Larson note: If you’re an online retailer you are looking at a possible nice rise in sales. But then will they be yours or your web competitor’s? Keep aware of trends in search engine and optimization technology. Gut feeling says there will be some changes in the use of banner ads. When and where you can put them. Might be a good time to find some nice synergistic reciprocal linking partners.
