    Do you have a website and have you done any other advertising on the Internet, please?

    Showme_urmove

    We just started 2 months ago, but we are thinking about putting a website in a month. No we haven't done advertising on the internet. How much does that cost? Does it cost a lot? Do you think YMCA order shirts?
  • Mar 25, 2010, 12:43 AM
    Clough
    I don't know about YMCA. I do know, that it doesn't have to cost you anything for a website or to do advertising on the Internet and that you can be coming up in the first page on a Google search for what you do, where you do it though.

    It's not hard to do that, but it will take you some time and effort that will be well worth it!

    My partner and I just got a storage space enough room for all the equipments that's needed. Is there any way where you can show me to advertise on the internet, again I'm new at this so I don't know what website to go for advertising. That would be really helpful to get our name in front of the Google search. Thank you for giving your time for helping me!

    Let's think of words to use in an ad then.

    Please open up another browser or tab to hoobly.com

    Please also let me know on this thread when you've done that.

    Thanks!

  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:17 AM
    Clough
    Okay, some words that I can think of would be:
    Screen Printing California, Screen Printers California, T-Shirt Printing in California, Business Card Printers in California, Businesses Printers Printing Business Brochures in California...

    Need more specific locations and words concerning what you produce, please?

    Please give to me the names of towns and cities and as many words that you can think of concerning what you do.

    Plurals, singulars, nd's, er's, ings, etc. All are important with the Internet advertising if you want to get noticed.

    I'll show you how to format the ads once we've got the keywords down, at least a majority of them.

    Thanks!
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:24 AM
    Showme_urmove

    Sir what do you mean about "nd's, er's, ings,"
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:28 AM
    Clough
    Different search engines will search for things in different ways. For Instance, Google doesn't like repeated words. Yahoo, on the other hand, loves repeated words.

    Google also searches for things alphabetically. I'm not sure about that concerning the other search engines.

    Therefore, it's important to have keywords like the following in your ads.

    Printing, printers, printed, etc. as well as other words done in similar fashions.

    Do you understand where I'm going with this, please?
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:29 AM

  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:47 AM
    Showme_urmove

    Clough
    Okay, let's do an ad.

    Do you have hoobly.com opened up?
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:52 AM
    Showme_urmove

    Yea I just signed up!
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:53 AM
    Showme_urmove

    Yea I have it opened up
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:56 AM
    Clough
    What is the name of your business, please?
  • Mar 27, 2010, 12:57 AM
    Showme_urmove

    My partner and I liked what you put, it was
    "absolute screen printing & more" or "ASP&MORE"
  • Mar 27, 2010, 01:10 AM
    Clough
    Please keep the Absolute thing and drop the acronym. Nobody is going to go looking for an acronym. People will be wanting to know what you do, where you do it.

    Please give me a few minutes. I'll format an ad for you.

    I'm fading fast here, though...

    It's very late for me.

    Another thing that I would like you to be very careful with, is your spelling and punctuation. Doing those correctly does make a differece when people look at advertising of any kind. Words capitalized that need to be so, commas and other punctuation marks used correctly, etc.
