The Webmaster's Reply
Quick answer:
Counselors, social workers, psychologists, therapists and
psychotherapists advertise on Counseling Washington:
1. because (according to Google.com/analytics,)
ONLY 7.5% of the Counseling Washington visitors are "direct traffic," that is people who type in one of
our URL page addresses for the site.
8.8% of our traffic is from one of the 3,073 "referring sites" that refer visitors to
Counseling Washington and
83.6% are referred by 29,002 different search engines (69.72% from Google.com).
2. because Counseling Washington draws searching clients from throughout the whole State of Washington, and
3. because advertising is so inexpensive (we are too classy to say "cheap.") and
4. because counselor advertisers find that most of the traffic
to their own websites is referred from their listings links on our pages, and
5. because "the search engines love us."
55,000 to 63,000 visitors enter the website each month using over
32,000 different search words and phrases.
Advertising on the internet is NOT like advertising in a newspaper with a limited area
of circulation. Most potential clients don't type in the name of a website when they are searching for information--they use a well-known
internet search engine such as
www.Google.com, www.Bing.com, or
www.Yahoo.com and type in their search phrase.
Counseling Washington
provides the best internet counselor locator service for all of Washington State. www.CounselingSeattle.com
is a great tool for potential clients who are looking for a
counselor or for therapist groups.]
Take a look at the site statistics for
Counseling Washington. Shouldn't potential clients be finding YOU on these pages? (If you don't find results for
your city, it's probably because you are the first--and most clever--of the local counselors to look into our services.
Sign up for services today and your city will promptly be added to the pages of Counseling
Washington.)
Also take a look at the
unsolicited testimonials counselor
advertisers have sent to Counseling Washington over the past
years. These are from real people who wanted to thank us
for our help.

On the
other hand, if you have read this page and
still can think of some reason why you should NOT advertise on
Counseling Washington,
please email me and tell me what you are thinking.
I offer a monthly prize to the person with either the: 1. most
thoughtful, 2. most original, OR 3. the most silly reason for not
advertising on Counseling Washington--depending on the range of
responses each month.
Best wishes,
In hopes of avoiding any future identity crises as
we grow and change: CounselingSeattle.com is
our current domain name. CounselingSeattle LLC is
our legal entity. Our registered trade name is
Counseling Washington. By the end
of 2012, we hope to have all our counselor related
listings on a new domain name,
CounselingWashington.com, with all kinds of new
"bells and whistles" for counselor listings.
