One of the comments on the article offers an opposing view: Justin Feb 13, 2009 3:13 PM GMT DO NOT listen to this guy! This article is nothing but the "opinion" of an uninformed CPA. His opinions are supported by NO credible data. Here are credible stats that completely refute Mr. Marks article: -73% of consumers use search engines to find local businesses from which to buy (WebVisible/Nielsen NetRatings, 2008) -Search engines are the first source to which consumers turn to find local businesses (31%), ahead of even print yellow pages (30%). (TMP Directional Marketing/comScore, 2008) -Over 77% of people said they were more likely to make a purchase from an unfamiliar business with a quality Web site than a poor Web site from a known business (WebVisible/Nielsen NetRatings, 2008) Mr. Marks, next time you are asked to write an article about anything related to marketing, please do your research and support your opinions with credible statistics.
