If people visited your website, would they visit your church?

Just found this interesting stat from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project. They found that commercial use of the Internet continues to grow…

“with 58% of Americans now reporting that they perform online research concerning the products and services that they are considering purchasing.”

I suspect that if most Americans perform online research before purchasing a product or service, they very likely also perform online research before deciding to visit a church.

That, of course, begs the question: If people visited your website, would they visit your church?

Five years ago, I wrote about 10 easy ways to keep me from visiting your church because I visited your website. If you were coaching churches today, what would the new list look like?

    You make a great point.

    That’s one reason I LOVE being a web designer for churches/organizations, because I be apart of something bigger then my own business. It’s great to know that because you’ve helped churches have a much better and useful presence on the web, lives are be changed every week!

    In keeping with your ’5 years ago’ link.
    - Your web site was created 5 years ago, looks like it, and/or has information that is that old.
    - Has links that I can’t figure out what they mean.
