| When the Web first started attracting people,
it was easy to get people to come to your Web site because everyone visited every new
site. Of course it didn't generate much revenue because so few people were on the Web, and
the purpose was largely for information and entertainment. Now it seems as if the whole world is surfing the Web. Of course, the trick
is to get a few of those millions of Web surfers to come surf your Web site !
