Yep - had to work hard to get near the top to protect our brand. And you get to see my learning curve of raising awareness on the web. I have also posted in many directories, list servs, online classifieds - all in attempts to 'figure out' online marketing and let tech folks know about the service.

Using a .net extension was our first choice because we wanted to create a network of tech resources - but many others used the techdrive name and were likely to get our initial traffic.

I still haven't figured out how to get google to show our proper description yet. We have the proper meta tags and description - but google is still showing the old content from when we just had a placeholder page up.

Still have alot of learning to do.....

And I will be sticking around!

Happy to report - Techmate number 100 just signed up. And one or two from this board as well. And some great feedback by pm and from other forums. We are working to make the changes techmates have requested - so the site is changing daily.
