My “Formula” to Getting Traffic

by A.J. McClary on 17. Jan, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Web Design

I’m an Internet Marketer by trade. It is my full-time career to make websites look good and make money for people. The problem that I constantly see, however, is that a lot of my clients simply don’t understand everything involved with making a website marketable. Some think that it’s your web design that makes you marketable, with the “if you build it, they will come” mentality. Some are more concerned about simply having a website with a contact page, with the “if I have a website, everyone will find me and contact me instantly” mentality.

As I’ve mentioned before, search engines are getting smarter everyday—so the schemes webmasters use to improve their PageRank can change at anytime.
