Why Marriage Counseling?
Is your marriage in trouble? If so, then you're in the right place.
The Family & Marriage Counseling Directory was designed specifically
to be the best resource on the web for people in need of marriage
counseling. When I created this site in 2003, there was a huge
"marriage counseling" gap on the internet. If someone did a search
for "marriage counseling," there were a few self-help type sites
that showed up, but where were the
marriage counselors and
therapists? Click Here
for our regional listings.
The Family & Marriage Counseling
Directory was made to fill that gap. In the beginning we listed
hundreds of therapists free of charge, just so people searching the
web for marriage counseling and other forms of therapy could find
therapists. The site was immediately successful, shooting to the top
of the search engines within a few months. After a while, therapists
started noticing and asked to be included. I'm proud to say that as
of April, 2007 we have well over 300 therapists who advertise their
counseling practices with our site, as well as many of the original
counselors who were included for free.
Why the Internet?
More and more people use the internet every day. The internet is
a safe and private place to look up information. According to
demographical statistics provided by the Pew Internet & American
Life Project, the more educated one is, and the more income one has,
all increase the likelihood that one uses the internet. This
population is also likely to seek marriage counseling. Hence, the
enormous amount of traffic our site receives.
Do the Marriage Counselors Listed
Here Get a Lot of Referrals?
Yes. Although the amount varies from state to state. The most
popular regions are the Northeast US, and the West Coast (mainly
California). The least trafficked places are states with low
population and the Southern states. Although they all do get
referrals. Here are what a few
of the advertisers have said:

First, I want to tell you how incredible your site is. I signed
up a few weeks ago and my practice has increased already. I seem
to be getting one or two calls each day from new clients that
have found me as a result of your site. Thank you so much.
Second: I was wondering how I could edit my listing. I would
like to make just a few changes.

Chris,
I am an Internet marketing professional working with several
marriage counseling clients all over the US. Your site
consistently delivers the highest volume and lowest cost
traffic. This traffic converts into quality leads for our
clients. I look at our log files every week and your site is a
top referrer to all of my client’s sites and the cost often
works out to less than 20 cents per click. This is about one
tenth the cost of Google Adwords. I would recommend your site to
anyone who wants good traffic at a low cost.

Why Marriage Counseling?
The testimonials above are exactly why we target marriage
counseling; it's one of the most popular phrases that people type in
search engines when they are looking for help with their
relationships. It's far from being all that our site shows up for
though. We rank high for many other popular search phrases that
people are using to look for help.
