TMCnet's New Vertical Communities

March 4, 2008

The SIP Global Online Community on TMCnet

Over the past decade, TMCnet has become the accepted resource for news, product research and analysis in communications and technology markets - including telecom, VoIP, and contact centers. Moreover, the site has become the defacto location online where companies build loyal communities of interest on a variety of topics. Since 2004, TMCnet has built close to one hundred and fifty communities of various sizes (current communities, channels/microcommunities) for our partners.

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% year-over-year, TMCnet communities drive tremendous traffic to our partner's Web sites and help them achieve higher levels of search prominence.In fact, we receive numerous testimonials from companies whose TMCnet communities actually attract more visitors than their own Web sites.

As TMCnet has grown, dozens of new writers have joined our team. These editors, strategically placed in the U.S. and around the globe, cover breaking news as it happens. We have also hired true thought leaders whose insight and opinions are valued by TMCnet's

millions of monthly readers. It is this vast supply of news, analysis, opinion, and product reviews that drive TMCnet's 2-3 million unique visitors to the site each month.

Recently we have been getting requests to build communities to help companies reach their target audience in vertical markets such as medical, education, government and financial. These areas are covered extensively by TMCnet writers every day. It is only natural that similar content on topics like "communications in hospitality markets", for example, get placed and promoted in a single community where decision makers can bookmark and come back to again and again in order to stay up to date.

We are happy to announce that TMCnet's Vertical Community program is being launched today. TMCnet will work with our partners to help you achieve thought leadership, branding and search engine optimization in the vertical markets most important to your success.

The communities are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are exclusive by advertiser.
