| Comment | I can't comment on the German Webpräsenz, but I can tell you that the English expression "web presence" means something different than the definitions I've seen so far for Webpräsenz.
A person, company or other entity has a "web presence" if they are present anywhere on the web, regardless of whether on their own website, or someone else's. For example, if I was on my college crew team decades ago and my college posted all the members of that crew team on its web site, then I would have a "web presence". A pretty minimal one, if that's all it was, but still, a presence. Members of communities like tribe.net, myspace.com, friendster and so on all have a definite "web presence".
Also, it's not necessary to be "findable" in a search engine to have a web presence--it's possible that the site wasn't crawled, or is in a proprietary database, or behind a password-protected login--all of these would mean that you couldn't be found by a search engine, but you have a "web presence" nonetheless.
If I have a website, on the other hand, it means either a site registered to me, or one for which I am a principal content contributor. The homepage is the principal point of entry to a website made up of more than one page. |
