4 Elements of a Successful Business Web Presence
http://mashable.com/2010/02/10/business-web-presence/
The Website
With our goals in mind, we can begin to explore specific elements of a strong website.
The Blog
For some reason, many business owners shy away from blogs. What they don’t realize is that most business “News” sections are blogs. “Blog” simply defines any continually updated news or content section of a site. In fact, this is technically a post on a blog.
The Newsletter
There are a number of services you can use such as MailChimp and ConstantContact; it simply depends on what you want. Do your research and choose a program you like. The newsletter cost quickly pays for itself. Email marketing is one of the most effective ways to generate sales.
Social Media Accounts
Another option for capturing leads is social media. Microblogs and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter can help you connect with and contact those within your core community. For this strategy to work, your blog should serve as a central hub. The hub sends consumers to your respective social media profiles to build the connection.

A Web Presence Without a Website - WSJ.com  MAY 8, 2011
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703859304576309791299294436.html

When Leslie Richin launched a public-relations business after getting laid off in 2009, her first instinct was to invest in a company website. But hiring a professional to build one for her wasn't in the budget.

So Ms. Richin, 32 years old, set up free profiles on LinkedIn.com and Twitter.com. She created a free online business card using a service called DooID.com. And she launched a blog, spending roughly $50 on a decorative template, though she could've gotten a generic one for free.
<SNIP>
"When people get a referral to a business, what's the first thing they do? They go look for it online," says Bruce Freeman, an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Seton Hall University's Stillman School of Business in South Orange, N.J. "You need to be online."

Online Alternatives
For little or no cost, you could put your start-up on a third-party site. Some options:

  • Business directories: Yelp.com, Manta.com, YellowPages.com
  • Blog-hosting sites: WordPress.com, Tumblr.com, Blogger.com
  • Marketplaces: Etsy.com, eBay.com, Overstock.com
  • Content-hosting sites: Flavors.me, Weebly.com, Carbonmade.com, OtherPeoplesPixels.com
  • Social-media sites: Facebook.com, Twitter.com, LinkedIn.com

The 20 Most Expensive Google AdWords — And How to Compete Against Them | BNET
So what are the most searched, most expensive Google AdWords?
Winning the auction for the top slot for in-demand keywords can be incredibly expensive. For example, at the time the list was created (bidding is a dynamic and ongoing process) the top spot for “insurance” cost over $54 per click. “Mortgage” and “attorney” both cost over $47 per click for the top slot, and the most expensive keyword in the “cord blood” category cost over $27 per click.
