Re: Why Your Business' Website Is Not Making You Money - Hi Jackie, As GT has said, word of mouth has a place on the Internet but is usually more associated in a local sense. I have seen some fantastic websites that don’t get traffic and very poor sites that get lots of traffic but no sales. The trick is to find a niche or a product where there is a demand. Design a relevant website full of interesting and updated content. Drive as much traffic by whatever means that you can. If you can bring these three elements together then you are far more likely to make a success of your Internet business. regards, Mal.
