SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - 03/10/10) - San West Inc. (OTC.BB:SNWT - News), an emerging leader in the design, manufacturing, sales and repair of off-road buggies, is pleased to announce significant improvements to a number of key business metrics pertaining to efficiency of the online advertising strategy employed by partner website, CountyImports.com.

The keyword marketing overhaul campaign, launched in early February and announced March 4, 2010, has rapidly transformed CountyImports.com into the leading online off-road vehicle (ORV) dealer with regard to "natural" or "organic" web traffic. "Natural web traffic" is a term used in reference to unpaid high ranking results on search engines. this 1,000-plus hour effort is driving a record flow of free, highly-targeted web traffic to the website, and in turn facilitating a 37% decrease in overall online advertising costs compared to both 2008 and 2009, the two most lucrative years in the website's history.

"Thanks to the constant optimizing of CountyImports.com, one word at a time, over the past year, we are now experiencing record web traffic as advertising spending declines to near all-time lows," said Frank Drechsler, President and CEO of San West Inc. "Our closest competitors continue to spend exorbitantly on pay-per-click and other expensive advertising campaigns to drive low-value traffic, while by comparison, our position as the top natural traffic ORV dealer and the one-stop-shop destination for off-road vehicles represents a key strategic advantage and continues to move our business model away from paid advertising. We now spend $0.24 per click versus approximately $0.42 during 2008 and 2009. Overall paid advertising costs continue to plummet and we expect to achieve our objective of a 50% reduction in the coming months. We are ecstatic about the initial results of our ongoing optimization campaign and would like to express our gratitude to CountyImports.com personnel for all of the time and hard work that went into making it a success."

Mr. Drechsler added, "The website already attracts more than 60,000 visitors per month, a figure that we expect to grow to approximately 135,000 over the near-term as we continue to optimize our website and our marketing strategies."

Freelance at culmini incWe are a small company in the healthcare space and I am looking for user interface design services that combine emotional motivation with usability. Please, let me know if you are interested in the project I am describing below.
Our web product is directed at patients and their families facing complex treatments (so the UI has to be fool-proof and connect at the appropriate mood and with a message we identified from our patient interviews). There are about 40 pages in our web system. Our product is different from regular/ common websites: while regular common websites are mostly static and text-heavy our product • Is dynamic: It dynamically populates pages with both qualitative and quantitative content depending on user actions and user information. Therefore, the UI needs to communicate with a content management system and an analytical engine. • It relies on diagrams and less text to communicate the message of each page (while keeping a balance with SEO) We are looking for someone who has experience combinining usability with the artistic aspect of UI design and imbedding all pages within the marketing framework and site organization (information architecture) we will be providing. The output for the project will be a UI that we will launch. It should be populated with our qualitative content and should allow us flexibility to continuously edit per our user feedback.. Therefore, html programming is required. More programming skills to link the UI to the back-end database and populate with quantitative content would be nice to have but are not absolutely necessary (we have a php programmer who can do that when given a high quality navigable front end UI)
