How
To Get People
To Your Web Site
Once your website has been designed, produced
and uploaded to the Internet, you need people to visit it. With
more than 60 million sites on the Internet, how does some find
your site first?
Most people will look for a site by way of a
search engine, so how do they find your web site, out of the
60 million others?
Location,
Location,
Location
In business
there is a saying Location, Location, Location, it's just the
same you need to be on the High street (first 30 retained) not
a side road (somewhere in the thousands of other returned searches).
When someone
queries a search engine for a keyword related to your site's products
or services, you need your page appear in the top 30 matches.
If you're listed but not within the first two or three pages of
results, you lose, no matter how many search engines people use
to try and find your web site.
Two
Obstacles to
Solving This Problem
There are
two obstacles to solving this problem. First you have to know
the techniques that will move you into a top 30 position. Then,
once your WebPages have achieved a top 30 search position, your
web site needs to be monitored to keep check your web sites progress.
We
Know How To
Achieve This
That's where
we come in, we know how to achieve this for you and keep you there.
We can offer this service at a very reasonable cost, click here

Facts
& Figures
A top 30 ranking
in a major search engine such as Yahoo!, Lycos or AltaVista often
will generate more targeted traffic than an expensive banner advertising
campaign -- and, a good search engine position is only available
if you know the tricks of the trade.
Consider
this: Virtually everyone begins their Web browsing
at one of the 10 major search engines. Your rank in these search
engines determines how many people will find and visit your Web
site. Major search engines attract more distinct visitors than
almost any other Web sites. Yahoo! alone boasts 55 million page
views a day - and that was back in December of 1997!
Being in the
Yellow Pages doesn't ensure even one phone call. You need a good
listing, a large display ad. In search engines, the higher you
rank under important keywords, the more traffic you'll get.
Nearly
90% of traffic to most Web sites comes from search engines:
Search engines
remain the number one way that people find Web sites - 2 years
in a row. This study proves something most of you already know
-good positions in the search engines produce big results, and
increased profits.
The
Future Will be
Electronic Cash
- Barclay
Coin - Web link: www.barclaycoin.co.uk
- Visa
Cash
- Mondex
Smart Card
Some customers
are unhappy about giving out there credit or debit card details,
electronic cash schemes could give them greater peace of mind.
At the moment they aren't real alternatives to giving there
card details. However, in the future, though, they may be a
secure way to make small payments. With electronic cash, they
can transfer funds from a standard account and store them in
an electronic wallet on there computer or on a smart card (a
plastic card with a microchip). This means they don't have to
keep transmitting there credit card details over the internet.
If fraudsters did somehow hack into there wallet or smart card,
they could take only the money that was in there; if they had
there credit card details, on the other hand, they could spend
hundreds of pounds. And although there liability is limited,
this can still be a nuisance to sort out.
