Having a professional online presence is important to all of us.  Building your online presence through social media sites like LinkedIn can play a major role in attracting new customers and driving traffic to your website.
 
LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network ─ yet many small business owners are so busy they cannot fully understand its potential to generate leads. In many cases, LinkedIn profiles appear in the first 10 online search results.
