Contest winner Rob Hasselbaum will be provided with tools and free consultation from a search engine-marketing expert from Hostway.

Hostway Corporation, a provider of web hosting and managed services, today announced the winner of their contest held in May. From around 2,000 entrants, Rob Hasselbaum, owner of educationaltoyland.com, was declared winner and was awarded a $5,000 credit in Google AdWords.

Rob and his daughter, Dawn, are said to have launched educationaltoyland.com about 8 months ago, with dreams of providing educational toys to children. Hasselbaum will be enabled with tools to connect with more prospects that are searching for educational toys, increasing the flow of qualified leads to his web site and only pay when people click on his ad. In addition, he will receive a free consultation from a search engine-marketing expert from Hostway to help get his marketing campaign headed in the right direction, said the company.

"The Internet has become such an important factor in the growth of small businesses that it's important for every business operator to have a strategic plan to drive traffic to their site. In addition to Web hosting, Google AdWords is one of the many tools Hostway offers to help their customers increase the visitors to their site," said John Lee, Vice President of Marketing at Hostway.

"The online educational toy business is very competitive, however, with this award we now have the ability to try new campaigns and learn what works through trial and error. We are going to take advantage of this opportunity to its fullest extent," said Hasselbaum.
