The internet has quickly become the most popular means for people everywhere to be able to research any known subject, gather important information about almost anything, shop for every conceivable product and service on the market as well as keep up with current regional as well as world news and events as they happen. The popularity of this very valuable resource has translated into a surge of new websites being added every day as businesses throughout the world continue to discover the value of tapping into a vast and ever-growing global market.

The flooring industry continues to take advantage of the global reach of the internet and as a result, literally millions of new websites have entered this lucrative market in just the last few years. This has presented new and daunting challenges for all web-based businesses. It wasn’t very long ago that in a Google search for let’s say… ‘berber carpet’, you would get perhaps 2000 search results. Today, there are over 840,000 businesses competing for this one keyword. Just the keyword ‘flooring’ returns over 41 million search results.

Herein lays the greatest challenge for each and every single flooring company (large or small) wanting to do business via the internet. No matter how good you think your site is, no matter how much you’ve invested in development and design, the million dollar question is - how do you get people to click on YOUR website?

Some webmasters have developed valuable SEO (Search Engine Optimization) skills and as a result, consistently rank high in the search engines. But the majority of flooring business owners either simply don’t have the time or the aptitude for this inexact and ever-changing science. And with so many SEO scams promising high ranking results and producing absolutely nothing except another business expense, many owners quickly become disillusioned with the entire process.

The real question now becomes, are there any reasonable alternatives for effectively competing in this quagmire that is appropriately called the World Wide Web? The answer is a resounding - YES!
