• Joe The Plumber’s Landing Page

  But one problem nags at me. Local merchants like “Joe The Plumber” usually don’t have a web presence and many don’t really even want one. But if you are going to buy cpc advertising, then you’ll need a place for the clicks to go. The local ad agencies and local oriented web services are happy to create a web presence for local merchants, but they are often poorly designed and there’s no standardization of them.
