Google has been the best for a while, in my opinion, and since they have made it into the tool bar for microsoft they will continue to grow and gain in stregnth.

To tell you the truth, I haven't been able to figure out how to get my new website moving. There are 100's of suggestions out there. I would appreciate some feedback and advice from all of you.

NJ ! - I am doing everything I can, including subscribed to your blog and taking your valuable advice!

I just posted a relocation post on my blog, with lots of great search terms, I will be adding to it at least weekly.

I am trying to get as many posts and links to our site as we can that will help in the organic searches and looking into a company that can help boost our ranking as well

I have been using google adwords for a while now and it has worked well> I joined AR to try get the same results for less money

Keep on working on getting those quality inbound links for my website and blog :)

This is why you have to make sure you know what is important to Google and Yahoo. The rest will follow. Between the two that is over 80%, WOW! It almost says not to worry about anything else.

Derenda - You are absolutely correct. If you can obtain top results in Google you have won half the battle. The second half is converting that traffic into leads and sales!
