Despite two thirds of those surveyed having had a business website for 2 years or more, only 1 in 10 firms made updates on a daily basis.
That is a pretty sad statistics for the small business Web workers and signifies that many companies continue to struggle in maintaining their web presence. Some other alarming results from the survey:
- 1 in 4 companies admit to updating their websites on a monthly basis,
- over half (54 per cent) admitted to making technical tweaks only 'infrequently,'
- one third of companies surveyed use only a single domain name, and three quarters own less than 6 domains
- nearly half of firms (48 per cent) are not currently advertising on search engines
- 1 in 3 (34 per cent) are unable to quantify the popularity of their website as they do not look at their visitor numbers
