Are Cleveland venture capitalists joining the game?

Just wrote about how the Internet game has changed since the 90s when so many went bust (BlogforBusiness.com). The search engine optimization business is booming--and attracting new venture capital--because the Internet is easier and faster to use, yes, but also because more people are getting smart about converting visitors to buyers. That equals revenue, folks.

Thus we have the growth of search engine optimization--(see earlier entry about Cleveland SEO companies) which is really a new branch of direct marketing/advertising. Cleveland companies all know each other in that sector, too, and some are looking to buy out others, both to eliminate competition and to build critical mass in revenues--margins get better with repeat business.

Isn't it fun being alive at a time when everything around you changes in the time it takes you to order a multi-grain roll and a mocha latte? " )
