The key is Search Engine Optimization and Laurie Baldwin of NetBaldwin is specialist in helping websites get found! Her tips can put your website at the top of the list; don't miss the interview.

Search Engine Optimization
Join us this week as we meet Laurie Baldwin, co-founder of NetBaldwin and a native of Michigan, who founded the company two years ago to design strategies for search engine optimization and marketing. Laurie and her associates help companies make sure that their clients are in front of a potential.

Over 80% of us who use the Internet rely on search engines, like www.google.com, to find everything from a right hand headlamp for the '99 Plymouth van to directions to a bed and breakfast in northern Indiana. While it's important for us to find what we want in as few tries as possible, it's just as important for the people who sell the headlamps and run the bed and breakfasts to have us find them... first or pretty close to the top of the 135,943 responses to our search! Enter Search Engine Optimization, the art of helping companies make sure that they are found among the billions of sites on the Net.
