For us, it all started with a product demo years ago in the network control
center of an ISP...
..NetZero was about to
deploy new technology allowing an advertiser, in this case Chevrolet,
to deliver pinpoint ads when someone entered a search term for "Ford
Trucks."
This was a catalyst - a defining moment
unveiling a brief glimpse of
the power of the Internet to
connect buyers and sellers.
Over the last few years much has changed
in the Internet marketplace, and new models for leveraging this
powerful communications medium have emerged. Never before have
businesses been able to harness such effective tools for precision
messaging to a growing, engaged audience seeking detailed product
information.
Our personnel have backgrounds across
many differing business mediums, products and service industries.
We know what it's like to sell things to make things happen. Wholly focused on the Business to Business
client, we are vigilant to actualizing our client's business goals -
because we've been there.

netFactor Corporation has evolved
from an online marketing agency founded in 2003 with expertise in digital and
Internet advertising for the Business-to-Business Client. Today, netFactor has established itself as a leader in the search
engine marketing industry with powerful solutions, like VisitorTrack®,
that transcend other online approaches. This patent-pending technology

how can the Internet and our own site be more efficiently leveraged to
achieve sustainable customer growth?

disappearing real estate on a search engine first page, business
managers are looking for new means to attain a better online marketing
ROI. netFactor is wholly focused on driving more new B2B customers
from the Internet, and from our client's websites. Here's what makes
netFactor different:
