Internet Web Marketing And Small Businesses!
Jul 31st, 2008 by admin
I wonder how many sites get published every day by small business owners who have no idea about the existence of search engine optimisation, let alone what it means 
I’m amazed by how many small business web sites I come across that have had no seo done on them at all … thinking about it I’m not sure how I come across them at all 
Most small business owners think “oh, I really should have a web site” … they then have a go at basic web design themselves or spend several hundeds of dollars getting one designed, only to find it looks great but generates them no sales! They’d be better spending less on design and more on seo services …
Simple things like page title are missing or just say “home” (that’ll rank well!) … there must be a huge market out there for basic seo services …
For example, look at the seo case study I did back in March … my friend who has moved out to France designed a web site for his holiday cottage in France and did no SEO … he was really proud of the site … to be fair he thought about his keywords when he bought a domain name, www.french-holidays-aude.com … but that it was it … not surprisingly it sat on page 50+ of Google until I did some seo work for him, now, 4 months or so later he still sits at No.3 in Google …
I started thinking about small business web sites whilst thinking about Keith Baxter’s new site, the Kingspoint Project … imagine how many small business owners could benefit from spending $197 with Keith to get free traffic from the search engines … how many sales could they drive from that outlay … more than the cost of the seo work I’d bet … and the traffic would keep coming for months after …
I guess I should start charging $297 for SEO work and spend £197 with Keith to get it done and pocket the $100 for a couple of emails 
I must put some more thought into this … maybe I should set a small business website up offering my services, then spend $197 with Keith myself to bring in traffic, and then sell them a service I outsource to Keith’s team … I like it! 
If you haven’t taken a look at Keith’s site, I really, really recommend that you do … if just to take in his 17 free traffic videos! His “paid” services are the most exciting I’ve seen for a long time, and I can’t wait to see the results of my investment (I will post an update on that over the weekend) …. go visit his site and see for yourself … the Kingspoint Project.
Anyway … I’m off to think about my new small business venture … yet another sleepless night ahead!
