Just common-sense solutions for your small business in the 21st century. You don't have to be a genius to take your business to the next level, but you might have to grasp the idea that it may not be the market, rather your marketing, that's got you stuck in a rut.

Who are your clients and where are they coming from?

When you have a website, this is a question you should always be asking yourself....especially if you are doing any online advertising. Tracking referrals, site visits and time spent on your site are all things you can easily monitor with Google Webmaster Tools -- like your crystal ball of sorts...that looks into the past. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set up it, and you'll be glad you did.


With Google Webmaster Tools you'll be able to.....
Get Google's view of your site and diagnose problems
See how Google crawls and indexes your site and learn about specific problems we're having accessing it. Discover your link and query traffic View, classify, and download comprehensive data about internal and external links to your site with new link reporting tools. Find out which Google search queries drive traffic to your site, and see exactly how users arrive there. Share information about your site Tell Google about your pages with Sitemaps: which ones are the most important to you and how often they change. You can also let them know how you would like the URLs we index to appear.

So now when your clients don't remember how they found you or referred to your site, you can find out for yourself.....

Happy Business Building!!!
