			<title>October 2005 - 9th sphere client awarded 2005 Silver Award of Excellence by the Canadian Information Productivity Awards (C.I.P.A.)</title>
			<description>
				<![CDATA[
						C.I.P.A. is one of Canada's largest business awards programs, recognizing IT and innovation implementation excellence. This year, the award for Efficiency and Operational Improvements in the not-for-profit category was presented to 9th sphere's client, the National Pardon Centre (NPC).<br /><br />

						Through 9th sphere, NPC was able to implement a web Client Acquisition & Fulfillment system, which significantly increased prospect inquiries and improved internal inefficiencies.<br /><br />

						Today, with just a Web browser, a visitor to the website completes a basic enquiry form, while the system validates qualifications, sends appropriate responses automatically, collects payment, and completes the application process without need for human intervention.  Website administrators complete and process internal documents and send instructions relevant to each client's needs with just the press of a button. If a prospective client does not respond within the required time period, the system automatically generates e-mail reminders. All client-targeted features of the system are provided in both English and French. An integrated web-based Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) automatically tracks customer data, administrators' notes as well as history logs, and reports client status and revenues.  The site is also an excellent vehicle for disseminating accurate information.<br /><br />

						As a result of the new Web system, NPC has seen an astounding increase of 400% per month in prospect inquiries. Counselors now spend 80% less time on the phone with clients, and can deal with an approximate 100% per month increase in client acquisitions. NPC has also benefited from a reduction in paper and stationery costs of 35%.<br /><br />

						The NPC has acknowledged 9th sphere's role as a major contributor to the winning project.<br /><br />

						"...it was the people involved in the project that really made it work...on the technical side we were able to find a very good Web solutions provider who worked hard with us and provided excellent programming solutions." - Michael Ashby, co-director of NPC.<br /><br />

						We congratulate the National Pardon Centre on its success!<br /><br />

			<title>July 17, 2005 - 9th sphere receives Google's Advertising Professional Certification</title>
			<description>
				<![CDATA[
						9th sphere's Marketing Director has become one of few Toronto-based Internet marketers to be formally recognized as a Qualified Google Advertising Professional.<br /><br />

						In order to be granted this status, an individual within a company must manage Google campaigns, demonstrate a thorough understanding of the Google AdWords system, maintain specific budgets, and pass a final exam.  Recently, on behalf of 9th sphere, Ezra Silverton skillfully carried out all criteria, and successfully completed the Google Advertising Professional Exam.<br /><br />

						This unique qualification program was designed to help Internet marketing professionals, who currently manage or want to manage multiple AdWords client accounts, to become better Internet advertising managers. The Google Advertising Professionals program includes a comprehensive exam that must be completed before proper recognition is awarded.  One must demonstrate strong advertising performance and proficiency in managing large Google AdWords accounts.<br /><br />

						Ezra Silverton comments, "During this time of fly-by-night Internet marketing companies and wannabe Internet marketing "experts", it's extremely difficult for a business that's seeking an internet marketing company, to recognize a reputable firm. - The Google Advertising Professional Exam helps to reinforce 9th sphere's credibility and commitment to helping our clients succeed."<br /><br />

			<title>June 2005 - Introducing 9th sphere's WHOIS Privacy Service</title>
			<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Protect personal information with WHOIS Privacy!<br /><br />
					Every time a domain name is registered, name, address, and phone number are entered into a public database that can be viewed and used by anyone. This exposes personal information to spammers, telemarketers and, other undesired parties.<br /><br />
					Now there's a way to protect domain name owner's personal information. 9th sphere's WHOIS Privacy service allows domain name owner's to retain a domain name without having to expose personal information to the public.<br /><br />
					Here's how it works:
					<ul>
						<li>Domain registration information, including the Administrative, Billing, and Technical contacts, are masked with generic data within public WHOIS databases. This way owner's retain full ownership and privacy of domain name information.</li>
						<li>Requests to view domain's contact information are filtered and forwarded to the owner.</li>
						<li>Domain owner's can then decide whether or not to respond.</li>
					</ul>
					Purchase WHOIS Privacy for a domain name(s) today and protect private information! Contact 9th sphere and ask to enable the WHOIS Privacy service.<br /><br />
					To <a href="http://www.9thsphere.com/domain/register.php">search the availability of a domain</a>, visit 9th sphere's <a href="http://www.9thsphere.com/services_domain.html">domain name registration system</a>.<br /><br />
