Your Customers Are Online….Are They Finding You or Your Competition?
Oct 19th
Have you ever thought about how many people are online today? Sure it sounds like common sense….people use the internet, but have you ever really thought about it?
How Many People Are Online?
There are over 307 million people in the United States according to the US Census Bureau. Of this number about 220 million people in the US use the internet. The 87 million people that aren’t online include infants, small children, Amish people, hicks, some older adults and maybe a few people who have lived in a box for their whole life…The fact is nearly everyone is online. This includes you, your friends, your family and most importantly….your potential customers.
It’s sometimes hard to put large numbers into perspective, so I’m going to try. As I said there are 220 million people in the US that use the internet. Yankee Stadium holds: 57,545 people at it’s capacity.
Two hundred twenty million people would fill up Yankee Stadium almost 4,000 times- That’s how many people are online in the US alone!
When you’re in a filled stadium like that, in a long line at an amusement park or sitting in traffic jam just think….all of these people are online searching for information just like me.
How Many Searches Occur Daily?
There are roughly 14.3 billion searches every month. This is according to a research study done by comScore who constantly gathers information from all the major search engines. That means over 476 million searches occur every day or over 5,500 searches every second. People are searching for any and everything, including your product, or services as well as the problems your business can solve. These motivated consumers are going to find someone. Will it be you or one of your competitors?

Search Engine Optimization Tips for Online Success
Aug 2nd
Search Engine Optimization is nothing new, however many people are still baffled with how it works and what it takes to dominate the search engines for a given term. Ranking well for strategically selected keyword terms in your niche will drive highly motivated potential customers to your web-presence, which will result in more sales, leads and inquires for your business.
I’ve attended lots of internet industry conferences around the country such as Search Engine Strategies in San Jose, Search Marketing Expo in New York and Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas. At these conferences I’ve listened to, interacted and built relationships with top thought leaders in the internet space. Through my research and interactions I believe this image is one of the best depictions of what it takes to dominate the search engines. The image was put together by Matt McGee of SmallBusinessSEM.com:
Utilizing the various aspects of the SEO pyramid properly will absolutely bring you success on the search engines. However it takes time, commitment and lots of effort to implement. Also keep in mind that if internet marketing is not your core competency there can be a large learning curve which can be quite costly. You can learn from your mistakes, but it is best to hire someone who has experience in the field that can help your business get the results your seeking. If you’re interested in taking advantage of SEO, social media marketing or lead generation services to grow your business leave me a comment or drop me a line at david [at] abco-solutions.com and I’d be happy to chat with you about your online success.
