Well, a very  Noble ideas . What matter is, every time when some one told me that he or she wanted to build a website for their business, it sure turns me on.

My question to them is always,

1. How do you proposed to build it?

Then follow by

2. How do you proposed to promote or market it?

Most  people will find a web designing firm to do it for them; it only naturally. Nothing wrong about that. Here is a comment given in my other business blog by Arthur

“That is so true. I’ve worked in web design myself and I know first hand that most web designers are programmers, not marketers at heart. So yes, they will make you a website, but will it sell? I’d rather have an ugly website that makes me money than a pretty one that doesn’t.”

What Arthur said is very true, most web designers are programmers, not marketers. You may have a very nicely done website with all the animation, flash and layout, but your site hardly have any visitor except those customers that you already had, who log in just to obligate as per your request. This situation is just like you start a grocery shop, except that the location of your shop is in the middle of a plantation, only those people who know and live there will pay you a visit one a while for the sundries when they need them. That’s defeat the purpose of having a website.

I personally have a few very interesting encounter with website designers, in due respect, these people produce professionally look website, if that is all you wanted, fine! But as Arthur put it in my blogpost, Your Website Need Revive! here, “…I’d rather have an ugly website that makes me money than a pretty one that doesn’t.”

Talk about promoting and marketing of website on Internet, you will sure heard about the buzz word SEO And by the way, just for some fun here, if you go to Google Page and type “Online Business Success” you will find that #6 on page 1 of Google SERP of out of 72,100,000 is www.clickabiznes.com, my very first  website that I build with all the Free Tools  found on the Internet.

You can read the story from the blogpost there.  I turn this site it into a blog like website after it lie dormant for 2 years.  Restarted last year and stop again for about 10 months since October 08 and started again this July. Hopefully when you read this post, the position stays.   :)

Wow! Google SERP Page 1 - Nothing To shout About lah.

So you see, if you are talk into building a website and pay through your nose every month for the service of SEO, you may want to get a second opinion first, for many of the self proclaimed SEO expert (in my opinion) is telling the truth about what they can do for your site promotion but probably not the whole truth!

It always wise to get a second or even third opinion.
