How can I attract visitors to my Website?

Search Engines are critical to website promotion. "Yahoo!", "Alta Vista", Excite" and InfoSeek" are some of the more recognisable directories but there are several Australian specific search engines such as "Cowley's", and "Web Wombat" which focus on Australian sites and it is imperative your site is listed correctly.

Web servers keep statistics on the visitors to your site. This allows solid analysis of your site visitors, who referred them .. a search engine, banner or linked site and how long they stayed on your pages. It's an excellent tool to determine where your marketing is working and how to plan ways to improve the statistics.

Paid advertising is another means to encourage traffic to your site. A well designed and well placed banner can initiate outstanding results. Link exchanging can work well too.

A professional Web designer will be aware of search engine requirements, banner advertising and other options to build you a 'net friendly' site.
