It is important to have a professional and informative web presence, but getting work (i.e. making a sale) via web advertising will have a very, very low hit rate. Until you have the contract/job, you are a sales person - get out there and sell! Don't be passive and wait for people to come to you - that's just waiting for good luck. Be active - network, meet people, call them, follow up meetings with calls, etc. People will actively seek you out on the 'net once they know who you are. I agree entirely.
