I'm trying to get my business off the ground and deciding how to spend money toward marketing. Any suggestions on marketing an internet based company? I'm not exactly getting drive by traffic, so I've run into some questions. I'm looking at Google's Adwords, and I have talked with Business.com. I've got a magazine ad coming out soon as well. I'm learning how expensive advertising and marketing can be!

I appreciate any advice :)

Did you know your enroll page form has no visible submit button?

I checked with the latest IE and FF.

Rats! Thanks so much for looking at that. I guess no matter how many times you go over something, there's nothing like another pair of eyes looking at your work :D

Amy,
As a start, you can probably let Google do a fair amount of 'marketing' for you - for free. I noticed that your pages have no <meta> tags for 'description' and 'key words'. If you choose them carefully, those can be quite important in making your site more visible - and more easily found - on the web.
You'll find lots of good advice at Google Webmaster Tools:
Verify you site with Google.
Submit a sitemap to Google.
Download the Google pdf guide for SEO.

I'm reading "The Ultimate Web Marketing Guide" by Michael Miller (2011). 594 pages of info :D
Lot's of great advice about where to put in the time, effort and $$$ for the best results. Best to learn about all your options before you spend the big bucks on something that might not be right for your business ;)
