SEO.com Jumps Into Web Design Business With Graphics.net Acquisition

Online marketing and search engine optimization firm SEO.com is expanding its services to include web design / development with the acquisition of Graphics.net , as announced yesterday for an undisclosed amount. Michael Benson from Graphics.net will join SEO.com as the vice president of Web development. The acquisition of Maryland-based Graphics.net by SEO.com makes sense, because the latter can now combine website optimization with design services and social media applications. It's also funny to note Graphics.net actually did some design and other work for SEO.com in the past, so there were already some ties.
