With more than 6 years experience with Search Engine Optimization and Web Analytics I have seen both these fields exploding with changes month after month. It is very important for companies to realize the power of money can be generated by using Search Engines to drive customer sales or impressions. Think Mantra was started to help businesses understand what SEO can do for them and how they can track their returns. Think Mantra aims to provide purely white hat SEO services to gain strength in organic search results primarily on Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask search engines.
