Brisbane, Queensland (PRWEB) January 17, 2008 -- clickfind? was launched late 2007 and besides it being a good search engine (http://www.clickfind.com.au) and business directory (http://www.clickfind.com.au/browse.cfm), it also incorporates "State of the Art" Search Engine Optimisation (S.E.O.) functionality and technology.
Here are some of the features that set this search engine apart both in Australia and overseas:
? With the push of a button a user can have their business listing uploaded to Google Maps (http://www.google.com/local/add/lookup?hl=en-AU&gl=AU)
? Google Ads will automatically be published with the client's business name as a keyword phrase as a part of their monthly fee
? All products and services on clickfind (owned by the user) are allowed to be exported to RSS, which allows them to syndicate their products easily
? Professional copywriters (http://www.clickfind.com.au/developers-directory/copywriters.cfm) may be hired at a small investment to help clients write their listings, making sure they get quality listings, but at the same time have a listing that works with SEO
? Anchor text is allowed on their listing description and is encouraged, as it has long been recognized a strong factor in ranking well with search engines
? Members can publish their listing directly from clickfind to Google base (once Google Base is available in Australia)
? As well as listing business info, members can list up to 500 products and services, which dramatically increases SEO (https://www.clickfind.com.au/add-your-business.cfm) performance
A powerful business directory
clickfind? business listings are far more useful than those in other directories and search engines. As well as essential info like business name, description and contact details, clickfind? listings can include full details of products and services. We're not just talking about a simple list -- a business can add a separate page with description for up to 500 products or services.
This approach is extremely useful for customers, but it also has great value for business owners. Adding product and service information dramatically increases the chance of a business being found when a customer is looking for a relevant product or service, either on clickfind? or elsewhere. It also means a business can treat their clickfind? listing as a self-contained website, or use it to drive traffic to their existing website.
Useful and fair search results
The search engine has been carefully developed to ensure results match what people search for. When a user searches for "apples" we'll make sure they find apples and not lemons, unlike some of the other search engines. Results are also targeted geographically, so people can find businesses near them.
We do not sell advertising spots or sponsored listings. The order of business listings is based on relevancy. This means we keep things fair for businesses and produce meaningful results for people searching for products or services. Whether a business was listed a year ago or today, it doesn't matter -- geographic location and keyword relevancy is all that counts.
Genuine Australian Search Engine
Unlike many other search engines (http://www.clickfind.com.au/search-engines.cfm) or directories, clickfind? lists only genuine Australian businesses. Every business listing on clickfind? must provide an ABN number, which allows us to check certain details with the Australian Business Registry. When a customer deals with a business on clickfind?, they can be assured they are dealing with a registered Australian business.
Simple is best
We do not clutter our website with advertising. All pages are kept to a bare minimum, with only the required content and functionality. We intend to keep it that way too.
Searching is simple -- users just specify what they want and where they are. If they register as a user, clickfind? will make searching even easier, by remembering their postcode and allowing them to save shortlists. If they register as a business, they will see we've made the sign-up process as straightforward as possible. For more about how clickfind? works, please see the help section on the clickfind? website.
We also make sure we adhere to web standards and provide accessibility for everyone where possible. If you have any suggestions on how to improve our accessibility please don't hesitate to contact us.
Other exciting features and extras
clickfind? also offers all clients the ability to view their Google PageRank, Alexa ranking and at the same time check whether their homepage is valid HTML according to W3C. Another plus is that every subscription allows users to create their own free email account which comes with a whopping 6GB of disk space, web and mobile access and other features ...
Access to specialised services
The clickfind? Developers Directory (http://www.clickfind.com.au/developers-directory.cfm) is a list of SEO companies, copywriters and editors who can provide valuable services to clickfind clients. The top 50 Australian SEO company list will be limited to the top 50 SEO (http://www.clickfind.com.au/developers-directory/seo-companies.cfm) companies of Australia, making it a valuable resource for any clickfind client who wants to get even more search engine traffic.

A Brief History of the Continent of Australia
There are many individuals who think that the continent of Australia was largely unsettled before its "discovery" by European colonists. Contrary to this belief, the Australian continent was populated by the Aborigines peoples as well as Torres Straight Islanders before these explorers arrived. The Australian continent was made up of many different cultures and languages, and still is. The peoples of Australia had different religions, but shared a common and profound connection with the land on which they lived. They also shared a complex social structure. The Aborigines peoples and the Torres Straight Islanders had minimal outside contact with the rest of the world, but largely flourished in their isolated land.
