   Prior to 2000, promoting your web site business was a much easier process. By placing "Meta Tags" at the top of you html web page code, which at that time was about 3 lines of code and then submit your web pages to the online directories, submitting them to search engines was pretty much unheard of at the time. However, today is much different, while you can still do the meta tags, they only serve to confirm what the search engine finds out about your page.

Anything large and extravagant, is pretty much listed as entertainment. Why do you think search results look very similar to old ad listings or telephone directories?

   First of all when you went virtual (got a domain name for your company) either a company you hired a web, marketing or consulting company to obtained it for you OR one of your staff employees did the process on behalf of your company OR maybe you did it your self. In any case you or a representative of your company initiated the process to get your business name on the Internet in the form of a Domain name, such as http://www.YourCompanyName.com. Now when the representative did this, they HAD to give an email for point of contact and technical contact and most likely your business name, it’s phone number and address.
