About Image Builders

Image Builders began in 1995 as a web design company. In March of 1996 the company developed three of its own internal portals on which it sold advertising. One site was House & Garden Online, www.imagesbuilder.com on which home and garden related businesses purchased 1 to 3 page web pages. A second site, About Knoxville, www.knoxvilletennessee.com, was sponsored by the automotive industry. The third site, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, received a large volume of Internet traffic; however, advertising space on that site was not sold until 2001.

Since then, Image Builders has transformed from a web design company to primarily an Internet marketing company. Although we do build web sites on a selective basis (mostly tourism related), our focus is on marketing. We have a large number of portal sites, most of which are tourism sites.

Internet marketing is a very complex field. We not only provide portals on which businesses can advertise, we also generate large volumes of email leads through our online forms, provide Referring URLs for our clients, and work with many tourism agencies throughout the country to facilitate the informational needs of tourists.

We have found that focusing on one particular field, such as tourism, enables us to do a better job for our clients as opposed to spreading ourselves too thin among many different fields.

Image Builders believes that we have only touched the tip of the iceburg in the domain game. While subject domains, i.e., www.realestate.com generate excellent revenue, a zip code domain, www.89109realestate.com (Las Vegas Strip) can generate outstanding revenue as well. Conceptual domains, www.grandtetongetaway.com can generate as much, if not more, revenue as www.grandtetons.com.

Our web sites have always experienced high rankings on Internet search engines and directories. We have always worked hard for our clients and keep our focus on their best interests.
