I don`t see ... much of anything really.

If you landed on your site and didn`t know what it was, would you have ANY IDEA why you were there?

No, but I would take the time to read the FAQ. But again, this is still in its` infancy and when I originally placed it in the Marketing section, it was to get a feel on how it would appeal to potential advertisers.

The point is .... 7 advertisements that make up a site is no reason for anyone to go to that site .... I can go to almost any other website and find advertisements without looking for them .... but I`m on those sites because they have content that I am interested in, i.e., I am there for a reason, and it isn`t to primarily see advertisements, it is because of some type of content that I want .... so why would I, or any other net surfer, be interested in a site that has 7 ads on it, and no content that interests me? What is the reason I would go to it to start with?

I personally don`t see the practicality of it. Why not just implement targeted ads into your existing site?

I am not sure why you all are missing what I am saying, but I have stated what we intend to add content and the site is still in its` infancy. I answered your previous post question by question.

The reason I do not want to clutter the main page is we feel it would not be fair to our customers. The links across the top for navigation, we feel blend well and should allow for ease of use. It is not our intention to become millionaires with this site, just to help sustain cash flow during a planed expansion. It costs us next to nothing for the site, as it is running on our own servers that host other sites, so if this falls through the cracks, we will move into other ideas we came up with.


As to your second question,
We do not want to clutter our site with advertising. In addition, we are an I.T. services company that only services local customers; currently has no intention nor the financial means of expanding out of our state. It is our opinion that we need to control our own backyard first, before we look to take on anyone else`s. Out of state contractors contact us via the online yellow pages.

It might help everyone if you put up some example articles/content so that we could get an idea of what vision you have for the site. It is very hard for us to imagine what is in your head.

From what I can see in the this thread, all of the most supportive, informative, and knowledgable reviews have given you feedback. If they don`t understand your site, then the average website user certainly won`t understand it.

If you are going to ask for free advise, you need to check your pride at the door and reflect on the advise and gracefully accept it. You don`t have to agree with it, but you should appreciate the fact that people took their own time to help you.

The only person I was rude with was the one that was the smart aleck. I very much appreciated all the other replies and it has helped me. Stonesledge, I am sorry if you took offense to what I said, I did not mean for it to come off as such. I was hoping you might stop back by, I got side tracked by the smart aleck that posted after you. The only I time I felt attacked was when I was and after reading a few of his posts in other topics, he seems to just be that way.

To topthought, I am not sure what you mean, I have been appreciative and have answered the questions directed at me and have not been rude. The only time I said anything that could be construed as such, was after the asked and answered questions came back a couple of times. If my replies were read, the answers where already there. As to your question about content, as I have stated, it will be financial advice. I cannot provide a sample, as that is not my expertise and I intend of relying on some "experts" that I already personally know that run those types of business. We are still trying to hammer out all of the details with them on an individual basis.
