For example, a new dot-com website decided they wanted to promote a business called “Make A Website”. They targeted a very competitive market with high search volume aimed towards people that want to make a website. Besides making it clear to their searchers they could design a website, they said, why not make it cost free and give it away to all interested customers. They then created content around people who want to make a website and did SEO work to get it to show up on search engines.
