agree Ian M-H: yes - although to reduce repetitions in longer texts, or if a client insists their website is "not just a website", I sometimes use "web presence" as well // I need compassion and understanding for my lax morals, Ian, not harsh criticism

agree Robin Salmon: Yes, that is the best translation here but "Internet presence" is used by web hosts to excite you into registering your website with them: "See the difference your own Internet presence makes to your business!"

neutral Steven Sidore: Website is correct, but am I mistaken in thinking that the "Auftritt" includes non-website items, like ad banners, virtual promotions and such?
