My grandfather taught me that word to mouth is the best advertising. I have found that to be true through my life. It s a lot slower than mass media but more stable.
In this environment, I found the best is to let people get to know me by answering questions freely. I also believe in putting links where appropriate. as you note I have a tag that search engines pick up and I track where my hits from come from, that and the clients I get, have supported this method for years. I use two tracker both free. http://awstats.sourceforge.net/ which reads the website logs and gives charts and data http://www.xav.com/scripts/axs/ which creates it own log and give by page data. ========================= BJ Freeman http://bjfreeman.elance.com Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=93> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man Linkedin <http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1237480&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro> ScottA sent the following on 4/30/2010 8:45 AM: > If I were the guy who asked the question, I’d be gone by now.
