Back in the beginning of the internet, you could send people to your web page, and with some decent copy it might convert. But that has really changed now. Now, you have lots of competition. You have lots of competition from everyone – people who don’t know what they are doing, people who do know what they are doing – and unless you are firmly established on the search engines, you aren’t getting much free traffic.
