If Myspace and Facebook are not getting you the attention you crave, then maybe you should consider hiring a professional to represent you on the internet. Let’s face the facts here, the internet is everywhere. A lot of people may even go as far as to say that a business is not a business without a professional website.

Lucky for you there are two ski bums from Ellicottville who have found their place in the world via the internet and the connection online. Billy Bacon, 39, and Mike Eckley, 47, have discovered the key to success without having to change out of their ski wear. They know how to represent you online and they will not charge you an arm and a leg to do so.

The internet offers a wealth of knowledge that many people take to heart. Bacon, originally from Southern California, describes his job as “turning the screws on the internet like any mechanic would.” His business partner, Eckley, originally from Clevland, Ohio, assists Bacon to create the most efficient websites for their clientele.

Most of the websites that the duo has created involve selling things such as Newfounland dogs (www.newfiedog.com) or Real Estate (www.ski-town-cafe.com). They have even created an online user forum for Holiday Valley where people can view photos or talk about skiing or snowboarding; it is similar to a digital bulletin board (www.HolidayValleyForums.com).

What makes their service so special is that they model their websites after traditional media. They know what will get your businesses website into the top of the search engine results. It is a process known as SEO marketing or ‘Search Engine Optimization.’ They use key words that people type into search engines and build content to match.

The description to a website is what leads search engines, such as Google, to what people are looking for. Google also has Adwords, which appear in the column next to the search returns. Businesses pay Google for each response they get from these advertisements, it is a process known as Pay Per Click.

If you think that a website is exactly what you need to promote yourself and business Bacon and Eckley are more than willing to help you out. Because they are located in Ellicottville, they are able to meet potential clients at any Wi-Fi location. 

Bacon and Eckley know how to get people to their websites and that is why they are so successful at what they do. If you want to get people to your website or if you want to create a website at a price you can afford check out www.website-seo-ny.com for more information.
