Pretty good discussion with the client, and not in the bank yet until paper work starts, but promising.
When she calls back will tell. My hopes are up anyways. 5 months with no work sucks.
This just proves to me a website can help tell people I am here.
And I thank you for getting me into this.

No problem. Make sure to include them on your next round of business cards. That way when an agent hands your card out or you hand it out, they have a place to go to find more information on you.

Also, make sure you've started doing the link exchange to boost your ranking up!

Or like you said: not working at all!  Think I need to do some revamping of my home page.  I'm getting some hits again (finally) and my site grades well (no, I don't put all my stock in that!) but the calls are not coming for some reason.  Maybe need to rethink...something...lol  Smiley

Casey, it is probably just dead in your area like here.
How do you find out how many hits your site gets. I don't have a clue.  Smiley

www.google.com/analytics
You sign up for a Google account, then they give you a tracking code that you put on your site.  It was awhile ago, so I'm not totally sure of where exactly I placed it (think it was on my Home Page) and found a way to hide it from everyone. 
Google then searches your site, records visits, if they're new or returning, what day, what country, state, town it came from...way more stuff than I even use!  But it is helpful to look at.

I finally got a call from my Philadelphia site! I was actually going to drive through S.E. Pennsylvania to see if there were any signs of life out there. That call proves to me that people breathe there. Grin Grin Grin

There's a tutorial on Google Analytics in the Website Tutorial section. You want to put the code in a block so it appears on every page.
