Q: How does a user find me?
A: This is a three part answer:
- Use Submit It! to get your name in the search engines.
- Invest into Advertising Banners; These banners are stragitically placed on the internet so that when a user crosses paths with an ad, he/she will be provoked (by the ad copy) into clicking on the banner, which in turn will take the user to your site! ILV has them ALL over the place. (see http://www.yahoo.com and type las vegas as the search) and AOL. ILV also has ad space available on the ILV site.
- One of the most important places people need to advertise their name, never get touched. Lets say you are a business and you have something to sell. If you advertise in the paper or in a magazine, but, you do not put in your phone number. How many people do you think will spend the time to TRY to find your number and ask about your product?
