Trick Where on a category page should I advertise Where on the page should you place your
listing or ad? This depends on 2 factors. What other advertisers are
doing in that category and what kind of traffic you want to receive.
Although we would love to have you take a sponsor ad no matter what it is
not always necessary and, since we are a local business not some large
conglomerate we realize that the happier we make you the happier we will
be. So with that in mind... On a category page where the only listing are
businesses without websites and there is only one page of listings you
might want to take the least expensive listing. Since
you will the only, or one of a few business with a website link, you will
immediately stand out. Anyone scanning the alpha list will see your
listing and click on your website. When the category has a lot of listing
with website links, many pages, some bold listing and so forth it may be
to your advantage to take a bold listing ($15 per year extra ) The bold listing will make your listing stand out within the
alpha list. If there are no listing above the alphabetical listings you
might consider listing there. Your listing will be the first to be seen!
Statistically, it is well known that shoppers will probably visit your
website or call the top of page listings first. You listing only costs $14.95
per month (for the test listing) and as long as you keep this listing it will appear above anyone
else listing at that level. If you want to be at the top of a page that is heavily advertised with many display ads and listing you "can" do that by taking a Sponsor Ad for that category. This is by far the best advertising opportunity available for heavily advertised categories. The sponsor ad is the Number 1 page of any category. The only thing on that page is a copy of your website with a link directly to your site and links to the other page(s) in that category. Anyone going to that category has to see your website first!
