Why have a web site?
It is said that there are three important components to a successful
business:
Location--- Location--- Location!
YourCounties.Com can provide your business with an Internet address that your local
customers can find easily. It's simple... Your business is in your county.
How about having your web site in the same place? A
YourCounty.Com
web site
would be an
easy-to-remember address for your customers or clients, new and old.
Otherwise, how about applying
for your own domain name?
You might even be lucky enough to get the exact name of your company!
YourCounties.Com can help you register the name that you choose with Network
Solutions. That way no one else in the world can use it but you.
Either way, your web site presence will provide your business with
exposure to traffic... and credibility.
How big is the Internet?
Businesses of all classes are rushing to have their own web
site so that they can gain immediate exposure to the millions of people world-wide who access the
Internet.
In 2003 in a supplement to the U.S. census, over 70 per cent of Americans had
one or more computers and access to the Internet. In February, 2007,
according to data from
comScore Networks' qSearch,
over 6.9 billion searches were done
over the Internet.
How do I get people to go to my web
site?
With so
many people using the Internet and so many
searches being made, how do you get your share of this traffic to your web
site? Search engines! Search engines are employed by directories such as
Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, or Ask that allow you to search the world-wide-web to find web sites
by subject, product, service and geographical location.
Your web site
MUST be included in the major search engines, including key search words
(meta-tags) in the underlying code of your web site. If traffic is the main focus of your web site, it is suggested you have
your key words submitted to these engines at least every 30 days.
YourCounties.Com offers
several low-cost search engine submission plans that will generate potential customers or
clients to your web site.
How does having a web site add
credibility to my business?
Most people have heard the old expression "Who
you are speaks so loudly that I can't hear what you are saying." Not having a web
site for your customers or clients makes a statement that your business is not tuned into
the present.
The Internet is predicted to be the number-one
communication media in the immediate future. It is predicted that businesses not having a
web site presence will not survive long into the next century. A web site can provide your
present customers or clients with information about your business that will be considered
an additional service.
The income and educational level of an average
internet user is twice that of non-internet users. Businesses with web sites enjoy extra
credibility. Conversely, failure to have a web site presence in the near future will cause
any business to lose credibility and prestige.
What kind of web site does your company
need?
A commercial web site is a web
site that can automatically facilitate on-line sales that require no human-to-human
contact.
Commercial web sites are operated by companies that are selling products that you
can purchase instantly on line with a credit card. Lately, hotels, motels, airlines,
travel agencies, car rental companies and other services requiring reservations have been
setting up commercial web sites. The obvious advantage is that this on-line order location
is open 24 hours a day and does not cost any money to staff. The only expense is the
setup, a monthly fee for the servicing of the web changes and the Internet virtual domain
host.
The noncommercial web site simply gives
as much or as little information to web visitors as provided by the owner of the web site.
Most business-persons, such as attorneys, accountants, contractors, insurance agents and
others use the informational noncommercial web sites.
