I would take highlights from each person that listed and would say this is a good start. Google is very smart also.It pays to make sure your spelling and your order of your text is what you think your customers will punch in.(ie If a customer is looking Film Processors, text on your page reading as Processors Film will give a lesser ranking.) I have no evidence to back this up other than my own pages and queries. But this is what I've found. Processor Film and your site will probably never be reached by that customer query.Donovan> > > : c) > > MK > -- -Donovan Brooke -Administrator of IT / -Assc.
