We were in first place on every search engine when you typed in the key words we were looking for. It was easy. No one else was on the internet, not even the customers we were looking for. Today all of the customers and all of the competitors are using the internet. There's a lot of compitition. Staying on the first page is very dificult. I spend 60 to 90 minutes every day working on the internet and our web site. I also fell into the "Pay per click" trap. It was very cheep in the beginning. As it became popular the price per click went up, way up. I don't do "Pay per click" at all today. The importance of my web site increases every time I comment on a blog such as this one. This is one more link going to my web site. Mark, thank you for maintaining this blog. It provides a service to the water industry. Our company web site was on the internet in the 1990s.
