TMCnet News

Norwalk, CT (March 31, 2008) Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC (News - Alert)) today announced that its Web site, TMCnet (www.tmcnet.com), currently hosts 100 live industry-specific online communities on behalf of clients and sponsors. TMC is an integrated global media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online.

TMCnet communities are built in two specific formats: Global Online Communities (GOCs), and Industry Channels.

Global Online Communities (GOCs) are robust editorial platforms, built with layer upon layer of content in multiple media formats. Each GOC focuses on a specific area of the market, and is populated and designed in conjunction with its sponsor. GOCs are vibrant communities that, over time, achieve very high rankings on leading search engines. Based on the extreme focus of their content and resources, GOCs are bookmarked by decision-makers who join these communities seeking news, product information, and partnership opportunities. All GOCs are highlighted on TMCnet, appearing in the top tabs on each page of the site—including the TMCnet home page.

Most recently, TMCnet launched the Hosted Communications Community in conjunction with its sponsor, Speakeasy (News - Alert). TMC’s highly successful Contact Center Research community achieved 400,000 page views in February 2008 according to Webtrends. Other GOCs include Rich Media, Mobile VoIP, IP Communications, and more.

TMC's channel program is a community-building vehicle assisting our partners in building their brands. Each channel features a specific topic in the IP

Communications, VoIP, IP Telephony, CRM, Call Center and/or Information Technology industry.

TMCnet’s most recent channel launch is the Email Server, sponsored by Ipswitch (News - Alert). Other channel topics covered include IP PBX, VoIP Call Center, Business Phone Service, e911 and more.

“Over the past decade, TMCnet has become the accepted resource for news, product research and analysis in communications and technology markets. Moreover, the site has become the defacto location online where companies build loyal communities of interest on a variety of topics,” explained Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), TMC president.

“These communities have proven time and again to be one of the most successful products TMC has ever launched in conjunction with our advertisers and sponsors. With an astronomical renewal rate of 70 percent year-over-year, TMCnet communities drive tremendous traffic to our partner's Web sites and help them achieve higher levels of search prominence,” Tehrani continued. “In fact, we receive numerous testimonials from companies whose TMCnet communities actually attract more visitors than their own Web sites.”

TMC is an integrated global media company helping our clients build communities in print, in-person and online. TMC’s Web site TMCnet boasts more than 10 million unique visitors and serves more than 300 million page views annually.
