With a market full of competing companies, your company needs to stand out from the rest.  People will always compare your company to another similar company.  Customers can be extremely selective and will use your reputation to decide if they want to throw their business your way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an extremely difficult and expensive process. There are few companies who can afford to do SEO in-house. An average SEO professional will cost around $60,000 annually. And, it’s not a job that only one person can do, so you’ll have to hire at least 3 people to get the job done effectively. Now you’re up to $180,000 a year. And that cost doesn’t even include a web designer, or a programmer. You’ve just easily exceeded $200,000 a year on SEO. So, what can you do?]]></description>

Creative and often off beat, many artists march to the beat of their own drummers and strive to find new and unique ways of doing even the most ordinary tasks. It should come as no surprise then, that many artists haven’t made the leap to online marketing. Those that do have a website often haven’t put in the time to optimize it. After all, they are artists, not likely expert online marketers.

		<description><![CDATA[Backlinks are one way links that originate outside of your website and point directly to specific content on a webpage within your website.

They are best understood as "votes" for your website especially when they are not purchased, they are naturally occurring and they are highly relevant and targeted.  Backlinks also affect your Google PageRank.
