There is no such thing as free web site traffic yet there are many low cost and accessible ways to increase web site visibility to the search engines. The traffic isn’t free. It results from many thousands of hours invested in understanding the system and creating the right online conditions.
Sticky Link is a venture conceived by me and my eldest son. I have been involved in the internet almost since its conception. I began using email in 1987 while working at Sun Microsystems. In 1989 I joined the company whose founder, Jim Clark, became one of the founders of Netscape. This was Silicon Graphics. Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics supplied a significant slice of the computers that hosted the internet in the late eighties and early nineties.
My eldest son has forged a technical career working for a series of email marketing companies. In the course of his work, he has written and enhanced several email marketing software applications. He has an astonishing ability to grasp and mentally manipulate great complexity.
Starting my own business in 1996 involved leveraging the expanding internet for marketing purposes because it could be much more efficient than the old methods. We built our first web site on Compuserve that same year. The following year we acquired our own domain name – www.salessense.co.uk. Since then we have rebuilt the site from the ground up, four times.
Since around 1999, we have enjoyed a nearly unbroken record of page one natural search listings on Google for the search term ‘sales training’. We can’t claim much credit. For many years I was at a loss to explain exactly how we had achieved this and it is only in recent years that I have gained enough understanding to explain it to others.
Now we are in a position to help others achieve the online visibility they deserve, not so much by stepping in and taking over online marketing. Instead, we offer clarity and understanding of the processes involved. We aim to sweep away the mystic and help those who have the will, achieve sustainable page one listings for chosen search terms. There is no such thing as free traffic , yet high visibility can be achieved without substantial capital outlay.
