I have been designing websites for many years now, and I think that my work is pretty good.  With the steady stream of clients that I have, they must think that my work is good too.

But, I wanted to continue to grow my client base, so I thought that I could setup a website to do that for me.  It would be a great way to showcase my portfolio, and perhaps increase my sales.

I knew that I had the site design down pat, but as for the marketing, that was a different cup of tea.  I had no idea of where to begin, though I guess it was good that I knew that I did need to market the site and not just hope people would show up.

I hired an SEO firm to help me out with my SEM (search engine marketing).  They showed me what I should be doing and how to do it.  I also took advantage of some of their link building packages so that they could do the work for me.  Their help was invaluable to the success of my business.
