To Online :
There seems that there is this big international push on the internet
and the local people that want a piece of the internet pie are not
getting anything for thier efforts. You search in all the major search
engines and what do you come up with is almost nothing related to the
thing you typed in. What could happen unless some brave local souls do
somthing, is the people that are in the building trades such as me.Are
going to get discouraged and get out of the internet.The big software
businesses are pushing their great products for web page making. What
good is it doing for the small local guy.Sure out of every few thousand
are so individuals some one gets lucky and has a notable web page but
that is very remote.You can almost see it happening again on the web Big
companies get on make their millions,the little guy gets buried.And that
could very well happen to. The more popular the prime spots are to place
your add on.The more its going to cost.
In my opinion the internet and web pages are to good a thing to get
swallowed up by the corporations that are trying take it over.
I know there is a need for what I do and that is install Ceramic and
other types of tile.We do great work.And I know that there must be
homeowners out there on the net that are looking to have their bathroom
remodeled and they would like to see great photo's and we have all
that.Their has to be hotspots were the homeowner can go to locate
contractors that are in their local area.But I have searched high and
low and havn't seen anything that helps.
I have submitted my url to most of the build type net pages but I still
get buried. I have submitted my web page to over 150 different search
engines and directories and nothing.
And all these great businesses that say they'll advertise your web page
won't give you much information about small local subcontractor
installer because they know that there are to few out there that are
doing any business on the net.
