Some important facts for Australian business owners.

Domain Names.

Purchasing a .com.au requires an ABN. A standard price for a .com.au is about $100AUD

Try to buy a domain that has your main product/keywords in it. For example abc.com.au tells us nothing, but kidsclothes.com.au tells us what you are about.

And the search engines will love you for this!

Remmeber, with domain names, small is beautiful - you are going to have to spell it to lots of people everyday, so be consise.

2. Good Meta. A Title tag,

description tag with keywords, relevant keywords, and these keywords actually in your pages will make a difference.

3. Linking. Link to good, popular sites. The search engines will think your website is worth listing if other websites link to it - relevancy by popularity.

4. DONT waste money on any "get you on google page 1" claims - simply a waste of money.

With a little bit of hard work each month you can maximise your chances of getting listed well in the Search engines.

Ask your web designer these important questions, dont just accept them at face value.
