Website Marketing Expert
You often hear tales of someone who gets a website and they are making hundreds and thousands of dollars on the web. How is this possible? Is this possible? It is possible but you must have a marketing machine behind the website. It cost money! People who think they are going to build a website and that customers are going to start flooding in the door are not thinking right. With the proper marketing and the proper marketing budget you can do anything if you have the right people to do it.
At Directory One, Inc. we have been building websites for over 10 years and we build them to rank on the Internet Search Engine’s search results. These leads that come in are not free. Many things go into making a website rank including age of the domain, how long the domain is registered and how many other sites link to it. These are a few very important things, not to mention the content of the website, the website structure, and the website html that can be viewed by the spiders. You website designer should mention server side includes and should be familiar with CSS files as well. Good luck with your website design project with SEO in mind.
Directory One will add its’ 25th person to the company roster this Monday. He is a friend of Jeremy, a recent employee, who has shown how he deserves to be thought of as an SEO expert himself. Directory One will add blogs for most of the 25. Each person that helps Directory One will be able to post to a blog daily. They will also be able to publish articles once a week about what it his he or she does for Directory One.
Directory One wants to be the main provider for hands on search engine marketing blogs and search engine marketing videos. Search Engine Marketing touch’s every aspect of our online business. Even the web hosting Directory One does is SEO friendly. Directory One assigns a full IP address for accounts that it hosts and optimizes.
Directory One gives its’ web hosting away with the optimization or website design packages it sells. Free Domain Names are also available to Directory One customers.
Directory One’s claim to fame is how it answers our phone all the time. With the installation of the new phone system we are still figuring out how it works. We want to answer you directly, so if you ever get our recording, dial O and someone will usually answer you right away.
Today Directory One, Inc. announced a new series of video’s relating to their Search Engine Marketing business. The staff at Directory One will star in the video’s. They will teach the Houston Search Engine Marketing Community things, they need to know, to help them rank high on Google, Yahoo, and MSN search results.
I am happy to report a 41% increase in sales for Taste of Texas mail order business this year. They basically paid a 6% commission to Directory One for the sales they made on their website. Edd Hendee said he would pay 10% all day and was pleased with the results Directory One has accomplished with his business. Search Engine Marketing helped Taste of Texas sell 106,000 dollars in main order steaks in December.
