A house with no doors

A website that has not been optimized is like a house with no doors. A site needs to be designed and coded so search engines can find their way in. Once your site is optimized, that’s it, the doors are open! Now you just need to focus on developing rich content and building quality links to your site.

Don't be stingy with business cards

  • Have some with you at all times - leave them at restaurants, banks, gas stations (however, please do not litter)
  • Give them out to anyone and everyone - give them more than 1, maybe the will pass them on to someone else.
  • Do you still mail your bills, include one.
  • Send them along with invoices
  • Use them as hang tags - attach then to your products
  • Be Green, print your cards on recycled paper or be bold, print them on discarded cereal boxes.
  • Try using 'odd shapes - make them stand out.
