IMI Provides the Avenue that Drives Traffic
IMI creates and builds "breaking news" websites around industry specific keywords.  Our proprietary "NewsBots" scour the web for specific keywords and once a breaking news story surrounding the keyword is found, it is sent to our server and edited into a news posting containing a Title, Photo, author credit, 25 word blurb and a direct link to the original content provider. The process is well served by the search engines and works as a traffic magnet.  We will provide "targeted traffic" to any vertical, any niche, any subject.  Click here to request more info  Live Site Examples: Near Field Communication News or take a look at the "Breaking News Site" we built for the NBA's Miami Heat. NBANewsHeat.com   Visit  Breaking News = Traffic to learn how your industry related breaking news website can be a "targeted" traffic magnet.

To provide you with an idea of the power behind our technology, we recently announced the upcoming release of NFLNews*.com (* denotes the name of the team)  So let's use the search term: "NFL News for All 32 Teams."  Relatively generic, and keep in mind we're competing with the likes of The NFL, ESPN, NBCSports, CBSSports, YouTube, Wikipedia, ABCSports, and myriad other established sites.


So how do we perform?  Admirably.
Out of 1.05 Billion Search Results,
