These are the PPC listings which are usually sponsored ads.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Website maintenance has to do with content updates, product updates for ecommerce sites, feature additions, and even website re-design. Basically, search engines and users both prefer to visit sites where there is always fresh content to see. This means that if you want to keep both users and search engines returning to your site, you need someone who can consistently update your site with fresh content.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the old days, companies were always leery of jumping on technologies and new mediums that they perceived would damage their security and drive down employee productivity. Many still are. When telephones first came out, employers thought they should never have one on each employee’s desk, because then they would call people all day. When personal computers were new, many of the employees had to share them or they weren’t allowed to have personal disks, because employers were afraid that employees would not spend their time doing company business, or would leave the premises with copyrighted, proprietary information and take it straight to their competitor. Then there were company laptops, company cell phones and being able (or unable) to access the internet at work. The cry was still the same: employees will stop working and security will be compromised.]]></description>

Here’s a question for you.  If you don’t know a lot about design, would you try to create your business cards, print advertisements or letterheads?  This is the face of your company you’re putting out there.  In the case of a Web site, it’s often a potential customer’s first impression.  It should be as professional looking as possible, don’t you think?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an online business owner, you’re likely to realize that the best way to be successful is to increase the visibility of your website. The process of doing this, search engine optimization, involves many steps, one of which is submitting your site to search engines and directories. If you hop online and search for a company that offers you the ability to free submit your website to search engines, you are likely to net yourself millions of results. Unfortunately the vast majority of these offers are fraudulent in some way. Learning how to spot the bad apples among the truly free offers is the best way to ensure that your site is submitted to as many search engines and directories as possible—for free.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO is a complicated process, for a lot of different reasons. One of the biggest ones is the fact that search engine algorithms are a closely guarded trade secret; as secretive as they are, though, it's well known that Google uses well over 100 different factors to determine page rank. Their goal is to make it difficult for webmasters and designers to come up with page ranks that their sites don't deserve. On top of that, the environment changes constantly; what was working in '04 didn't work in '05, and what worked in '08 doesn't work in '10. Here's a roundup of some bad and/or outdated practices for SEO marketing:]]></description>

Google sitemaps are actually used by multiple search engines during their indexing and ranking process. In short, the Google sitemap is a basic XML file which contains all of the separate pages from a particular website in a format that is simple for search engines to read and index. The format used by Google Sitemaps was actually developed by a team that included members from Microsoft, Google and Yahoo, but it is known by most web surfers as “Google” XML Sitemaps.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even Internet pros sometimes forget about the benefits that can be gained from utilizing local SEO techniques. The Internet is a big place and encompasses the entire globe while your business is likely located in just one small corner of the world. This is especially true if you have a “real world” business, brick and mortar and all. Instead of spending your marketing time and dollars marketing to the whole shebang, consider using a more targeted approach – local SEO.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To many, this seems like a no brainer. Your domain name should be your business name, end of story – right? It isn’t really that simple. In fact, picking the perfect domain name for your site isn’t only difficult, it may be one of the most important decisions you make for your new website.  From extensions (.com, .net, .us et al) to name length, your domain name may be the single thing you need your potential customer to remember.  Don’t forget, many of the “best” names may already be taken. In a perfect world, the name you want will still be available, but in most cases they have already been snapped up. So, you are faced with a conundrum:  how to pick the perfect name.]]></description>

PPC (Pay per Click) is the main advertising medium of the search engines.  Google’s PPC is called Adwords.  PPC provides the means for online marketers to be display advertising that will appear alongside and just above the natural or organic search results.

		<description><![CDATA[To understand why a website needs backlinks, you must know what a backlink is. A backlink is an incoming link posted or created on another site resulting in a clickable link that leads back to your website. A good example would be a backlink that is created from entering your webpage information on an online directory. Other backlinks could be found in the form of linked text inside content such as articles. Backlinks are also how a website is measured in terms of popularity and page rank. That is why the generation of backlinks is emphasized in SEO (Search Engine Optimization).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Black Hat SEO tactics are practices used by unethical SEO companies, and online marketing sites to trick search engines into giving them a higher ranking than they deserve. Black Hat SEO delivers fast results, but is ultimately very bad news for the users. So why is Black Hat SEO frowned upon, if it works (albeit temporarily)? Black Hat tactics are considered unethical, because they almost always break the rules of search engines. In addition to that, sites that use Black Hat SEO techniques make for a near universally bad user experience. There also some pretty severe repercussions for using Black Hat techniques. When search engines discover that these methods are being used, they will often block those sites from search results, rendering the site essentially useless.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than anything else, an SEO company exists to do all those things that you don't have time to do with your website, or don't have the skills to do yourself. Of course you want to market your site, and make sure it's seen by everyone who is browsing the internet. The problem is, however, that hardly any business owner has the time to do all the tedious work building links, adding alt tags to pages, and creating mountains and mountains of relevant and interesting copy. There's an even large group of business owners who don't even know where to begin with SEO, and that's why SEO companies are practically essential to doing business online.

Unemployment is expected to rise even into the double digits during 2009.  The Auto Industry is in an unimaginable mess.  Our banking and financial systems are dysfunctional, not even trusting each other to lend between themselves.  The federal government seems to lack planning, direction or even the understanding of how to deal with and address these issues effectively.  Talk of recession, the worst one since the Great Depression, and even talk of another Great Depression are all part of the daily discussion.  For business owners, large and small, marketing executives and managers , sales executives and representatives, these are formidable forces to be reckoned with and are the everyday challenges being faced in conducting business, particularly in the areas of planning and execution with precious sales and marketing budgets.]]></description>
