| The
Enhanced Listing has proven to be our Most Effective text ad. |
| Your Enhanced Listing puts you at the
Top of your Category, above all Premium Linked and Free Listings. This is a
"searchable" listing, and has had the highest success rate of all our text
ads. The Enhanced Listing is at its best
when you have a website to link to. If you don't have a website, in order to get full
value from your Enhanced Listing, you need a Web Page
(Ad Page) such as the Billboard, Web Flyer, or Web
Brochure. This is the Internet, and If you aren't linked to at least BASIC INFORMATION
beyond your contact info, you probably will be passed over in favor of the
advertiser with more extensive information. |

capital letters. A J Smith & Co or WCO Plumbing (West Coast Only
Plumbing).
2) Must be your legal, legitimate business name (the name
on your business license). Do Not use a description, or the title of your website, or a
made-up name for search "keywords" or higher alphabetical placement.

embellishments, no asterisks *, no exclamation points !,
etc.
3) 20 words or 3 lines of text:
You have a maximum of 3 lines for your text. The 20 words must fit on 3 lines. If
it does not fit, and/or you go over the 20-word limit, we will edit your text. First we
will try changing all "and" to "&" then we will edit the actual
text if necessary. (Example: We offer a full line of affordable widgets and
whatnots becomes Full line of affordable widgets & whatnots).

| INFORMATION: |
Tips on Writing Your 20 Words of Text: |
| When writing your text, include your
"keywords" in the description so your business will come up in a "product
or service" search. Also, write it in such a way that it will entice the visitor to
click for more information. |
|
| Example of a strong ad: European Trained Stylists. Full Service Salon. Perms, Hair
Color, Skin Care, Manicure, Pedicures, Tanning, Permanent Make-Up, Glycolic Acid Peels.
Example of a weak ad:
Jane's Salon - located in North County for
15 years. Full service salon with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Call for
appointment.
BE SURE TO READ "RULES" |

|
| Spam Blockers / Adding your email address to your listing: |
| To keep the Internet Robots from reading
your email address for spam lists, we have a Spam Blocker available for a small fee of $5
per listing. There is a place on the order form where you can order the Spam Blocker. Information If you purchase a Spam Blocker and are listing in more than one category,
the Spam Blocker must be added to all your listings at $5 per listing. If you
have signed up for the 6-month trial, the $5 fee(s) is for the 6-month period only. |

WEB PAGES - BANNER ADS - TILE ADS
Why do I need a
Web Page? What can a Web Page do for me?
Customers want to know what you offer. This is the
Internet, and contact
information only just doesn't cut it. If you aren't linked to at least BASIC
INFORMATION, you will be bypassed. This will
make the difference.
