My online marketing may be different from yours.
I have to tell you I have been on the web since late
80's
I have seen AOL number 1 and move to last. I have seen yahoo dominate and now Google take control.
I see the future different than some about online marketing.
I have many sites and some may be dramatically improved.
I use them to assist me in my sales, I don’t rely on Google or soon Microsoft to sell advertising to control how my sites seen to the world.
I rely on some primitive old marketing techniques to assist me in getting the people I want information.
Guys, I didn’t ask you to criticize my site, no offense taken.
I appreciate making the point how valuable a site is, that was my point of this thread. I didn’t say my site was better than anyone’s.
You need a website,
I have a pretty high ranking site; I’m not worried about my daily ranking tricks to keep me number one or two. I interested in the people that buy!!!!!!!!!
How long have I been on the third page is what matters to me.
Some of you guys really miss the point, who here need s to be CNN or yahoo? You cannot provide the service or goods they can worldwide.
Does anyone remember AAA this AAA that A- better whatever? That use to be the trick to have your listing first in the phone book. I think some of you are very happy with what you’re doing.
I think some here try to discredit my abilities to use the web; my abilities are way more advanced than most.
I’m surprised ken to see you in this search, the customers will check and do what to know how many years in business. “Pressure cleaning company's 10 years old”
http://www.google.com/search?source...52&q=pressure+cleaning+company's+10+years+old
My sites ahead of yours, Russ is above me. Charlie I didn’t see you on that search, but then you don’t pressure clean.
http://www.apexdecksavers.com/ (Ten years in business)
“Deck restoration company's 10 years old” So I ran that search.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...toration+company's+10+years+old&start=80&sa=N
Charlie, I still didn’t see you? I didn’t look very hard. Possibly you might be there by Saturday on my ulr.

www.seedirtrun.com is number one.
My customers are not looking for new guys that build fancy sites. They are looking for the real deal contractors. They are smarter when they use the search engines.
Mr. Fenner…You are smarter than I thought you were. I’m very impressed; did you steal that from me? No I know you know some of the others because I searched. I’m not going to tell all, that’s one I have the advantage on the search because the customers actually check and verify the Dunn that you have been in business ten or more years.
The engine rankings are important, but some look past that. Some even get told buyer beware!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not dealing with residential home owners; many of my large competitors don’t even have sites still. (Stupid) but they do not. In the near future this is going to hurt.
MY REASON for this post are not to defend my sites, it was to enlighten the bbs PW that travels here.
Get a site!
That’s all folks; I hope some understand the above searches and how the search needs to be important to your need s and the customer.
I have customer use only sites, they order and get serviced online. They are for customers only and you need to be set up to get into them. We sell this with our service to them. My customer has ongoing service and emergency’s daily. They do not have to make phone calls, they save time and money.
