I've spent years in the small town working with businesses of all different kinds. One thing that most small towns have in common is complete invisiblity on the web. Even though most people use the internet in small towns for various things, businesses don't tap into that market properly. They don't hire professionals to create and market there company, they just hope people find it. We have are starting an experiment in Fort Smith Arkansas to see if we can change this trend within one year, and without companies having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. By linking business together that are from similar communities and have similar needs, and encouraging business owners to write blogs about or at least frequently update web pages with information about there business. If we can improve our towns visability to search engines withing the next few months then we plan to use the same method in other small towns around the country. We want the internet to reflect our town when you search for it, not just go to spam and governement sites. Anyone who wants to recieve help in becoming a part of this project is welcome to email us at smckinney@kirkhamsystems.com. or visit our web site at http://www.kirkhamsystems.com.
