Brands Inject Wetpaint to Power Significant Traffic Growth

jakefwp — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:24:37 CDT

Web Publishers Using Wetpaint Injected are Experiencing Increasing Search Engine Referral Traffic Since Adding the Social Publishing Functionality to Their Websites

SEATTLE, Oct 07, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wetpaint, the Web 2.0 social publishing leader, today announced that Wetpaint Injected customers are experiencing significant growth in search engine referral traffic as a result of integrating the innovative social publishing solution a few short months ago. Wetpaint Injected publishers have seen their overall search engine referral traffic increase anywhere from 10% to 50%. Wetpaint Injected is now available to anyone visiting www.wetpaint.com/page/injected-contact, where developer keys and integration instructions are available for web publishers both large and small.

Wetpaint Injected is a quick-to-install, complete social publishing solution for online publishers who wish to engage their audience to author content directly on their website. Those who have installed Wetpaint Injected are finding that as their audiences create relevant, unique, and free content, search engines reward them with more and more visitors.

"Every web publisher is looking for ways to drive more traffic to their site," said Ben Elowitz, CEO of Wetpaint. "With Wetpaint Injected, we're finding many hands making light work of something that has proven to do the best job at generating free -- quality content that widens the publisher's search engine footprint to earn more and more traffic."

Wetpaint Injected has been integrated by Flixster, NuWire Investor, Freewebs, IGN, Pathable, Mixxer, AvantBride, BabyBoom Review and CoolChaser, among others. The flexibility of Wetpaint Injected is demonstrated by the variety of web publishers using the service and the ways each is leveraging it.

"Flixster is where movie fans can rate, review, and discover films through their friends and others. Wetpaint Injected has given the community another way to engage with movies by augmenting our collection of actor biographies," said Steven Polsky, president and COO of Flixster. "And we're seeing significant business results because of it. Since installing Injected on over 750,000 Flixster pages, our search engine referral traffic has moved significantly with no additional editorial investment."

NuWire Investor, a website that offers alternative investments information, has experienced a 50% increase in search engine visits since integrating the service. "Wetpaint Injected has helped us realize benefits in two ways," said Jeremy Ames, CEO and executive editor of NuWire Investor. "First, it's helped streamline content creation from our distributed editorial team. And second, it's delivering results through more search engine traffic to our website."

Now generally available, Wetpaint Injected is a complete set of APIs that publishers and developers can integrate alongside or within other web applications and services. Developer keys can be obtained at www.wetpaint.com/page/injected-contact. Startup packages for implementation, content development, and moderation are also available. Learn more at www.wetpaint.com.

Wetpaint News Releases

Releases are listed in reverse-chronological order.

TV Fandex First to Measure “Engagement” Rather Than Just Viewership of Popular TV Programming

dhughes18 — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:04:01 CDT

Initial Fandex Rankings Show Most Engaged Viewers Spend up to 5 Hours a Week Discussing a Single Episode; Weeds, House, True Blood, Command Some of the Highest and Most Sustained Online Engagement

Seattle, WA, June 22 (PRNewswire) – Wetpaint released today the Wetpaint TV Fandex, the first-ever measurement tool that gauges “online engagement” with popular TV programs rather than just measuring size of viewing audience.

Measured from sources including Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Wetpaint fansites, the rankings are generated through an algorithm that tracks consumption and creation of content and fan buzz. The TV Fandex is calibrated to measure both the online footprint of popular shows with a large established fan base, as well as the velocity of emerging TV shows as they generate early online buzz.

“It’s clear there is a fundamental decentralization underway in how consumers experience TV programming, but the measurement tools have remained substantially the same.” said Ben Elowitz, CEO, Wetpaint. “Fans now have the tools to connect and evangelize and they are using them with gusto. The TV Fandex provides networks and producers with the first gauge of the winners and losers in creating and retaining an online audience.”

Wetpaint provides an easy way for fans and brands to create fansites where consumers can share their knowledge, connect with others, and create an authentic community. The Wetpaint network of more than 1.5 million websites is dominated by TV and entertainment. A recent survey indicated that more than 30 percent of fans on Wetpaint fansites spend more than five hours a week connecting with other fans on subjects related to their favorite show.

Amid the shift towards an audience that consumes content when and where it wants, TV programmers are proactively pursuing their top fans and recognizing that the online audience has the power to drive conversations about their brand. Fans have proven to be the most durable asset entertainment companies have, and those same fans are essential when it comes to evangelizing and spreading awareness for the brands they’re passionate about.

Highlights From the Wetpaint Fandex 100 Include:

• Mystery, suspense, surprise result in longer tails. Programs with big reveals, surprise twists, or dramatic finales see enormous spikes in online fan activity, often with a prolonged echo effect.
• Sci-Fi and supernatural genre shows can quickly gain ground even before they premiere. New sci-fi shows like Dollhouse and Fringe ramp up quickly to rival established hits like Lost and Supernatural in online momentum and, in many cases, before the program even premieres.
• Premium series can inspire year-round fan activity. Fans of shows like True Blood and The Tudors remain engaged online long after the show’s season finale and throughout the course of the off-season.
• Reality shows are hot mid-season but then online engagement drops sharply after finales. American Idol and Dancing with the Stars see a slew of online fan activity during the show’s broadcast as the audience is highly engaged while watching. Online buzz for these shows has a tendency to surge with the arc of the season and drop off abruptly after the finale.

The TV Fandex 100 rankings will be updated weekly to reflect the real-time changes in audience interest and attention. Updates can be found at the Fandex website, www.fandex.com, as well as on Twitter at www.twitter.com/tvfandex.

Wetpaint Fandex 100 Top 10 (Week of June 22nd)

1. True Blood
2. NCIS
3. House
4. Weeds
5. Supernatural
6. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
7. Bones
8. The Mentalist
9. The Tudors
10. Gossip Girl

Methodology
The TV Fandex 100 leverages data aggregated from multiple sources that have proven to be the most relevant, real-time, and reflective of fans’ alternating passions online. A mix of search, social media, and fansite activity measures round out the most comprehensive algorithm to supplement Nielsen rankings in determining the most popular and engaging shows on TV.

About Wetpaint: Wetpaint provides the leading platform for fans to easily create and participate in online communities dedicated to the topics they care about most. With the world's largest network of 1.5 million fan-powered websites and partnerships with major brands, Wetpaint offers businesses a turnkey solution for creating and fostering passionate communities that drive traffic and increase customer loyalty.

New Study Indicates Social Media Pays; Correlation Between Brands SM Efforts & Financial Performance

dhughes18 — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:02:44 CDT

ENGAGEMENTdb Report Ranks Who Is Succeeding and Who Isn't With Social Media; Starbucks, Nike, SAP, Thomson Reuters Hit the Top Ten; Website Launching Today Lets Anyone Evaluate Their Own Social Media Efforts

SEATTLE, WA, July 20 (PRNewswire) - A new study released today from Wetpaint and the Altimeter Group confirms that deep engagement with consumers through social media channels correlates to better financial performance. The ENGAGEMENTdb study (www.engagementdb.com) showed significant positive financial results for the companies who measured as having the greatest breadth and depth of social media engagement. These "Social Media Mavens" on average grew company revenues by 18 percent over the last 12 months, while the least engaged companies saw revenues sink 6 percent on average over the same time period. The ENGAGEMENTdb study reviewed more than 10 discrete social media channels, including blogs, Facebook, Twitter, wikis, and discussion forums for each of the 100 most valuable brands as identified by the 2008 BusinessWeek/Interbrand Best Global Brands ranking. Activity in each channel was ranked for depth of interaction on measures that corresponded to that specific channel. Scores for overall brand engagement ranged from a high of 127 to a low of 1. The top 10 ENGAGEMENTdb brands with their scores are:

Starbucks (127)
Dell (123)
eBay (115)
Google (105)
Microsoft (103)
Thomson Reuters (101)
Nike (100)
Amazon (88)
SAP (86)
Tie - Yahoo!/Intel (85)

Qualities of Success Companies that scored well in the study generally have dedicated teams, however small, active in the social media channels they utilize. The study found that the most successful teams evangelize social media across the entire organization to pull in a broad range of stakeholders. These companies view social media as an indispensable tool to help them achieve results, and their approach is conversational. This mode of operation differs from the approach of traditional communications and early corporate blog experimentation, which emphasizes messaging and talking points. "This is the first study of this depth on the top global brands and we think the results provide a good guide for corporations and brand marketers in every industry," said Charlene Li, Founder, Altimeter Group. "The success stories we have uncovered provide a blueprint for companies making decisions about how to best apply their marketing and consumer relations resources." "The ENGAGEMENTdb study goes a long way towards validating the importance of social media for business," said Ben Elowitz, CEO of Wetpaint. "The closer any company is to its customers, the better, and it's hard to argue with the ability for social media to create such proximity. In this day and age, companies should feel much more comfortable investing in social media -- the correlation to results is so clear." Four Quadrants of Engagement While each company in the study received a quantitative score, the ENGAGEMENTdb study revealed that companies fell into four specific categories in terms of their breadth and depth of investment in social media channels -- Mavens, Butterflies, Selectives, and Wallflowers.

Mavens -- brands that have made social media a core part of their go-to-market strategies and are very active in many channels; usually driven by dedicated teams assisted by company-wide awareness and participation.
Butterflies -- brands that recognize the need to be in many channels but have only met with real success in a subset of their activities; these companies are usually spread a bit too thin.
Selectives -- brands that focus on just a few channels and excel in those; these efforts are usually initiated by an internal evangelist.
Wallflowers -- brands present in only a few channels and very lightly in those; these brands are sitting on the sidelines and are wary of the risks. They are still trying to figure out the best next steps and investments in social media.

Rank Your Company Against the ENGAGEMENTdb Top 100 Launching today, the ENGAGEMENTdb website (www.engagementdb.com) makes it possible for companies and brand managers to quickly find out how their social media efforts rank as compared to those of the world's most valuable brands. After taking a quick survey, respondents will receive an email evaluation of their social media efforts compared to the companies in the ENGAGEMENTdb report. Additionally, companies can detail their social media efforts for inclusion in the ENGAGEMENTdb through the website. This data will be used in future research and study of the benefits of social media.

Wetpaint-powered Flash Activism Turns Out Tens of Thousands of Prop 8 Protesters

dhughes18 — Wed, 27 May 2009 14:29:19 CDT

Flash Activists Leverage Wetpaint to Organize Rallies in 120 Cities Opposing the CA Supreme Court Decision Upholding Proposition 8

SEATTLE, May 27 (PRNewswire) - The trend of online organization leading to offline activism continued yesterday as tens of thousands of protestors rallied in over 120 cities, all planned by Day of Decision grassroots activists on a Wetpaint-powered website. The demonstrations were planned by activists using Wetpaint to create web pages that served as a clearinghouse for protest information for each of the 120 cities participating in the event, ranging from Los Angeles to New York, to Toronto. In the 48 hours leading up to the ruling's announcement, over 220,000 people visited the site http://dayofdecision.wetpaint.com, thanks in part to endorsements by popular blogger Perez Hilton and tweets by Eliza Dushku, star of the hit TV show Dollhouse.

Flash activism of this magnitude is not new to the Wetpaint network; Join the Impact used Wetpaint to organize a worldwide protest in November 2008 when Proposition 8 was first instated. The site, http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com, facilitated rallies in 300 cities with more than 250,000 people marching in unison in support of equal rights. Just like the flash activism of Join the Impact, the Day of Decision rallies are a powerful example of the ease with which groups can use social technology online to coordinate and collaborate for offline action.

"Wetpaint was built for the very purpose of letting people easily express their passions," said Ben Elowitz, CEO of Wetpaint. "Although yesterday's rallies brought people together over a common disappointment, we're pleased that Wetpaint played in allowing so many to come together and stand up for what they believe in."

The easy-to-use Wetpaint platform provides the ability to join conversations, create new topics and threads, upload photos and videos, and create widgets that track community activity. Event and activism coordinators choose Wetpaint because anyone can contribute what they know, making events like Day of Decision and Join the Impact possible and successful.

About Wetpaint: Wetpaint provides the leading platform for fans to easily create and participate in online communities around the topics they care about most. With the world's largest network of 1.5 million fan-powered websites and partnerships with major brands such as Dell, Discovery Channel, Fox, HBO, HP, HTC, Showtime, and T-Mobile, Wetpaint offers businesses a turnkey solution for creating and fostering passionate communities that drive traffic and increase loyalty. Consumers flock to http://www.wetpaint.com to create sites around topics they love; last month consumers created more than forty-thousand Wetpaint fansites.

Wetpaint Announces Bailout Plan for Foreclosed Geocities Properties

dhughes18 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:12:31 CDT

GARP (Geocities Asset Recovery Plan) to Provide Thousands of Homepage-less Geocities Communities New Housing for Their Websites

SEATTLE, April 29 (PR Newswire) - Wetpaint, the leader in fan-powered websites, announced today the Geocities Asset Recovery Plan (GARP), which will provide all current and future evicted members of the Yahoo! Geocities community the opportunity to move to a free new home on the Wetpaint network. To kick the program off and provide a stimulus of sorts, Wetpaint will offer a free custom domain to the first 1000 qualified migrants from the departing service. The GARP will also include a series of webinar style Q&A sessions with a Wetpaint Community Building Expert, who will be present in live chat format to answer any and all questions related to shipping existing content from Geocities sites to their newly constructed Wetpaint abode.

Wetpaint sites are fan-driven community sites offering functionality and amenities above and beyond what Geocities home owners are accustomed to. Wetpaint is always free and easy to use, with click-and-type editing, simple photo and video integration, discussion threads, on-site messaging, the ability to make sites public or private, and much more. As more members are able and willing to contribute to these sites, their property values will increase as the sites rank higher in search engines, attracting more and more community members with shared interests.

"America needs to recognize that bailouts and asset recovery plans aren't just for physical businesses and homeowners anymore. Creating, nurturing and maintaining an online home and community takes an incredible amount of passion and hard work, and to have all that taken away in a nanosecond is a shame," said Rob Grady, SVP Marketing, Wetpaint. "With GARP, we are committed to helping great communities find a new home that lets everyone easily contribute and start the rebuilding process."

This announcement comes on the heels of Wetpaint winning the Washington Technology Industry Association Industry Achievement Award for Consumer Product of the Year for providing users with the easiest to use platform for building social fansites around their collective passions.

Wetpaint to Power SuperFan Websites For Leading Online Network

MSN Taps Wetpaint to Provide Flexible Platform to Draw in Real Voices and Create Community around Popular Entertainment Topics

SEATTLE, April 29 (PR Newswire) - Wetpaint announced today that MSN Entertainment will create entertainment fansites using the Wetpaint fansite platform. This quarter, MSN Entertainment will start rolling out more than two dozen Wetpaint-powered sites slated to launch in 2009.

"We are looking to forward to launching this new fan-driven initiative on MSN Entertainment where the fans do the writing, meet each other and share their interests," said Lisa Gurry, Director, MSN. "We're pleased to partner with Wetpaint to bring this experience to our users."

"Over the last three years, Wetpaint has figured out how to bring brands and fans together to create compelling content while generating significant business value," said Ben Elowitz, CEO, Wetpaint. "With their SuperFan initiative, MSN recognizes the power of the voices of fans and the ability of this motivated audience to drive buzz and traffic above and beyond static fan pages and message forums."

Wetpaint is the leading platform for creating passionate fan-based communities online. While professional content such as a TV show, movie or musician drives the fans themselves, when they come to Wetpaint sites, fans become the content creators. This collaboratively created content is rich and compelling; delivering direct value to brands through organic search that far exceeds other online marketing options. With 60% of traffic generated through search and low internal resource drain, brands can do more with less investment and create a larger, more engaged audience that's ready to monetize.

The easy-to-use Wetpaint platform provides the ability to join conversations, create new topics and threads, upload photos and videos, and create widgets that track community activity, and are easily posted on social networks and blog sites. MSN is utilizing Wetpaint Injected, which enables brands to easily incorporate the core Wetpaint platform into their own site with a custom look and feel. Sites using Wetpaint Injected can quickly develop a large content base that drives increased search engine referrals, resulting in significant, organic, incremental traffic.
