Of course marketing efforts have become more difficult and costly due to increased competition. As mentioned on one of our recent webinars, most **[hosting](https://blog.summithosting.com/12-abuse-reporting-tips-for-web-hosts)** related keywords on Google AdWords are well over $40 per click which makes the cost to acquire a client astronomical for web hosts.
