While they are there…

I certainly had no knowledge of the power of links or the numerous tricks and techniques for getting a website ranked in Google. I saw…

We Build Pages will be changing its name to Internet Marketing Ninjas….in a few months…. Wow…it was a little over 12 years ago I went online for the very first time. Two weeks after getting online I bought the domain name WeBuildPages.com. A week after that I and designed my first site (webuildpages.com) and I gave the site the slogan of “Designing and Marketing Websites”. When I bought the name,…
