    If you can stay up just 15 more minutes Stringer, that would be cool, because we're getting ready to post the ad on hoobly.com If everything works according to plan, the results should be amazing.

    If you can't wait, I do understand.

    Thanks!

    I meant for you to put the name of the county before the word county at the end of the search words. Part of the way that Google searches for things is alphabetically. The results should be about the same though.

    Let's get ready to post the ad. This ad is going to be a test. You can always change it later. If all goes according to plan, your ad will hopefully be at the top, or near the top of the search pages in Google within 15 minutes.

    I'm now going to post the revised ad. It will take me just a minute to make sure that everything's just right from my end. Please have at least a couple of other browsers open. Please login to hoobly.com and let me know when you've done that.

    Thanks!

    Okay, I think I understand what you are saying... so it should be "Aliquippa, PA Computer Repair Beaver County"

    Here is your revised ad. I listed most of the words that you had provided. You came up with a lot of words! If a person uses too many keywords that are visible in an ad, it can make things look sloppy and unprofessional to some people. You can use as many words as you want to in the hidden parts of your website that you know will get picked up by the search engines.

    Usually people aren't going to be looking for a business by the Zip Code or Area Code. Most of my ads don't have that, but some of them do. For you, just starting with extensive advertising on the Internet, I thought that we could give it a try and see how it works.

    I've put fictitious words and locations in your ad and I've already done a "spill chick" LOL :) for the ad, but you'll be wanting to double-check things anyway after you've done the deletions and names of places substitutions.

    Please let me know here the time that you posted the ad. If you have any difficulties on hoobly.com, please let me know. If there's too many capital letters in an ad, then hoobly.com will sometimes automatically make everything lower-case.

    Just to clarify, I put the keywords, area codes and zip codes in the "description" category for placing the ad, correct?
  • Jan 27, 2009, 02:09 AM
    Clough

    You put them in the body of the ad at the bottom of the ad. I'm not on hoobly.com right now, but if I remember correctly, the description is the title of the ad.

    I'll login to hoobly.com now.

    Thanks!

    Yeah I know, it's very late for you and also for me. Don't delete the ad, but you might want to change the order to the words for the title. The first ad that you see on the link that I sent to you started appearing in searches in less than fifteen minutes. If you study how I title and word my ads, it should help you.

    It might make a difference if you're logged out of hoobly or not for when the ad will start to appear in searches.

    Thanks!

    Suggestion: Name what you do first in a title and then the location.

    Thanks!
