Neustar and .Biz are celebrating 10 Years of small business successes and is excited to announce the First Quarter 2012 Recipient of the Best of .biz Awards. Of the ten Best of .biz Nominees featured in the .biz 10th Anniversary promotion, ArteWorks.biz, an Austin SEO company based in Texas, closed the first quarter as the undisputed winner.

Shortly after its inception as an Internet marketing and Web design firm in 1995, ArteWorks shifted direction to fill the gap as SEO gained prominence. Today, ArteWorks is an award-winning SEO firm recognized for delivering innovative, long term results and staying ahead of the curve. Matt Foster, ArteWorks SEO founder and CEO credits his business’ success in part to its .biz web address. Foster says, “Our .biz domain shows customers that we mean business. My.biz allows us flexibility in choosing a domain name that reflects who we are, is widely recognized, and is ranked well on the search engines. ArteWorks SEO has experienced tremendous success and growth using the .biz domain extension.”

Awarding ArteWorks SEO the coveted Best of .biz Award is just the beginning of this yearlong promotion to recognize the achievements of small business around the world. Congratulations to Arteworks.biz!
