"In short, Internet marketing is itself not a tool to increase leads, sales, or brand awareness. It’s a medium of communication, in the language consumers are already speaking, and small business owners need to be aware of this so that they don’t get left out of the conversation."
This is so true and more SMB owners need to come to this realization. Thanks for sharing your insights with us.

And yeah SMB need to learn this, but I think it's the responsibility of those who *do* get it, to give it over in a way that business owners can understand.
