1998 March: new web design and search engines strategy proven by success

We had been always search engine specialists. To improve a bad site by 1000 times more visitors proves nothing, but to improve a well designed site by 88% more visitors counts.

Total referers found in referer log files from all our own domains, and design and seminar customers hosted on our server. This only counts visitors coming from a link or a search engine. This does not count repeated visitors from bockmarks and visitors typing direct the URL (from newspaper or so)16339 2 visitors per pixel
