How to make your website work as hard as you do

The internet became a reality in the early 1970's and has been termed the "Global Village". The internet, unlike any other medium, has transformed our world. The growth over the past two decades has been exponential and the internet now boasts over 1,463,632,000 people as users. What did we all do BG (Before Google)?

The magic of the internet is that anyone can get on line for very little investment. A personal computer, an internet service provider and a free hosting account on social networking sites … presto - you're on line!

Even a business user can have a custom web page on the internet within a matter of days for very little investment. Current technology and templates make your on-line presence simple and painless.

The best part is - there is no end in sight! By all accounts, the growth of the internet continues exponentially. The market for your goods and services is bigger than ever before - truly global. It’s a small world after all!

So why, with all the hype and fuss about the internet, must have toys and mobile computing are fewer than 10% of the people we talk with actually making any money from their web sites? I work with people every day who have had a site on-line for several years and still are not listed on the search engines. And those that have paid big money for SEO (search engine optimization) are seeing few visitors - the best are seeing about 10 per day when we start tracking real numbers. Some of my clients have paid other developers over $25,000 for their site and see no perceived return-on-investment.

While there are success stories out there … people who get thousands of site visitors every day - and within a week of putting the site up - this is not the norm. So how do you make the internet work for you. How can you capitalize on this "Global Village" and make your site start working as hard as you do?
