Oneupweb Nominated by ClickZ Readers for Best Search Engine Marketing Vendor Finalist

Continuing its industry record, Oneupweb, a leading national search engine optimization (SEO), paid search marketing and podcasting firm, today announced it has been nominated a finalist—for the fourth time in four years—as Best Search Engine Marketing Vendor by ClickZ's readership. Oneupweb has won the Best Search Engine Marketing Vendor category in ClickZ's Marketing Excellence Awards twice in the last three years. The ClickZ Marketing Excellence Awards recognize ClickZ readers' choices for achievement and innovation in online marketing technology, solutions, and execution.

"Every year, this award becomes even more valuable to us," says Lisa Wehr, Oneupweb CEO. "Since the last presentation of this award, our industry has changed. There are hundreds more search marketing companies and several firms were purchased by global advertising agencies with considerable resources. To compete against this changing landscape, Oneupweb continues to focus our efforts on client service and success—not chasing venture capital or stock market fantasies. And we continue to challenge ourselves and our clients to higher standards of online success. It shows in the longevity of our client list, their glowing testimonials and their results."

Wehr says, "To stay ahead, we added more services and invented new technology. We've provided clients with the broadest line of online marketing services with exceptional expertise in leveraging search engines. And just this summer we were the first of our industry to add corporate podcast production and tracking.

"Our focus is always on client service, innovative technology and insightful industry leadership," continues Wehr. "We're honored to be chosen a finalist again, and believe that our consistency in being named a finalist may be credited to the reputation we've earned in the marketplace."

Since winning the Best Search Engine Marketing Vendor award last year, Oneupweb has worked hard to lead the industry:
- Creating the only podcast analytics system that can track all traffic regardless of source
- Adding new clients and capabilities including podcast production, online media planning and creative services
- Releasing dozens of white papers and articles through podcasts, blogs and newsletters
- Named to several business awards including Lawrence Technology University's Leader & Innovator, Michigan's 50 Companies to Watch and BtoB's Who's Who (for the third time)
- Created standards for optimizing podcasts

These prestigious ClickZ Marketing Excellence Awards recognize ClickZ readers' choices for achievement and innovation in online marketing technology, solutions, and execution. The Best Search Engine Marketing Vendor nomination process narrowed potentially thousands of candidates to just three firms. Voting continues now through Wednesday, November 8, 2006, and winners will be announced on Monday, November 13, 2006.
