AcuHut: Free Search Engine Optimization Link

A new website, AcuHut.com, is offering free listings for acupuncture practitioners. Along with your photo and practice description, AcuHut lets you enter your website URL to get a free link to your website, which is helpful when you’re doing search engine optimization on your acupuncture website.

Links to your website from other websites are known as “inbound links”. These inbound links are especially helpful when they come from websites with content that is related to the content of your website. So for an acupuncture practitioner a link from AcuHut.com should be a bit better than a link from a general business directory.

Each acupuncture practitioner listing is manually checked by the AcuHut.com staff, so be sure to follow AcuHut’s guidelines for a speedy listing!

Don't Waste Your Word of Mouth

Acupuncture Websites & Word of Mouth

Acupuncture websites and word of mouth marketing for acupuncturists

Practitioners often think that the primary benefit of an acupuncture practice website will come from random search engine traffic. Not so. The best reason to have an acupuncture website is to reap the full benefit of your word of mouth.

We all know that word of mouth is the core of marketing an acupuncture practice. But how does word of mouth really work? Do patients go around handing out your business cards? Well yes, sometimes (especially if you encourage them to do so!). But other times they simply mention you. If you can be found in Google these little mentions can turn into real patients. And with a properly optimized website, you will come up in a search for your name or your name plus a keyword like acupuncture.

So stop hiding from your potential patients and get your acupuncture website online today!

Which Search Engines Matter?

Google, Google and, um, Google

Google is by far the most popular search engine in the U.S. Almost 70% of all internet searchers in the U.S. are going to see Google’s results (even though they might not be using Google directly). So Google should be your primary focus when optimizing your acupuncture website.

Other search engines that people use are Yahoo! and Microsoft’s oft renamed search engine, currently known as Bing. A handful of people also use Ask.com, mainly in the South West U.S. And that’s it.

UPDATE: Yahoo now licenses its search results from Bing. That means that Yahoo results will be identical to Bing results.
