Heads up to you laser engravers

[Keith Outten]

The new Friends of The Creek directory system was started based on requests from this group. You should all know that in browse mode all of the records will be presented in the order they were created not alphabetically. This means that those who join early will have the lowest record numbers, hence the most exposure when people are browsing page after page.

You may consider this a shameless plug if you like but I felt obligated to remind everyone that waiting may not be in your best interest.

As one who supported this idea from the beginning I want to encourage everybody who has a business (hobby or full time) with a web site to sign up fast. I can say without equivocation that linking your site to SMC is productive.

[Robert Rosensteel]

How do you sign up?

[Ross Moshinsky]

I'm about a month out from my new site being up. If I were to buy the space now, could I reserve my spot until the site is ready to launch?

Use this link. http://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=137709

Yes, go ahead and sign up using the link above. You can list your domain name even if you haven't activated it yet.

You can edit your listing at any time as you add or delete items or services. Be advised that when you edit the new content must be approved before your link will be active again. That will usually be done overnight but could take a little longer.

Once the PayPal transaction is complete Jackie will add an electronic key to your account here which will automatically post 365 days to your account. When that is complete you can go to the FOTC page and you will have the ability to create your record and secure the next number in the database. Don't be to concerned about what you include in your record if you are still working on your web site, you can update your record at any time adding or removing information as you see fit.

The reason we review all entries is to prevent anyone from entering inappropriate language or links to adult sites.

We review PayPal and update accounts between 3 to 6 times per day.

Well I just took spot #11....always one spot shy of a top ten Arrrrrggggghhhh!!!!!

Welcome to FOTC. My spot is being updated so it doesn't show until re-approved. But you'll just be one spot lower on the list. Still a great bargain.

Mike, I'd prefer nothing listed honestly but my space reserved. Nothing worse than someone trying to go to your website and then hitting a dead link/inactive site. They'll never visit again.

[Mike Null]

You can write your copy and list your contact info and add the domain later.

[Angus Hines]

OK everybody needs to do this !!! I have already gotten 2 jobs because of this listing !!! Which paid for the cost of it !!!

[Tim Bateson]

This wasn't what I requested! I am deeply disappointed.

[Doug Griffith]

This wasn't what I requested! This is nothing more than paid advertising and an embarrassment to this web forum.

A little harsh there aren't you Tim?

It's paid advertising for a low fee that gives exposure to the entire Creek.

That's what it is. Take it or leave it.

[Dan Hintz]

Tim,

Could you elaborate? Did you expect something other than what was presented, or were you promised something other than what is being offered to everyone?

It seems pretty straightforward what is offered, so I'm having a hard time understanding what would make you feel duped.

[Scott Shepherd]

This is what Keith said it would be :

We have a project that we have been thinking about for some time that might be what some of you are looking for, it is a "Friends of The Creek List". The list would include your business name and contact information including your web link. The cost would be $50.00 per year to be included on the list which I think is inexpensive considering the link value and the exposure here. It would be tied to your login here and our accounting system for tracking purposes. I would have programming and maintenance expenses involved so I can't do it for free. A lot of people would have to sign up for this system before I can justify the cost.

And this is what you said, Tim :

Thanks Keith.

Not sure where the disconnect is, but it looks like Keith did exactly what he said he was going to do, why the surprise?
