Promotion
- Once your site is created, it is essential to advertise and promote it. We submit your site's address (URL) to the
major online internet search engines and directories. In addition, you will need to place your URL on company brochures,
letterheads and business cards.
Ninety-five percent of the traffic on the Internet use only the top 10 engines. All the others account for only a tiny fraction. The internet is like many businesses - all that matters is location, location and location!

through the use of electronic mail, or feedback forms. We set up your email accounts for you, so that your customers
can reach you at your_name@your_company.com.

Domain Names

or www.acame.com. We can assist you in securing the domain name you choose.

Advantages
- One of the major advantages of having an Internet site is that it's more cost effective than traditional means of advertising. It reaches more people for your advertising dollar. Created almost 30 years ago as a resource for the United States government, military organizations, and university systems, the internet has grown into the second largest network on the planet, surpassed only by the global telephone network! Sources estimate that the fastest growing part of the internet, the World Wide Web, is doubling every two months.
According to survey results announced in February 1998, by IntelliQuest Information Group Inc. of Austin Texas:
- About 62 million adults, or 30 percent of the U.S. population ages 16 and older, use the Internet.
- That's and increase of 32 percent from 46.8 million users a year earlier.
- Another 7 million adults planned to go online within the next six months. If that happens, the number of wired U.S. residents could approach 70 million by mid-year, double the number just two years ago,
