What is CounselingSeattle.com?
[Message to advertisers as of August 2005]
Over the past five years, CounselingSeattle.com has grown from
Floyd Else’s simple, large-font hobby site into a powerful, highly-ranked site that
comes up first whenever you search for a counselor or therapist in
cities throughout the Puget Sound area (Greater Seattle, King County,
Pierce County, Snohomish County, Island County and Kitsap County.)
Over 1,610 websites around the world, link to CounselingSeattle.com. [2,970
as of 3/29/06].
The first to link to CounselingSeattle.com was from the University
of Barcelona in Spain. This was followed by MEL—the University of
Michigan Electronic Library—and then the University of Kent in
Canterbury in the United Kingdom.
Depending on the time of year, CounselingSeattle.com has 22,000 to
25,500 unique visitors each month. 201 different key word phrases
punched into search engines bring visitors directly into different
pages of the CounselingSeattle.com site. [If you haven't done so
already, I invite you to go to the home page of
CounselingSeattle.com and just spend some time clicking around to discover
all the varied material that is available on this site.]
Not all the visitors are looking for counselors, but of those who
are, many are directed by search engines into specific counselor
pages (a few examples: 159 visitors enter directly to the Capitol Hill
page by search engine, 229 into the Bellevue page, 110 to the
Downtown Seattle page, 88 to the Wallingford area page, and 156 to
the Tacoma page).
About 1215 unique
visitors a month navigate using the
counselor locator page. 312 visitors will search using
counselor names, 553 will navigate by geographic locations, and
649 will navigate by Niche Specialties©. (The numbers above don’t
total correctly because some visitors navigate using more than one route.)
To find statistics for specific cities
and neighborhoods, you can search Google for “Site Statistics for CounselingSeattle.com.”
CounselingSeattle.com links to many counselor websites from the
counselors’ individual listings on CounselingSeattle.com. (If we don’t already link to your website, please let us
know and we will help you set it up.)
CounselingSeattle has over 200 pages (or URLs). There are 9,470
hyperlinks in the site. Of these 6,726 are internal links (within
the site) and 2,474 are external links to other sites. A software
program scans all the links each week and any broken links are
repaired weekly. (We do not want visitors to be clicking on dead
links.)
Each week CounselingSeattle.com ads new materials as it continues
to grow and improve to better serve the public and the counselors
who enrich its pages.
May we all grow and prosper in the coming year.
