Proven fact... top online competitors know that
less than 8%
of business people even take the time to understand there is a
major difference between
having a website... and
internet marketing! They don't want you to know!
Having a website
(design) = 5% of the battle. (annual updates advised)
Internet Marketing (visitors) = 46.5% of the battle. (ongoing)
Professional Copy (sales) = 46.5% of the battle. (ongoing)
Yes... Internet Marketing is
a very technically challenging field of expertise because the rules change
daily with new reports, requirements and new competition.
Check these stats
to see
new daily competition and failure rates. (nobody lets a successful money
making domain name expire). There are
60+ rules to follow
per page
(including your copy) for your web presence to be truly effective with
"natural" online marketing.
Web Design
&
Internet Marketing
have become two
completely different worlds and the difference is targeted traffic and
sales. |

For those who love to read and
have a better understanding:

3 to 5 years ago a Florida
business could throw up a website, insert some meta tags and a few
keywords and there they were in the first pages of the search
engines. With thousands and thousands of new
websites being registered daily over the last few years, high-dollar high-tech
marketing productions, and the constant altering of search engine criteria...
those days are gone. The internet is still the medium of
choice for over 75% of people searching for information,
products and services.
Don't throw your arms in the air and give up because there
really is a
better way...
right now we are simply presenting "The Why" for this common sense system.
Web development has divided into
2 very distinct and different fields...
web design, which
is your business presentation once a visitor arrives at your
website, and internet marketing which brings that visitor
to your presentation. Over the last 7 years we have received
an unbelievable amount of phone calls and emails from business
owners who have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on
presentations with very minimal results (very disappointing).
In almost every case the web designer has done exactly what they were
contracted to do... design. They study design methods
and trends, not the 60+ ever changing rules and criteria the
search engines have put in place. That is what
Internet Marketing Firms do!
Now to gain that much needed
edge, we either have to spend literally thousands in the monthly
Pay-Per-Click game, or find a better, less expensive and common sense way that actually bridges the ever-widening technology gap. |

Every business owner or manager in Florida has experimented with Internet marketing and/or
advertising at one point during their business career. Some produced results, and some produced tax write-offs. the only way to know for sure is to
try them and track the results. Reading testimonials can even be deceiving in as much as it may have worked for one type of business and not another.
What is missing is a solid, results producing permanent marketing
Foundation to build from. A program that is always there, always growing and working
for your business online. And most of all... completely
Affordable to
any size Florida business.
Since 1989, Destiny Reef Enterprises, owner of the BeNumberOne.com network, has remained
committed to experimenting with many different online techniques and retain only the best while building this 42 domain, 300,000 page Florida business network and now
enjoys over 20,000 top Florida rankings with thousands and thousands of target visitors. Here are the simple and successful rules that have emerged during the
last 8 years.
1.
"Community" In the Brick and mortar (off-line) world we build
our businesses where there is already consumers present... Location, Location, Location! A stand alone website has to spend up to 7 times as much revenue
to gain the same
targeted traffic as a community, or networked website has to spend. The community or network aspect works online in some cases better
than off-line.
2.
"Longevity" As with that same off-line business above, the
longer you remain at one location, the more recurring revenue you gain from clients who know you, trust that you will be there and return often.
3.
"Simplicity" K.I.S.S. In the B2B and actual
consumer world, most people have already done their homework and know what they want, and what they are going to spend their hard earned dollars on. They don't
have time for slow loading complicated websites. It is a
"Right Now" world and they want to find it now, buy it now... whether it is a product or
service. Another key fact is that many of the retired, semi-retired and even people who have been in business long term (doing it the old way) still have
dial-up, older slower machines with out-dated software. Make it simple and easy for them to find what they want while on your website.
4.
"Education" The web development world has branched off in two
completely different directions, the first and oldest is the
Web Designer and the second newest branch is the
Internet Marketer. The number 1
indicator here is a simple word...
Submissions! If they boast submissions, they are web designers, not internet marketers. True Internet
Marketers don't do submissions, they completely
Optimize the website (60+ rules per page) and then
Allow the major search engines to
Find your
website naturally.
|
| |
With a completely affordable annual fee of
only $179.95 for system maintenance and to do the research required to
keep ahead of all the internet and search engine changes. (I have tried to find really good
dedicated people who will work for free with no results... imagine
that).
A very large percentage of consumers
(including businesses) search online daily for a variety of products and
services, and not only for what your business has to offer. Let them also find the rest of Florida from your website, not dead-end at your website... Tapping the "Natural
Internet Traffic Flow" makes a major
difference when traffic and new business revenue is important to your business.

Just good
Florida business marketing sense!
No
single web site can combat the Florida revenue losses that happen
everyday online. Overseas and out-of state companies are
marketing Florida keywords in the major search engines and taking
business revenue right out of Florida business pocket. But... as
one
very large online Florida business community, we are turning that
around.
As you very well know,
Internet Marketing can be very expensive and confusing when you stand all alone. Which makes better business sense to
you... Experiment with trial and error using a completely
internal budget and stand alone, or be part of a statewide marketing budget
that allows for each business to participate with a minimal financial
role to play? We are not interested in spending these funds to have
millions of non-buying internet wandering people come through the
system... instead we built campaigns that bring targeted
visitors that are actually hunting for the products and
services offered by our Florida business clients (120 categories, not just a few popular ones like most directories). That's our
job, and we spend all day, everyday doing just that. |
|
Now Florida and the
world can find your business
services/products
right down to
your city! Does this system conform to all the online Marketing rules?
(Yes, even our competition says so...

"FREE"... does not work on the internet! Yes "Free"
is available everywhere, yet everyone wants "Free". So those
who seek Free are getting buried in huge databases with
thousands of other Free seekers and the only businesses that truly
get promoted are still the ones who pay for additional banners and other
advertising within the Free sites. Just think about
this... how many hours of Free would you apply to promote
other businesses online? And how effective would that Free
advertising be when compared to the businesses that actually pay?
It's only common sense. The Florida Business Marketing &
Directory System is designed to be completely fair to all
businesses, there are no additional options within the listing system for
anyone to gain an advantage over another business. The only
advantage is this... those who sign up first get the first and top
slot in
that business category for a given city and/or county!
|
|
 |
|
Internet
marketing is NOT just having a web site...
Web design is web design!
Internet Marketing is the vehicle that brings visitors that are
interested in your products and/or services to your web design.
Two completely different Business tools. Web design without
marketing is like a car without wheels.
|
 |
|
Yes, this
system is semi-exclusive... There are approximately 1.8 million
businesses registered in the state of Florida (June 2004). We can
only accommodate 15 listings per business
category in each individual region whether it be a county or city, you
will never be buried in a database with thousands of other businesses!
Why 15 per page? To be honest... that will be the
approximate number of business people that will actually take the time
to read, learn and act. And if we included all 1.8 million of them, then it will
no longer be semi-exclusive and you would just end up being buried just
like in other online directories.
|
 |
52 marketing web sites
(including the many directories) targeting internet traffic into over
200,000 thousand pages where our clients are listed!
|
 |
A dynamic directory, or
search facility means your listing is in a database and only becomes
visible when search terms are typed in the actual web site where they are
stored, not in the search engines... Static means it is a real
page that is always there! The search engines know it is there and
can index that page, and the businesses listed within their results (in most cases databases are
protected from hackers and the like so even the search engines can't see
what is in there).
|
 |
|
We all
know that with so many web sites out there competing for the available
traffic from the first couple of pages in any given search, that much of
what comes up is not what we are looking for! The System will
only list real Florida based businesses with real content
about that business. And... your business web site will not be
indexed with adult, hate or other negative web sites, they are not
allowed!
|
 |
|
The rapid
development and implementation of new technologies is leaving many Florida
business people and those searching the Internet behind...
Many small to medium Florida business people, as well as the general
public are still using older
computers, older software and slower internet connections, they can't even
"See" some of what is going on the internet.
Many cannot afford to upgrade every 6 months, many don't want to change
what they are use to using. This simple, non-distracting,
non-cluttered system can be viewed by everyone, it is the raw information
that people are looking for with none of the hype, fluff and distractions!
|
 |
|
For over 4
years during the development of this state-wide system, nearly everything
has gone right back into the system to develop more marketing tools, new
web sites and experimenting with other marketing procedures available to
learn if they are truly effective or not. Our goal is to bring
Florida and our clients to the very top in competition with the
global market.
|
 |
|
Right now,
there are 4 full time and 3 part time research and development personal
involved including the principals... We can only bring in that
select few that have a complete and total BeNumberOne
attitude (they are not easy to find). To retain a very low overhead,
which in turn keeps your cost factors in check, we have a semi-centrally
located home office in Okeechobee, Florida and the rest of the team works
from different locations including some at home based offices. This
is the internet... why make you, the Florida business owner pay for a lot
of fancy glass front buildings? We work for you as a team... and our beautiful
state!
|
 |
|
For many
reasons... the first was our own frustration with so many different
marketing opportunities that were developing on the internet! Which ones
work, and which one don't work... the hit and miss experimenting can get
to be very expensive in a short period of time. We have taken all
those years of trial and error and built a system that acts as a
cooperative effort... we are building a statewide, marketing team
effort that includes your business and can only get stronger with each new
business that comes onboard.
|
 |
|
Most of
the existing directories out there today only promote the popular regions
of Florida, and only promote the popular business types like Travel,
Entertainment and Real Estate... with our coverage of all Florida
Counties, Cities and Towns, with 120 business types within each one... this team
(this system and Florida businesses) is already building into the largest
and most powerful system in Florida today!
|
 |
|
Simple...
and yes you as a Florida business has a small role in our combined
success! All you have to do is help spread the word to both
your communities, the business world, and to the general public to
inform them that this system is available to help in their quest to find and
target the products and services they want and need online (right here in
Florida).
|
 |
|
The
Internet is global... Millions and millions of people from all over
the world are searching right now for your type of products, services and
information! Why would you only want your business listed in a local
community directory when you can now be interlinked statewide and promote
your state as well as your business to the entire world?
|
 |
|
Because of
the care we have taken when it comes to containing overhead and performing
all research and production in-house, we are proud that we have maintained
very low cost factors to you... less than the cost of one trip to a fast food place
for one meal during a single month pays your way within the Florida
Business Marketing Network for an entire year!
|
 |
|
We feel
that simple is best... If you come onboard for an entire year, and
you don't feel that your new contacts during that year have been worth it... Then your next year is free! But you
must honestly track new business contacts over the next year and show us
that this did not help you. (we have a third party recording and
verifying visitor stats)
|
 |
Only through you, a Florida
business person's participation will we all benefit as a statewide team...
it is already working Florida!
|
|
 |
|
In 2004,
approximately 40,000 new web sites are registered worldwide daily!
Only 5% or less can be seen on the surface in the major search engines!
Are you on the surface? Can you be found under many different
search terms and not by simply typing your domain name?
|
|
 |
|
For those who
want to be part of that group on the surface... take the time to read and learn with the
wealth of information and opportunity contained within the navigation
below. Act now... it's your network Florida!

not tracking and analyzing all of
your web site's statistics...
then you are not serious yet!
