Can the search engines? Do this exercise with each inner page of the site as well. Is what each page has to offer, truly crystal clear? Or does your website presume that people already know who you are and what you're about. If it's the latter, you may have an online brochure on your hands, which isn't a good thing.<br/><br/>20 Vote(s) ]]></description>
