Search Engine Optimization Firm Oneupweb Sponsors Chicago Search Engine Strategies Conference

Suttons Bay, MI - September 22, 2004 - Oneupweb, an award-winning leader in search engine optimization (SEO) and marketing (SEM), announced that it is again a premier sponsor of the Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, Chicago, December 13-15, 2004. Oneupweb's sponsorship of this conference gives marketers a chance to learn about search engine optimization first-hand and how Oneupweb can help them be more successful online marketers.

"Conferences are an extension of what we love to do everyday," explains Oneupweb President, Lisa Wehr. "Pack 2,000 marketers in a room with as many marketing challenges and let the Oneupweb team start bouncing solutions back—we love it.

"We are a high-touch service company in addition to being a high-tech leader," says Wehr. Businesses understand it's vital to be there when customers are searching to buy and Oneupweb provides customized plans that do that. "Marketers recognize that search increases sales," continues Wehr. "Perhaps even more important, our work helps clients build brand equity, prevent brand erosion, win market share and improve returns."

Oneupweb expects the 2000+ attendees at this year's conference to be savvier, dedicating budgets specifically to search marketing. Several sources have reported that online marketing budgets are increasing, while marketing budgets overall are stagnant or only marginally increasing. Wehr accounts for the trend by explaining that search is accountable, while many traditional marketing methods have a hard time quantifying results. Oneupweb's search analytics technology helps clients track search results, show those results to management and get budget increases.

"The conference provides more opportunities for us to help people succeed," states Wehr. "That's what we do everyday."

The company has sponsored four Search Engine Strategies conferences across the nation, and this is the second year that Oneupweb has sponsored the Search Engine Strategies conference in Chicago. JupiterEvents produces the Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo, December 13-15 in Chicago, IL, at the McCormick Place. Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM), (www.jupitermedia.com) headquartered in Darien, CT, owns JupiterEvents and is a leading global provider of original information, images, research and events for information technology, business and creative professionals.
