Hello Members,

With online advertising, you're considering three main things: getting worthy "incoming links" to help your page rank, the best exposure value for your money, and of course "targeted" visitors.

Some of the best advertising I've paid for is the ones offering a "lifetime" listing. When you purchase a directory listing or some type business listing, don't expect that you're going to get tons of traffic or tons of sales. Consider that you want to get quality "leads". Link to a lead page such as a subscriber page for your mailing list and try to offer something F.R.E.E if possible. When visitors are browsing through several directory listings, that "Free" will be just a little more tempting to click on your link. You have just one chance to get their attention before they go on browsing other listings. Another thing that a "lifetime" listing gives you is unlimited exposure and of course a lifetime "incoming link" for you.

Established sites are the best option. I've taken a few chances on "new" sites because you can sometimes grab a lifetime listing at a cheaper price and then, if they grow later on, you still have your listing and will not have to pay bigger prices. Sometimes brand new sites fail and vanish, so limit your paid advertising on sites like these. When choosing, consider the quality of their content and their site's design. If it's plastered with tons of banners all over the homepage, then then visitors to their website won't stay long and you will not get any exposure.

I found out last night that Regina Baker has opened her directory at Christian Business Talk Radio for a "lifetime listing" for only $17 ( http://ultimatetools.net/t.cgi?LifetimeListingCBTR ). You get a 100 word description with a link to your business and you also get to include a 125X125 banner as well. She has a very good established site and a google page rank of 4.

Regina wants to get a minimum of 100 directory listings, and I'm determined to help her as well. I've already made my purchase this morning and submitted my listing.

*Here's a special just for you: If you buy a lifetime listing from Regina, I'll give you an additional f.r.e.e basic lifetime listing in our wahm business locator: http://wahm-announce.com/wahm-blog/business-locator/ (*Business locator is also promoted at http://wahm-announce.com/Forum) ==> or 1/2 off of our featured lifetime listing option. Note: I do get traffic from the search engines on a regular basis to my state pages.

*Once you've made your purchase from Christian Business Talk Radio and submitted your new listing, then email your listing as well to cr5white@msn.com and place which "state" you want listed in the "subject line". If you would like a Featured directory listing for 1/2 off then send $7.50 to wahm-announce (at) juno.com (A featured listing will allow you to include a button banner with your listing and be placed above all the f.r.e.e listings. This listing never expires).

Please don't delay on your directory listing. Christian Business Talk Radio's directory states: "Listings are on a first come, first serve basis".
