			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="smallboldtitle"><strong>Osceola Garage,</strong> located in Baldwin Place, New York.  A first class automotive shop. Their site was in need of some serious updating. In these times, if your not making use of your site to promote your business, then you may as well forget about growing your business.</span></p>
<p><span class="smallboldtitle"><a class="thickbox" href="http://www.vin2web.com/wp-content/gallery/clients/osceola-garage.jpg"></a></span> </p>

Then adding lots of relivant content. Makeing the site user friendly and friendly by adding staff pictures and  photo galleries etc. Basically making the site so sticky you cant not get new customers. </span></p>
<p><span class="smallboldtitle">How do you get &#8216;found&#8217; on search engines like Google and Yahoo? Just remember &#8216;Content is key&#8217;.

This is what is known as &#8216;Organic results&#8217; &#8211; the free section ( as opposed to the PPC  section).</span></p>
<p><span class="smallboldtitle"><strong>Joe Marconi</strong></span>, an ASE-Certified Technician, established Osceola Garage in 1980. Under his direction the Osceola Garage has become a leader in the auto repair field and has reached this status by being dedicated to quality service and a goal of 100% customer satisfaction.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Out with the old and in with the new!</h3>
<p>Autoguide Publications turns 26!  Autoguide publishes biweekly it&#8217;s guide for used cars and trucks for the upstate New York region. Their website, <a href="http://www.nyautoguide.com" target="_blank">NYAutoguide.com</a>, has over 3,000 vehicles in preowned inventory and growing every day. </p>
<div id="attachment_239" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.vin2web.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/nyag-20091.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-239 " title="NY Auto Guide - 2009" src="http://www.vin2web.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/nyag-20091-150x150.jpg" alt="NY Auto Guide - 2009" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">click to view</p></div>
<p><strong>Auto Dealers</strong> in the New York area are jumping onboard NYAutoguide as an additional avenue to promote and sell their vehicles online and in print. Autoguide Publications makes the choice and transition a simple one.</p>
