The West Australian Search Engine

Using the most advanced search technology available on the Internet, the West Australian Search Engine promotes West Australian websites and can help promote your website.

The Brand Logo displayed within the search boxes shown below and on the search engine results page, identifies that the technology driving the West Australian search engine is developed and operated by Google, the most successful search engine operator on the Internet.

The West Australian Search Engine is authorised by Google and managed locally within Western Australia using Google's unique technology. The search engine is linked to from some of the most visited and highly ranked websites in the state, with growing numbers of visitors accessing the search engine each week.

Place a simple text link onto your website similar to the example shown below. Then contact us with the details so that your website can be promoted at the search engine. No fees are involved.

You can link to the search engine from your website using any one of the following techniques.

Once your website is linked to the search engine and listed in the search engine database, your site will begin to acquire ranking within the search engine and will retain that ranking for as long as long as you continue to link to the search engine from your website. In addition to promoting your website within the West Australian search engine, your website will also be promoted to Google's major international search engines.

For your website to be successfully promoted within the West Australian search engine, your website must be correctly developed using standards compliant code as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). You can learn how to make your website more search engine friendly using Google Webmaster Tools.

It is especially important that your website display the words Western Australia (ideally on each page) to assist Google in correctly indexing and displayng your website within the search engine. The search engines will not recognise the abbreviation WA as being relevant to Western Australia.

Because of the ways in which websites are indexed by Google and added to the search engine, there may possibly be a delay of several days before your website begins to display within the West Australian search engine results.

Only genuine and credible West Australian websites are promoted within the search engine. Other websites will not be considered.

Websites that display instances of the West Australian Search Engine include www.InternetWA.net, www.WestCoast.com.au, www.SearchWA.net and www.Holiday-WA.net.

Alternatively, you are invited to open a Google Adwords account and arrange that Google promote your website within the right hand sponsored column on the search engine results page, with no requirement for your website to link to the search engine.
