Part 4 of 4. Once your domain name is chosen and your Web hosting is set up, several Webpages are built and linked together to make up your entire Website. Finally, your site is linked to your domain name so that visitors can type this domain name in a browser and view your Webpages.

Using a Web browser, a visitor views your Webpages. These pages contain text, images, and other multimedia. And the visitor navigates between them using hyperlinks. A client program called a “user agent” retrieves information resources, such as Webpages and other computer files, from Web servers using their URLs.

Most of the time, the user agent is a Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, Opera, Netscape, or the program that you used to check out this Webpage. The user agent retrieves content from remote Web servers where the Website is stored and displays it on the visitor’s computer. The visitor can then click on hyperlinks on each Webpage to other Webpages or World Wide Web resources, whose location (including their domain name) is included in the hyperlinks. This is called “browsing” or “surfing” the Web.

With such a vast wealth of information from which to choose, finding a specific site can be a challenge. You can of course type a domain name into the address bar, but this helps little if you aren’t sure which domain to type. You may also wish to find websites on a specific topic rather than navigating to them individually by name.

Well, just as you probably found this Webpage or our Website in the first place, you can use a search engine or directory. The top three are: Google, Yahoo! and Bing (formerly MSN Live). Because these search engines are preferred by Web surfers, every webmaster wants to get included in their search engine results pages (SERPs). These search engines create an invaluable source of free traffic and this converts to profit if you sell goods or services online.

Additionally, you should consider how you can use email to market your Website and business. Email is “a store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems. Email predates the Internet [and was] a crucial tool in creating the Internet.”

Email is an attractive tool for website marketing because it costs nothing to send. Plus, an auto-responder system only costs a few dollars per month and makes building lists of current or potential clients a snap. With such a list, you can automatically mail special offers and newsletters, maintaining customer mindshare throughout their busy lives.

And maintaining customer mindshare is crucial to your business’s success. Our free weekly newsletter (please sign up if you haven’t already) is sent out to many current and potential clients, each of whom are likely to either recommend us to anyone seeking a web design or SEM company, or to forward it on to anyone interested in same. While 40% of our traffic originates from the three major search engines listed previously, the vast majority comes from links and recommendations generated by others, often due to the regular newsletter’s role in maintaining mindshare. Be sure to check out Parts 1-3.
