Engine Optimization Tips for Small Businesses
David
Bond Search Engine Optimization Basics |
Have
you ever wondered why the sites at the top
of search engine results are there? Especially
if your site is nowhere to be seen, yet
it has a lot more valuable content or a
better product range than those at the top.
It can be frustrating for small businesses
that put a lot of work into their websites,
yet get a fraction of the visitors that
some people talk about receiving.

Marketing
Brent
Filson Marketing + Motivational Article |
Just
as we're supposed to use only a fraction
of our brains' capabilities, so I'm convinced,
working with businesses in major industries,
that people get just a fraction of the results
they're capable of. Few businesses come
close to achieving their potential results.
That's because businesses are not marketing
from the heart. When I speak of the heart,
I speak of that intuitive, emotional, feeling
aspect of all of us.

Silverstein Marketing Article |
Knowing
exactly what business you are in may be
the single most important factor in jump
starting your marketing efforts. So often,
companies see themselves as selling specific
products or providing specific services.
These specificities, in effect, become blinders
on their vision and greatly limit the potential
growth of their businesses.
