I got this email inquiry from a potential customer yesterday:
Comments: I recently started a website with (deleted name of host) which is a do-it-yourself web hosting site. After a week or so, I think I’m about ready to throw in the towel! The problem is that I’ve paid for my domain for the next 4 years!! Can you all build my site through the existing host so I don’t lose my money? I want a great website at an affordable cost (I’m sure you’ve never heard that before!)
I work in the area and could stop by your office at some point. My website is (deleted)
Thanks,
(name deleted)
See my reply after the jump.

Anyone can setup an ecommerce store online. There are many ways to post products for sale in minutes, even using sites like ebay. I speak with people that want to sell products online every day. While many people want to make lots of money and come up high in Google, most of them aren’t ready to commit the time and resources that a true ecommerce store takes. Those who understand the demands and that are willing to commit the resources are the ones that have the most success.

Here is one of the plays that comes right out of my Search Engine Optimization (SEO) playbook. This tip should make you more money with your website, but it also unfortunately takes more work for you to implement. This technique is one of the tips that high performance website owners use to dominate Google.

We are in the Web 3.0 world now. Realtors are just starting to get it, but most of them don’t get it. Not all of it. Not yet.
It took a while, but Realtors are finally coming around to Web 2.0, Web 3.0, social networking, whatever you want to call it. It is becoming clear to Realtors (finally) that building a website and waiting around for Google to find it simply doesn’t work. This is a good thing! It means that they are waking up to the reality that we are LEAVING THE INFORMATION AGE and that we are ENTERING THE PARTICIPATION AGE. While this is a positive step, and Realtors are using more of these social solutions online, many see them just as a tool for profit instead of a tool for SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE and building credibility.

A prospective customer came in to see me today, and right away I found several things in their website that were holding them back from better search engine results and sales. One of the first things that I do when I evaluate a website is to look at the domain name registration of the domain name. The most glaring thing I found right away was that their domain name was about to expire in TWO MONTHS. This is most likely having a negative affect on their Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

I’ve never really been a fan of Comcast since day 1. Their lack of customer support is legendary, and here in Delaware, you can’t call them 24×7 even for billing. Now, Comcast just announced that they will be placing speed limits on their residential customers. The New York Times has an article on it today.

If you are like me, you might own more than one domain name that you can use for your websites. What you may not have known, is that Google rewards the older names that you aren’t using for your website. Over the past year, we have noticed that Google is rewarding domain names that are older with a higher Google Pagerank. This is important, because the Google Pagerank variable can be thought of as a multiplier that use used against the keywords in your website for relevance to the terms in your site.
What does all that mean? It means that your older domains could possibly come up higher in Google, and that you should consider working some of your older domain names into your marketing plan.

I just launched a new real estate portal on Delaware.com. The new real estate search engine for Delaware includes all homes in both Delaware area MLS databases. This allows us to offer a local real estate search that covers ALL of the available homes in Delaware. Each morning, we syndicate over 60,000 homes into our databases. With newer XML-based MLS data being integrated, we will expand this database even further.

Three years ago, I came up with an idea to get a little more local exposure for us, and to also help out area chambers of commerce. The idea was to have a business-to-business (B2B) trade show, where businesses that sell to other businesses could mix and market. On March 5th, we held our third one. It went great!
Thanks to all of our customers, friends, and partners that attended the Third Annual Delaware Expo Trade Show. The weather was perfect yesterday and we had over 1,000 attendees at the show. The exact number was close to 1,200. Our show is now the largest business-to-business networking event in the state of Delaware, with over 120 exhibitors. We got a lot of positive feedback on the show, and some ideas that we will use to make the 2009 show even better.

I was asked whether I have Google Adwords experience by a trade group, so that I could share some tips about selling AdWords management as a service. Sure, I do have some Google adwords experience. But I also have tremendously more Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experience.
