many clients do you have?

are currently promoting around 50 clients monthly.
Why
monthly?
Your
website changes and so do the search engines. We have
found in our three years of promoting websites just
like yours that monthly promotions are the most effective
way to get (and maintain) rankings within the search
engines. We suggest that in order to be most effective
that you change your index page in some way, every month.

studies have shown that a high percentage of surfers
find sites that they like by visiting search engines.

different programs.

have found that manual submissions work the best.
