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 below and on the search engine results page, identifies that the technology driving the West Australian search engine is developed and operated by Google, who are the most successful search engine operators 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 first 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 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 site must be developed using standards compliant code as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Learn how to make your website search engine friendly at Google Webmaster Tools.

It is especially important that your website display the words Western Australia within your website (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 referring 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 which already display instances of the West Australian Search Engine include www.InternetWA.net, www.WestCoast.com.au, www.SearchWA.net and www.Holiday-WA.net.

An alternative option to linking to the search engine from your website is to open a Google Adwords account and arrange that Google promote your website within the right hand sponsored column of the search engine results page. Your website does not need to link to the search engine in order for your sponsored lnk to be displayed within the search engine. Google charge a fee only when your advertisement is clicked on and a visitor accesses your website.
