a. Are all the pages within your site indexable by the search engines?

b. Have you identified keywords that your target market is actually using to find solutions like yours?

c. Are the correct keywords being utilized in all the right places?

3. Converting Visitors into Qualified Opportunities:

a. Has your analytics been installed properly?

b. Do you have appealing offers on all your sub pages?

4. Design:

a. Does your home page do a good job of telling the visitor who the company is/what it does?

b. Does the look and feel of the website lend credibility?

The Internet has become the resource to find medical information. Nearly everyone begins their search for medical information with Google, Yahoo, Bing or another search engine. In preparing each free, customized search engine marketing assessment, Wakefly’s search engine marketing team looks at the key components to getting one’s site indexed in the search engines and found by one’s target audience. The assessment also looks at whether website visitors are converting into opportunities, and if not, will tell you why. The recommendations contained in Wakefly’s assessment are customized and specific to your individual website; no cookie cutter, canned report here.

This campaign will provide life sciences marketers with the information necessary to maximize their website and online marketing ROI.

Boston, MA (FPN) –  January 11, 2010 — It’s January now, and for many men, that means the same thing: Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.  For some, this presents another opportunity to let your beloved know how much she means to you.  For others, this means  that you have another chance to make up for your substandard Christmas gift.

In either case, your best chance for success is to get your beloved diamond jewelry.  Diamond jewelry is the best and clearest way to let your wife, fiance, or girlfriend know just how much you love them.  But with anything so expensive, and perhaps especially with diamonds, you need to fully educate yourself before you buy.  There are many unscrupulous jewelry sellers out there just waiting to prey on the uneducated diamond consumer.

Here are some quick tips to ensure that you get the best quality diamond available at the best price possible:

1) Buy online.  I know it might sound frieghtening spending thousands of dollars on a small piece of jewelry without seeing the actual product.  But the simple fact is that there are dozens of very highly regarded websites selling high quality diamond jewelry these days.  Each one is significantly cheaper than your typical bricks & mortar diamond jewelry establishment and the quality is usually nicer.

2) Don’t go overboard with diamond color and diamond clarity.  Out of the “four Cs” of diamond grading that everyone learns about, the two that least affect the physical appearance of the diamond are color and clarity.  Differences between adjacent color grades are extremely fine, and usually cannot be detected when the diamond is set face-up in jewelry.  The range of color that best balances a white appearance with value is H-I.  Likewise with clarity - once a diamond is clean to the naked eye, there is no added benefit to the diamond’s beauty to upgrading in clarity.  A diamond can’t become more “eye-clean.” It either is, or it isn’t.  So your best bet is look for an SI1 or SI2 diamond clarity graded stone.

Following these tips, your are sure to have a happy (and successful!) Valentine’s Day!
