About Neale Internet (neale.ca)
Hello my name is David Neale and I've been involved in the Internet business world for more than 14 years. I registered my first domain in April of 1995, amazingly all website domain names were free at that time, you simply needed to claim any domain you liked. Of course that soon changed :).
It feels a little odd talking about myself but I realize it helps to know who you are dealing with if we do business together.
I've been a small business owner for more than twenty years. Before the Internet came along I spent several years in sales, then management and finally I started my first business selling products to companies like Costco and The Bay (a major Canadian department store). I sold that business after 5 years and about that time the Internet was appearing on the scene and, having always been very interested in computers and programming, I jumped in with both feet.
I started a new company called Webscape Internet in 1996 as a website hosting company, within months we were building websites for clients as well. Within a few years it became very apparent that these businesses needed some kind of online marketing so I began to work and learn all about the search engine world. This was when Yahoo was the top gun, before Google even existed. I remember the first really great book I read on the subject was called "Make Your Site Sell" by Ken Evoy and it was remarkable in it's day. Ken Evoy remains a respected Internet pioneer.
The next big change in online market was Pay Per Click (PPC) and the first serious player was a company called "Overture", later to be acquired by Yahoo. I started using PPC for clients with Overture around 2001 and have continued to recommend it to my clients ever since. The primary players today are Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
I started Neale Internet (neale.ca) to offer more comprehensive solution to small business. A service that takes all aspects of a companies online involvement and offers my experience and knowledge to help guide business owners towards things that work... and work cost effectively. It's easy to waste an awful lot of money if you are listening to the wrong people.
I'd like to meet or talk with so please feel free to contact me. I'd love to learn more about your business and discuss how you might better work the web.
