Hooray for the Little Guy

My online marketing experience began with a web hosting company. Back then, all the web hosting companies were small operations, trying to look bigger. Now, most of the ones that have survived are actually bigger, and can't provide the customized and experienced service that independent online marketing consultants can. What they're charging for below - Pay Per Click "starting at $125/mo"... the little guy can do better and save you money and time in the long run.

Panama City, Florida Restaurants

The realization that search engines are replacing phone books for advertisers has not quite reached every market.

Do a search in Google for "Panama City restaurants," and you will find that this popular beach town does not have a single restaurant advertising directly. Sure, they may be in some of the travel content and local business chamber sites, but they're not right there in your results, saying "Come eat at Flamingo Joes, the best restaurant on the Beach!" (which it is, in many categories.)

Once these small businesses realize how affordable it is to be listed right there in Google, Yahoo, MSN (or Live... whatever they're calling themselves now), they can't say no.

Google has not peaked. Wow.
