DOMAIN NAMES
If you do nothing else, this is the first and most important step . There are a variety of domains to choose from. The most common are either .com or .com.au. These relate to commercial enterprises, and should be as short as possible so that your customers can remember it!

If you have a global business, a .com is essential. There are absolutely no restrictions in registering a .com domain name.

However if your customers are most likely Australian, a .com.au is the way to go. Since you have to have a registered ABN number to purchase a .com.au domain name, this shows your customers that you are an Australian business, governed by Australian trading laws. This gives your website credibility, which is very important on the world wide web.

Please note that if you have a registered Australian business with an ABN number, this does not entitle you to the same domain name. For example, Fred's Fruit Shop does not have exclusive rights to the domain name www.fredsfruitshop.com.au, if they haven't registered it first.

SECURE YOUR DOMAIN NAME
When purchasing a domain name for your business, it is important to remember to purchase both .com & .com.au, or this may lead to your opposition buying it before you do, or worse still someone may secure the .com domain name and resell it back to you for an inflated price.

Other popular domains are .net.au, which signifies an Internet business. We have a whole range of different domain names available from only $6.88 per year.

URL RE-DIRECTIONS
The best way to describe this service is that it's just like a postal redirection, but for the Internet. Send a letter to one address, and it arrives at another, while the sender doesn't know the final destination.

The Domain Manager service gives you the ability to point your chosen domain name to another Web address. It can also leave your domain name in the Web browser so the underlying address is hidden. The is called a "masked URL".

Customers looking for www.yourName.com.au are instantly redirected to:

www.yourISP.com.au/~yourName/index.html,

however your customers will not see this long ISP web address. This service is essential for businesses using a free Web site at their ISP, since these typically have long and unwieldy Web addresses.

It's also great if you are often in the habit of changing Internet Service Providers, where your domain name and email solution will not be effected. Having a personalised Web address, which remains in the Web browser, gives your site the appearance of a professionally hosted site.

META TAG ANALYSING
When designing a website, it must have the right ingredients for search engines to properly catalogue your site. The ingredients are called meta tags which form part of your html code. They lay in the head of the code, and have things such as the name of the site, description, and keywords used in search engines. URL Media & Marketing offer a FREE meta tag analysis of your existing website.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION
In today's volatile consumer market a well optimised website is an absolute necessity as it offers the highest return on investment, compared to any other marketing strategies. The Internet offers businesses of any size the opportunity to compete against established companies on a level, online platform.

When you've finished building a web site, you can't expect that traffic will automatically arrive, and you will see results! You wont...

Your website needs to have the right meta tags and be maintained with regular submissions to search engines, like Google, Yahoo & Hotbot. Once that is done, the search engines send out web-bots to "spider" your site, or what's called indexing. 

If you don't have the right meta tags or proper keywords and description, the search engine spiders will overlook your site, or give you a poor ranking on the results page. You don't want to be on page 8,058,044,651, if you rely on the search engines finding you, or worse still: not even ranking at all. The aim is to be on the first results page and it can happen with good meta tags and regular search engine submissions.

SEARCH ENGINE SUBMISSION SERVICE
In order to receive good search engine results, you must submit your website to all the major search engines, on a regular basis. 

When URL Media & Marketing submits your website (every 2 weeks) to the major search engines, they will ˇ°spiderˇ± your site and index the text on your website. This generally happens within 6 ¨C 8 weeks, and slowly you should start to see results after 12 months of submissions. There is no guarantee of success, as this is a slow and timely process, which has to be done for all websites (particularly newly created) that rely on new customers through the Internet.

All URL Media & Marketing clients who have their website regularly maintained by us on a weekly basis, have the Search Engine Submission service included for FREE. See our Website Maintenance section for more information.
