 www.SA-Westcoast is a marketing tool.

brilliant advertising at a low, low cost

Our company specializes and has worked in website engineering and marketing since 1982. www.sa-westcoast.com is maintained and passionately marketed by us on an ongoing basis since it forms part of an extensive link hub linking all our clients, creating a vortex that sucks in huge amounts of browsers, because the keyword base (infomation) is so broad.

Many people don't know that building a pretty website is not enough to get your business recognised by search engines. What is of MAJOR IMPORTANCE is the structure and marketing of that site.

Today the internet is highly sophisticated and designing an efficient website requires knowledge, experience, skill and marketing, which small businesses can seldom afford. However, it is a service essential to getting search engines like Google to take notice.

Together we can build a comprehensive hub

So many of you were pleased with the exposure SA-WESTCOAST.COM has given you and asked us why we didn't charge for the service and include promoting people who paid to be members of the hub.

Only you can make it the most comprehensive hub. With your help (and that means getting you all on board! ), every bit of information about the area will be available here. We have already done an enormous amount of legwork, (300-400 pages)but it is really up to you how comprehensive and successful the site ends up.

So how would Membership of the hub benefit me/my business?

The site already gets attention from the search engines although it's nowhere near completion. Soon it will be the DEFINITIVE west coast authority, because it will showcase each and every one who is an entrepreneur there. That means that anyone searching for anything West Coast will end up on the website and will find the exact entrepreneur they are looking for!

Here your business will be exposed to your target market. It's a great opportunity to let us make your business visible and for you to take advantage of our marketing skills for the ridiculously low sum of R20 per month!

If someone is looking for a specific kind of accommodation, eatery, art gallery or spa, all the relevant information will be available here. If your business is not listed, you could be missing out on a fabulous opportunity.

Ask yourself this

• Does my website really enhance my business?
• Does it bring me business?
• Can anyone find it?
• Where does the traffic come from?
• Does it bring me sales?

In the mid 1990's, when everyone rushed to get a website, having been told that this was the thing of the future and the only way to advertise your business, colleges produced scores of 'website designers' turning out umpteen people proficient at building pretty and functional websites with not enough information in the coding to lead a search engine to the site, let alone satisfy its insatiable hunger for information.

The result is a parking lot full of magnificent websites that no-one can find unless someone gives you the actual address. Therefore you get no passing trade, no casual browsers and probably not much business.

Can this be improved?

You can change all this yourself. It is not difficult to find out what must be done and then to do it yourself, or get someone else to do it for you. However, it is a time-consuming exercise and therefore expensive. Search engines love information. When a browser types in a keyword, the search engine searches through millions of records before serving up the websites with information relevant to the search. It then offers the browser sites with as MUCH relevant information as possible.

• For this to happen, each page of a website must be optimally coded for the relevant information on that page, so that a search engine can find the information quickly and efficiently.
• The more pages of different but relevant information contained on a website, (the more keywords) the better its chances of becoming a favourite of the search engines= the better chance of the pages being served up, time after time, to browsers hungry for specific information.
• Your site should be well linked to sites with a similar trend to your own.
• You should bring attention to your site in blogs, forums and social networking sites and more, more,more.
