Thanks!

If you're going to compete with the cleaning and maid services that operate in the larger vicinities, you're going to need to use similar words to what they use as well as variations on them in addition to keywords that you create that are unique.

It's easier to be on the first page if you operate in a smaller vicinity, because there are less choices for the search engines to find.

Thanks!

If they really want to know about you, they can contact you and/or go to your website. Your old ad is great for your website and also some other sites that I'll mention shortly...

Here's a few links to searches for where I'm competing with the entire community area in which I live for Christmas exposure.

Link One

Link Two

There's lots of competition, but I still make it to the first page in the searches.

OK I have the idea, of course I will need a bit of time to do it but before I start I would like to ask you a couple things if you don't mind.

Should I use one location per one ad or I can use multiple locations in the same ad?

How long is the ad has to be? Any limits from the advertising sites or no?

Thanks !

I do have another ad that is not complete ( still working on) , just wonder if I could somehow show to you . To see what you think.
Thanks !

Yes I can see what you mean, I just have to spend more time and study the topic before I come up with my ad. Plus my English is not so great like yours but I will do my best.

Thanks for all your tips.

You can use multiple locations in any ad that you post. If you do a simple one like I wrote, with a few additional things from you, based upon the same ideas that I posted, you will get excellent exposure.

Some advertising sites have limits to the length of an ad concerning the number of words or characters.

With a very few sites, you'll need to really abbreviate things to get your point across.

If you put it into an Excel spreadsheet and attach it to a post, people will only be able to find and see it by clicking on it. There are limits to the sizes of attachments here.

Also, it's obvious that you want to be really thorough in your ads. That's commendable but not all that necessary in order to just get the word out there about what you do, where you do it.

If you would still post a simple ad on hoobly.com tonight, to see about the exposure that it gets, you can always change it later.

Thanks!

Thanks again, so can you give me like a day or two to get my ad done and I come back to you for you opinion/approval?

Is getting late and I don't want to take yours whole night.

Attach to post by using "insert image"?

Thanks !

Click on "Go Advanced" and you'll see a little paper clip on which to click.

OK I see it now , I will have to download the Excel program on my computer ( since I just replaced my HD) and I will be ready to do so. Can we set up time for another day to continue this project? What would work best for you?

Thanks !

I'm usually around after 11:00 P.M. your time. But, tomorrow night, I need to get to bed fairly early so I can get up to play for church. I'm sure that I can be on for awhile, though.

I just now posted a new hoobly.com ad. I'm hoping that it will start showing up in the first page of a Google search within minutes. If you can wait just a few more minutes, it should start showing up... At least I hope that it does!

Thanks!

Thanks , I will be on tomorrow as well then. I can wait a few minutes np, what is the title of the new ad?

I'll provide the link to the search, once it shows up. At least I hope that it shows up! I forgot that I already placed a similar ad on that site. If they don't catch it, it should show up.

The similar ad is on the bottom of the first page of the search.

Link

Thanks!

Here is the link. It appeared at the top of the search on the first page only one minute ago!

Very Very impressive , simple and effective.

Thanks again and I will be back tomorrow around 11 PM.

Hmmm, very cool.

Thanks !

Yes, hoobly.com is what I would consider to be the way to start. Almost immediate results. There is the possibility that you could get the same results.

I've been doing this Internet advertising thing for, I think about four years now. I've explored many, many sites on which to advertise. Many get excellent exposure in searches, whereas some simply do not. For some of the sites, you have to actually go to the site to find anything.

I do wish you a very pleasant and peaceful sleep, and I'll be back on here tomorrow night.

I'm looking forward to it! :)

Thanks!

Hi Clough,

I am back already and be waiting for you.

Thanks!

I'm here right now.

What is your first name, please?

Mine is Craig.

Thanks!

Welcome back,
Nice to meet you Craig , my name is John.

Well hello craig my name is Chuck and I have a internet addition.

We have to talk about this posting thing for my web site if I can really get it up on searches better

I'm sure that you already knew that my first name is Craig, Chuck! LOL!

I can help you with the Internet thing and would be glad to do so, but it would be better for you to start a separate thread about that. Did you notice that I was first on the first page in a Google search within minutes last night? As a matter of fact, the listing appeared to happen within one minute, even though I had posted it about ten minutes earlier. I'm not sure if Google or Hoobly keeps track of the minutes on the searches.

Thanks!

John, are you ready to post the Hoobly ad or show me what you want to post, please?

Thanks!

Actually I forget peoples real names on here,

Craig,

I already posted my ad on Hoobly while waiting for you, I hope you don't mind.

I can understand that. I do the same thing...

Once I do find out someone's real name, I copy and paste it into a draft email to keep track of who people are.

Some of us have been around on this site awhile, and when someone is in a particular need on a thread where I know certain people will be the best ones to help, I like to call on them and be able to address them by their first name.

Thanks !

That's okay, but did you use the title that I suggested and also a bunch of keywords and phrases like we had discussed?

Also, did you do a search for your ad?

Thanks!

Yes,
Here is the title " Cleaning Services In West Hartford Connecticut", I put many many of keywords and did do the search .Nothing yet on Google . My ad is next to yours on hoobly .

I would say my ad need your personal touch, l.o.l
Thanks !

Hey, John!

I'm sorry about the slow response here! My browser keeps shutting down and thus knocking me off the site. I think that it has something to do with the Shockwave Flash concerning the ads on the site.

So, I'm trying on of the different "skins" now. Seems to be working...

Did you install Microsoft Excel on your computer?

Thanks!

Yes I have ME on my computer no problem, did you get my email?

Yes, and I responded. But, let's keep things on the thread to be in compliance with the rules of the site. Email or PM was the only way to communicate at the time though because I couldn't communicate using the skin that I was using.

I'm looking for your ad on hoobly.com. If you could attach a document with your ad in it using Microsoft Excel, that would also be helpful to me and to others.

Thanks!

Craig , here is the copy of my ad, please let me know if you can open the doc.
JOhn

Craig ,
I am sorry but it don't let my upload the file , it cost an error.
To be honest I never did send text file in ME format.

John

I found your ad. I've copied it and am reviewing it.

Your ad is very long and might be too large to upload to this site as an attachment.

I'll submit a sample attachment to see if you can open it and read it.

Thanks!

OK ,
Lets try it.
