Corporate website developers are a a dime dozen, and it's not that difficult
to get a web site on the Internet. Frankly, there are many individuals
and companies with the ability to produce decent-looking web pages.
(Of course few, if any, can
do as good a job as we do!) Unfortunately,
that's all they do. Produce web pages. The problem is that simply
being on the Internet is not enough to bring visitors to your web
site.
You see, the biggest difference between the virtual world and the real world is that the virtual world is non-linear. Let us explain. When you go to the grocery, you go down certain streets to get there. You may be able to go several different ways, but you are still limited by the layout of the streets. And businesses on those streets are counting on you to notice them as you drive by. Much of their business is a direct result of their location on that street. Not so on the Internet. When you go to
a web site, you go directly to it, without passing any others on the way. And you can get there from anywhere, as long as you put in the correct address. It's like being transported from the Enterprise on Star Trek. So you can see that just being on the Internet does not guarantee that anyone will see you.
A common myth is that just by registering the web site with the big search engines people will find their way to you. We hear this all the time. A web developer (who's only goal is to sell a web site) will say "I'll list your site with the major search engines so when someone types in "widgets" your site will come up." It's just not that simple. Try searching for any kind of product with a search engine, and you will come up with tens of thousands of matches, or even millions. Do you really want to rely on that alone?
What we've described is what many companies have done. And they wonder why they get poor results.
