“Technology companies are notorious for creating web sites oriented towards the technical needs of the business, but often overlook factors that contribute to search engine friendliness” says Lee Odden, Founder of TopRank Online Marketing. “As a result, many IT companies make substantial investments in web sites that provide excellent information and are easy to maintain, but suffer from limited search engine exposure and lost opportunity.”

Vernier’s online marketing program begins in early November 2003 with keyword analysis, search engine optimization, manual submissions and an aggressive link building program.
