Investing your marketing budget and time in creating quality, enduring blog posts rather than temporary ads will not only attract more visitors to your website, but will also improve the quality of customer enquiries.

More than 1 billion people visit Facebook Pages each month. These numbers confirm that a large number of Facebook users are active and consistent in their visits to the site.
