Get more visitors to your website in 90 minutes

'If you build it, they will come' may have worked for Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams, but it doesn't necessarily work for the Internet. Companies spend thousands on web design only for their site to rot in cyberspace with few visitors ever finding it. This book addresses many of the common mistakes that people make when trying to promote their online presence.

While it predominantly focuses on search engine optimisation, there are also many tricks you can use on your site to make it easier to use. Enriching the amount of information available, the user experience and the accessibility for those with disabilities all play a part in making your place on the Internet an altogether more pleasant place to be.


A web site should be the first place your customers want to look for information, not the last. In 90 minutes and with the help of this book you will have a much better understanding of the changes you will need to make to your site to make it easier to find and use.
