Why get listed in the Seek Regional Website Portal Network?

What are the Seek Regional Online Website Portals All About?

The Seek portals are a one-stop site for links to websites to do with the UK, split into separate regional websites. With hundreds of sites listed in hundreds of categories relating to the UK, there's bound to be a link of interest to most people visiting.

So why should I get my site listed?

After all there are plenty of search engines out there already. Well yes you're right of course. Search engines such as Google and AltaVista will list myriads of websites if you put in suitable search terms but the results returned are not necessarily always what you'd expect and often nothing to do with the search term.

Advantages of using the Seek network include:

All entries are examined by a human processor before being added to the directory so visitors know they'll be relevant to their search.
Visitors can search what they're looking for in the secure knowledge that they won't inadvertantly come across a socially unacceptable website.
Navigation is simple, the main index being accessable from any page and almost all the external links are then no more than two clicks away.
The entire site is currently being redesigned for even better navigation and a larger, more comprehensive category index.
A site search box provides an easy method of finding any subject on the site. Coupled with the very large index, visitors should have no problem finding what they want in seconds.
The Seek portals receive visitors from all over the world and are listed in all of the top search engines in the UK and many abroad, often with excellent positions, indeed sometimes appearing in top place, frequently in the top ten, depending on the terms used.

But what's actually in it for me?

Increasing visitor numbers means a listing in a regional Seek Site could well help your site's own viewing figures. Seek Southwest now receives almost three quarters of a million page hits per year. Our target for all the sites is a total of over ten million per year by 2010.
People use the Seek sites because they want information on a particular region of the UK. If your site's listed, yours could be the one they turn to.
Many subjects have direct links to the same subject on alternative Seek Sites. For example, someone looking for a holiday cottage in Wales can, with just one click, look for a holiday cottage in Scotland.
The Seek sites are optimised for quick downloading. Visitors, potentially your customers, are more likely to stay and visit more pages on a well optimised site.
Translation of the site into five different languages is straightforward and offers our visitors from around the world, potentially your visitors, an enhanced and more enjoyable visit.
If the category or sub-category you want to use doesn't exist, ask Us to add it. All suggestions are considered.
