Abstract

This paper aims at being informed on how farms should invest resources to advertise their homepages on the internet. The number of visitors to homepage was used for analyzing the effect of advertising homepages of farmers conducting e-business. The results of analysis are as follows; (1) The daily number of visitors that has viewed homepages was 55 on average, (2) 48% of visitors came to farm homepages via search engine, which was the highest rate among accessible routes to homepage. Therefore, it was suggested that farmers should register their homepages on major search engines such as yahoo.co.kr, naver.com and daum.net in order to promote the effect of advertising homepage. We recommend that farmers should enlist the name of agricultural products on the first page of search engine view because people tend to use key word(92%) rather than homepage name(8%) when they would like to search wanted products on the internet.
