Internet Statistics
















A few interesting web statistics:

  • 70% of the U.S. population regularly use the Internet
  • Over 1 billion people in the world are online
  • The average adult spends 3 hours more a day online than watching T.V.
These are all encouraging statistics for small business owners. It means you have a very large target market, and as long as you have a website, you have a better chance of being found online than in a phonebook, flier, or other advertisement.

But...
  • There are over 400 million active websites &
  • The average person only gives a website 10 seconds before deciding whether the site is worth their time.
Which means, you've got ten seconds (or less) to:

1) attract the viewer
2) declare your message &
3) get them to take action
