The Internet is not showing any signs of slowing. Growth of the usage of search engines is unprecedented and more and more smart business owners are capitalizing on the increased business it can bring through their door. Australian Internet usage figures parallel those recorded throughout the world. The number of people getting online and using the Internet regularly is still growing at a steady rate. Another interesting fact, is that the amount of time spent online is very steadily increasing. Nielsen Net ranking figures show that Australians are no different to the rest of the world. Each month we spend just a few minutes more online and visit an extra one or two websites than we had the previous month.
