Good Morning,
It breaks my heart to see so many people going out of business or losing their jobs. Every day I hear people talking how they are “living in fear” that they will not be able to support their families. I’m sure you hear people talking about how they feel as if their lives and those around them are out of control. They want to know “what can they do to change
things?” At the same time they want to make America stronger and to help their friends, families and neighbors but don’t know how.
I’m writing to you because it recently occurred to me that there is something I can do to help you and others. In turn there is something we can do to help many others. I want to expose what I consider the two biggest rip-offs in America and how they are causing many businesses to close their doors or lay people off. I’m hoping that you and others will feel good about
yourselves for forwarding this letter to help your friends, families and co-workers.

The Two Biggest Rip-Offs in America
Most American businesses are missing out on two very important points that affect whether the business makes money (hires people) or loses money (fires people). If the following keeps even one person from losing their job or helps one American business keep their doors open then we have made a difference.
First, the phone book is dead. Or nearly so. I recently heard that over 60% of all people in America no longer own a phone book. The same day it arrives on their doorstep, millions of people, pick it up, throw it in the trash. Did you know that within a few years the phone book will probably disappear completely?
Any business in America that does not understand that most people no longer use the phone book may end up paying a large amount of money for phone book advertising, while making fewer and fewer sales. That is the kind of mistake that results in businesses closing their doors or laying people off. In my opinion it’s a rip-off that people are paying the same high rates to phone book companies
and these phone book companies have not informed their customers that “few people are still reading their product”.
Second, most websites lose money. A few years ago for some reason people became convinced if they built a pretty website that people would visit it and buy their products. These new website owners were convinced they were going to make a lot of money. Now 90% of these website owners have spent a small fortune on their websites and have little or nothing to show
for it because they did not understand that “websites are not magic”. You cannot assume that if you build a website that people will just show up and buy your products. The truth is that only those businesses whose websites rank in the top ten of the search engines and have interesting content have a real chance to get enough visitors so they can make a profit.
The double whammy. With businesses spending huge amounts of money on a phone book that brings them fewer and fewer clients every year and then spending money on websites that bring them few people, if anyone at all, is it any wonder that so many American businesses are on the verge of going under?
What we can do to help is to tell people two things. The first is that they may want to consider paying less for advertising in the phone books. It’s simply not worth as much as it was years ago. They need to tell the sales people from the phone book companies that they are charging too much for too little. They should demand lower rates. If enough
people refuse to pay the higher rates then the rates will come down. The second is that we can teach businesses how to make websites that bring in paying customers not just locally and but from around the world. If we can help our friends reduce unnecessary costs and bring in new business, for some of them, it may make the difference between firing or hiring and opening their doors instead
of closing them. With that in mind I have included a free tutorial on how you can make your website more successful.

Free Tutorial on Websites
If your website is not in the top ten of Google, Yahoo and the other search engines for words and phrases relating to the products you sell then your website is most likely losing money. Below is a free tutorial I wrote to help American businesses sell more products so they can keep their doors open and hire more people. It explains the ten most important
things you can do to take control of your new or existing website(s) and make them more successful both with the search engines and with the people who visit them.
The people who design the software at Google and other search engine companies, have one primary job. To design a program that evaluates if what your website offers is better or worse than your competition’s. If you do a better job of impressing them than anyone else then your website will be listed at number one. On the other hand...
Top Ten
Reasons Your Website Is Not Number One In The Search Engines
10) The search engines have you pegged as an amateur
Search engines run a “Who Is” to verify how many years you prepay your website registration. If you only register your site for one, two or three years the search engines may decide you are an amateur, scammer, spammer or pornographer and rank your site accordingly.
Solution: Register your site for ten or more years in advance.
9) The search engines think your site is too slow
The search engines know that people prefer to visit websites that load quickly. If your graphics have too big a file size or your site loads to slow (bad server) it can kill your site in the search engine rankings.
Solution: Make sure your pictures load quickly and check the speed of your site at InternetSupervision.com
8) The search engines think your site is too small
A five or ten page site is not going to beat a ten thousand page site for words like “watches”. If your site is too small it will not rank against its larger competitors.
Solution: Size does matter. Be realistic. You have two choices. Build a bigger site or select a target phrase that is easier to win.
7) Your site confuses the search engines
The most common mistake people make is “assuming” that the search engines know what words to rank their websites for.
Solution: To avoid confusing the search engines properly fill in all titles, descriptions, keywords, alt tags, etc...
6) Your website lacks a reason for people to return
The search engines monitor how many times people visit your site. If your website is simply an advertisement for your product or services very few people will return a second time. This in turn convinces the search engine that people do not like your site and so they search engines move you down in their rankings.
Solution: Putting the types of information that people will want to access over and over again is they key to getting people to return to your site a second, third, fourth time. It is also a major part of moving your site higher in the search engines.
5) Your text lacks originality
The search engines compare the text on your site to the text on every other website on earth. If you have the same text as any other sites your site will not rank.
Solution: Use only original on your website.
4) Your site has broken links.
Website owners are constantly moving their websites to new domains, changing page addresses, etc. This in turn can break any links you have pointing at their sites. The search engines absolutely hate websites with broken links.
Solution: Check the links on your site every week and fix any that are broken.
3) Your site is too flashy
Search engines can’t see pictures, colors or flashy graphics. This is why some of the most beautiful websites in the world are not in the top ten of the search engines.
Solution: It’s okay to use pretty colors, pictures and even flashy animations, but if you want your website to rank you need to add lots of text, links and quality information because this is what the search engines can see and so is the basis they use to evaluate your website.
2) Your site does not have enough referrals
The search engines feel that if a lot of sites link to yours that your site is a good source of information. Conversely if not enough sites link to your site then your site is a poor source of information. If your site does not receive enough referring links the search engines will assume your site lacks quality information.
Solution: Put quality information on your website that other website owners will want to refer (link) the visitors on the sites too. Creating a source of information other sites will link to is the best way to increase your websites rankings in the search engines.
1) Your focus was wrong
You bored the readers at your site or failed to address their issues or concerns. They are not looking to be impressed with colorful marketing language. They are did not come to read an advertisement and they certainly did not come to your site hoping to see some fancy graphic that takes forever to load.
Solution: Ask yourself why people come to your site and what they are looking for. Answer their questions. Give them the information they are seeking and then give them a reason to come back over and over again and to send their friends a link to your site. The key to success is to give people what they want.
How to Find a Website Company that will help you Make a Profit
When interviewing website companies focus on profits instead of cost, how people will get to your site and what you will do to make people want to come back over and over again. Make sure the website companies know how to do all of the above. Most of all test their ability to get your site into the top ten of the search engines by checking the rankings of their current websites by doing searches
on the web for the products that their clients sell. If the sites they have built for others don’t rank, then chances are any site they build for you will not rank either. In other words, look for a website company where you can personally verify that they have a large number of websites that are ranking in the top ten of Google, Yahoo, etc... for the products and services offered on the
websites. It’s not magic. It is talent, education and hard work. Make your decisions wisely as it can determine whether you are hiring or laying people off down the road.

Search Engines Love Our Websites

Good Morning,
If you are looking for information on having a website built or you would like to advertise on one of our existing state or city information sites you have come to the right place.
What you are seeing may look completely and totally different that what any other web designer might have presented to you as a sample of our work. We believe however in showing you real life
websites in action. When you call us we will use this website and others to explain to you how we are different than other website companies, why we are so successful and most of all why our clients
love us.
First we need to state our company policy ...
"We refuse to build websites for spammers, scammers, pornographers or rude people." Additionally, "No snobs!" (We refer to this as the Naples, Clause).
In other words, we only build websites for people who are kind, honest and friendly. We learned our trade working to help create information sites (Such as KnightsofKindness.com) to abuse victims,
stalker victims, the disabled, senior citizens, etc... refusing to accept a dime for our hard work. Today we are among the best website optimizers you will find on the net, but we still believe in
"helping nice people" and ignoring the mean ones. If you feel you are a nice person wanting website work or to advertise on our network of sites please read on.
Very quickly ...
What we do differently starts with helping you evaluate if building a website is even a good financial investment for you or not. We
actually talk quite a few people out of throwing their money on sites that will "lose money" even though it means we do not get a sale. Over the phone we teach you how to evaluate web site
optimizers (Bad ones make you type the web site address. Good ones tell you what the site is selling and then let you search for the product to see how that site ranks in the search engines. We
explain the difference between an advertisement (people only come to your site once) or a website that is a great source of information (people visit your site over and over again and share it with their
friends). We teach you enough in one phone call so that you will understand websites more than most of the people who build them (you may doubt this now, but what we teach you is simply mind blowing). For
instance, we have read and practically memorized the patents for the major search engines and can explain the basics of why our sites will rank for you whereas someone else's site may not in words that
you will easily understand (Such as frogs and libraries).
Lower cost ...
Most companies want to charge you website hosting which sounds fairly cheap on a monthly basis but can end up being tens of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your site. We host you for
free. In fact, the only thing you pay us for is the time it takes us to build your site and for any changes you want to make.
Friendly service ...
Not only are we friendly, but unlike any company you have ever heard of we actually give discounts to people who are friendly and pay on time. Some of clients (Who we refer to as friends) have
been completely and totally shocked to hear that they received a large discount on their website simply because we saw them do something nice for someone else. That is the way we do business. That
is also why our business doubles in size about every six months and yet we are able to build long term relationships with our new friends.
We could put a two thousand page explanation of what we do on here or you could simply give us a call.
Thank you,
