WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, GetSpecific is engaged in the business of marketing Internet websites pursuant to various standard website marketing packages (the "Packages"); and
WHEREAS, Client desires to utilize GetSpecific's Website Marketing Package for its website billed monthly for the months and fees agreed upon. At the end of the original agreement the Client may continue month to month with no agreements, stop, or bring in-house.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, GetSpecific shall not be prohibited from making website design recommendations to the Client for the purpose of optimizing the website’s search engine placement.
2. Meta Tags.
A. GetSpecific shall be responsible for initially creating, implementing, and editing the meta tags for each webpage that GetSpecific is actively marketing (the “GetSpecific Meta Tags”) in conjunction with the Client or the Client's designated representative.

C. GetSpecific strongly recommends against unauthorized duplication of the GetSpecific Meta Tags for use elsewhere in the Client’s website, or on other URL’s, because a number of top search engines and directories do not endorse this marketing tactic and may negatively impact the placement of the Client’s website as a result.
