SAN DIEGO -- BusinessOnLine (www.BusinessOL.com), the leader in Internet marketing and complete Web site optimization for BtoB companies, today announced a record year in new client acquisition, the achievement of a major corporate milestone and significant growth in search engine marketing services for manufacturers.

In 2005, BusinessOnLine (BOL) was selected to perform Internet marketing activities including strategy, Web site design and search engine marketing, by over 150 BtoB companies. The record year in new client growth brings the total number of BtoB companies BOL has served to over 500 -- a key milestone for the company and a testament to its market-leading Web site optimization services.

In addition, BOL reported a major increase in spending on search engine marketing and optimization from new clients in the manufacturing industry. Over 80 percent of new manufacturing clients enlisted BOL for search related marketing activities in 2005. This represents a year-to-year increase of 60 percent when compared to new manufacturing clients in 2004 that invested in search engine marketing.

"In the last 10 years, we've seen a steady increase in manufacturers adopting the Internet to drive sales, but 2005 marks a breakout year for manufacturers investing in new tactics and expanding the role of their Web site in the overall business plan," said Aaron Kahlow, Principal of BusinessOnLine. "The growth of manufacturers engaging search engine marketing services alone indicates that Internet marketing is reaching a high level of acceptance for its ability to generate real business results for North American manufacturers and help them compete on a global scale."

BOL's Enterprise Web Site division experienced the most significant growth, bringing in over 40 percent of the overall new client base, including recognized leaders in healthcare and manufacturing such as: BREG/Orthofix, Omron Healthcare, Greif, ITW, Bastian Material Handling, Key Technology, EIS, Kaydon, Spencer Turbine and Fisher Regulators.

Kahlow adds: "In previous years, manufacturers and BtoB clients were trying to understand how a Web site works and why to have one. Now, a majority of new clients enter the partnership with high expectations for Internet marketing to increase their company's bottom line, and across the board they identify search engine marketing and optimization as a central component of their strategy."
