Quick answer:
Counselors, social workers, psychologists, therapists and
psychotherapists advertise on CounselingSeattle.com:
1. because CounselingSeattle.com IS NOT a "Seattle" website:
According to Google.com/analytics,
7.5% of the
CounselingSeattle.com visitors are "direct traffic" that is people
who type in one of
our URL page addresses for the site.
8.8% of the
traffic is from one of the 3,073 "referring sites" that refer
visitors to
CounselingSeattle.com and
83.6% are referred by 29,002
search engines (69.72% from Google.com).
2. because
CounselingSeattle.com draws searching clients from
the whole State of Washington, and
3. because advertising is so
inexpensive (we are too classy to say "cheap.") and
4. because the search engines love us.
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
Google.com
and type in their search phrase. CounselingSeattle.com
provides
the best internet counselor locator service for all of Washington State.
[And great place for finding or advertising a private
counseling practice, therapy groups, counseling office
space for rent, and counselor Workshops.]
Take a look at the
site statistics for
CounselingSeattle.com. 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 CounselingSeattle.com.)

the Advertise all around Washington State page and click around to
read about advertising. Then log-in to CounselingSeattle.com to

select the type of ad you wish to place, fill in the necessary information and
set up monthly payments by credit card.
On the
other hand, if you have read this page and
still can think of some reason why you should NOT advertise on CounselingSeattle.com,
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 CounselingSeattle.com--depending on the range of
responses each month.
