Every Business Benefits at New Business Community and Search Engine at MyCubicleSpace.com

Free online promotion for small businesses is the goal of MyCubicleSpace.com founder Brian O'Grady of Watertown, Massachusetts. His new site at http://www.mycubiclespace.com introduces the next generation in business search engines by greatly expanding the scope of an online business community. Businesses that join MyCubicleSpace.com benefit from access to MySpace-community-style features including classifieds, website promotion, press release posting, and even blog promotion, all for free.

Of MyCubicleSpace.com, O'Grady said, "There are business communities out there, but we are a business community search engine on steroids."

Consumers search for businesses at the site by choosing a region and entering keywords. This is how businesses that join MyCubicleSpace.com can permanently position themselves online for free with the keywords of their choosing. Keyword targeting has been the bread and butter of pay-per-click advertising like that offered by Google, but rising keyword costs and the expenses of click fraud, as mentioned recently in Business Week, are too high for small business budgets. In one form of click fraud, pay-per-click ads of competitors are clicked in order to use up their daily budgets and stop their ads from appearing. This type of fraud is especially damaging to small businesses, which has created a need for keyword targeted alternatives to pay-per-click advertising.

Knowing that many small businesses need to succeed with internet marketing, O'Grady developed MyCubicleSpace.com to provide businesses with a space for free website promotion and exposure to consumer searches. There is no cost for a business to join the MyCubicleSpace.com community or for people to search the community. The site plans to earn revenue from advertising, but O'Grady said, "It's not about the money right now. It's about building a strong exciting site."

MyCubicleSpace.com has been in development since the spring of 2006. By November a steady stream of businesses were joining every day, and O'Grady decided the site had reached the point where he could publicly announce the service. His efforts will now focus on taking the site to the next level by increasing membership and informing consumers of the business search engine.

"We really want to give businesses a chance to promote themselves," O'Grady said and added that creating a powerful business search engine for consumers to find businesses locally and nationally was the best platform for doing that.

Creating a business profile at the site also serves businesses as a useful tool for improving the search engine optimization of their own websites. A profile at MyCubicleSpace.com gives businesses an important opportunity to place a link to their website, and back links to a website are crucial for SEO, especially when they are associated with appropriate content.

Joining the MyCubicleSpace.com community is easy and free. Any business can visit http://www.mycubiclespace.com and enter its profile and assign keywords to the profile. Uploading a company logo image is also free. After adding a business profile, all features of the site are available and business members can post to the classifieds, announce events and seminars, post press releases, and more.

O'Grady said, "It's an absolute no-brainer for a business to sign up and get its profile online for free."
