Google’s recent changes in their search results are a prime example of why a local (not only small) businesses must be taking all the SEO actions considered as best practices in the industry.
With every “evolution” that comes about in the world of online marketing there are a new “breed” of online marketing “experts” (Uhh hhmm) that emerge and proclaim themselves the keepers of the secret keys to your online success.
Yeah, whatever!

One of the most important activities a business owner can do is to find out what his successful competitors are doing to be successful!
I will give you a big hint as to what many of the most successful small businesses are doing right now to be successful and that is online marketing!
Your customers are online and searching before they pick up the phone or jump into their vehicles to go shopping.

Microsoft Bing must have been feeling the burn with Google still holding over 70% of the U.S.’s searches last month. Or maybe they are anticipating the release of the largely rumored, Google Me…
Bing has finally figured out a way to pull some traffic for themselves, right under Google’s nose.

This alliance has already made a hefty footprint in the search category with a huge 25% share of the search market. What else can this alliance mean ?
Can Bing really give Google a run for it’s money?
I don’t know if Bing has enough force behind it to actually challenge Google’s supremacy but it is certain that the Bing Yahoo alliance is a force to reckon with, a force that has become very important at least to those involved in marketing their businesses online.

The Yahoo and Microsoft Search Alliance is upon us. Microsoft’s Bing search engine now powers all search results on Yahoo. And very soon, the advertising will be moved over as well.

As we all know Google is the giant when it comes to search engines. And when you are the Big boy you put yourself in the sights of anyone with ambition and/or drive to be numero uno.
According to Computerworld Google still reigns supreme at 65.8% of the search market last month . The thing is that Google actually lost .04% of it’s share. Remember this is global and .04% of search traffic is a huge number of people.

Who would of thought that one of the people I would be helping would have a home based business, literally.
Pattie McDonald and her husband, a retired postmaster, rent their beautiful home for vacations nestled in the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. http://www.lakeozarksvacationrental.com/. Per Pattie, the vast majority of her new business comes from those who find her vacation rental in various online vacation directories, many of which come from those who live in neighboring Illinois. Directories are just one of many internet marketing tools that can be utilized as an inexpensive marketing tool for a home based business.
