Interland recently conducted a survey of 530 small business leaders and found that a large percentage believed that their website helped their businesses gain a competitive advantage (77%), generate leads (81%), and lessened the effects of economic downturns (55%).

Retail companies, business service providers, personal service companies and non-profits were most successful at generating leads for their businesses.
