the Google "Snippet" System in Action

Dear Dan, My name is Brandon Stone. I'm senior tech and webmaster for a company called Martin Yale Industries. We manufacture office and graphics equipment. I took over the company website about a year ago. It had previously been ignored for about five years. So, I went out and bought a copy of FrontPage and taught myself to build webs. I have been building for about 2 years now, and have had a lot of success in the search engines. Thanks to WebProNews, that is. Without WebProNews, I don't think that I would be anywhere near as keen as I am. I definitely don't think my company would be #1 for "desktop graphics equipment" in Google.
