We Play In Traffic
Do you think of your web site as a sales tool and revenue source? Or, is it more like dead weight? If you want to drive traffic and sales with your web site, then we are probably the best team for you. Web site aesthetics are important to a successful web presence. However, usability, web site coding and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) are vital to building business on the internet. Link 2 has studied and developed unique techniques to build search engine friendly web sites. Remember, if potential customers can't find you searching with Google, Yahoo and MSN (among others), you are missing out on a number of potential new customers.

What Kind of Site Do You Need?
One of the leading questions that we get is this: How much does a web site cost? That's a hard question to answer before we know what you want your web site to do. Building a good web site is like building a house. First, you need a plan! A plan will define the web site project and help to insure that you get the site that you need. The plan should include every page on the site with notes about any functionality specific to the page beyond copy and images. It’s a good idea to specify text and image content as early as possible so that we know how much work each page will take to do. Being prepared and doing your homework will result in a more accurate proposal and should save you money on your project.
Is Web Site Marketing Important to You?
If you want your web site to drive sales leads, then ABSOLUTELY, web site marketing is important to you! There are few web site development companies that understand how to optimize your site for the search engines. Search Engine Optimization is a highly specialized skill that goes far beyond web copywriting and good HTML skills. Page structure, coding style, title tags and many other things come into play to get a web site to the top of the search engines.
A Few Common Web Marketing Misconceptions
First, you can’t optimize your web site for every search engine on the web. Even if you could, it would be a waste of time and money. You generally only need to optimize for Google, Yahoo and MSN. Those 3 search engines alone comprise around 80%+ of the searches that occur on the web. Special circumstances may warrant looking at other search engines, but most can focus on those 3 and be very successful with online marketing. Submitting your web site to a large number of search engines is generally worthless. We typically put a link from our Link2communications.com web site to our client sites. Having that link to your site will “submit” your site to the search engines. The Link 2 web site is indexed every 8-14 days by Google, so the link going out to your web site will usually get your site indexed faster than submitting your site to the search engines. Submitting a site to some search engines can still be done. Our way of linking to your site from a high pagerank web site such as link2communications.com is a much better way of doing it. Why? That link counts for web marketing purposes! Link building strategy is another important aspect of web site marketing!
