If you are a member of the Forestry Forum that owns a small business, I have created a space on the entrance page of the Forestry Forum for advertising. We have a huge amount of traffic now and I think many of you might possibly benefit from such an ad.  The link created can go to your website, or if you dont have a website, we can create a simple single page for you, OR we can link it to a listing in the find-a-sawyer database if you have one there.  The cost of this sponsorship should be affordable and should also be deductable as an advertising cost/business expense on your taxes.  I am going to ask for $15 dollars a month to be listed on the front page. The space is limited and I would like to do this in 12 month chunks.

Take a look at www.forestryforum.com .On the far right side of the page, the blank area underneath the forum toolbox. If we do this, It will have a header something like "Member companies" or something.

Sign me up Jeff - and make it for a year.

First of all, I am all for supporting the group here. I get a lot of value (and laughs) from this site, giving back makes sense.

But, from a totally business point of view - traffic for a website is everything. Since Forestry Forum is a heavyweight in traffic - just look at all the people here - it creates higher rankings in google. Cheaper than paying adwords or other pay-for-click stuff. Also, Google will count this a a very good link since for most of us, it is in the same industry. Link farms can drive down your rankings if they are unrelated.

Also, I already pay 100 dollars a month to EcoWorld at it is some of the best money I have ever spent. I monitor our traffic and I can tell how much I get from our advertizers. I am always looking for value like this.

For those of you who have websites and need traffic - this is a great deal.

So, how did I end up here anyway?

Jeff,

What would you charge to host a website along with advertising?  My only concern is how do you distingush between your current sponsor and members that have small business?

I generally charge 20 a month to host a basic website that has its own domain name. That includes a few bells and whistles, so about 35 a month to include the ad. The bigger the website of course, the more it may be. A site wit ha tom of graphics, say for a phtography site would be more. There is still the free space offered to members but that is very limited space and function.

This is only being offered to individuals that are forum members that have a small business. Not to a corporation or large company that can afford a regular sponsorship. The link on the front page will be a text link using the name of the company, or DBA.

As a part time sawyer, I would love to give you money, and get a tax break.
I do most of my sawing fall thruogh spring.
I would like to do 6 mo. at a time, say from Sept 1 thru Feb .
If you start soon I would sign up for 3 mo. for sure.

I am still hoping to get a little more serious response to this, were going to need at least a few that would want to do this for appearances sake. Now this does not have to be a wood related business. I know there are several out there that have unrelated businesses. This is fine because its a premium to a member for the sponsorship.

Jeff,

Count me in for a years sponsorship.  Let me know what you need and I will send you a check.
Selling hardwood lumber, doing some sawing and drying, growing the next generation of trees and enjoying the kids and grandkids.

Since it does not have to be a wood related business, we would be interested in trying a 6 month subscription.

Count me in Jeff.  We have a site already that maybe we can link to.  In my line of work we have to go through a "compliance" department, but I think keeping our own site and linking to it should be OK.  I'll PM you some more details! 

I have already done business with a few members on here and its real nice talking with folks that already kinda kow and trust you than just some stranger on the phone.

Sounds like this may be very do-able at this point.  Give me a little time to arrange some sort of payment device through pay-pal to make it easy for even those outside of the U.S.  I will also certainly have other methods for those that do not use paypal.

Now, since you are the folks involved, I would like some input from you all on what the heading above your sponsor links should say.

"Member sponsors" ?

"Please support these

Please take a look at the header I created for the members' links on the first page. If anyone has a problem with it, lets do something else. If not, let me know and I'll proceed with contacting those of you that mentioned you wanted to get started.

www.forestryforum.com to look....

Also!  I am going to create some sort of revolving sytem for the top link. Possibly lables with a Link of the day tag or something. All other links below that will be in alphabetical order by company name.

Only thought that crossed my mind was maybe getting too many ads crowding the screen and diluting the message especially of the major sponsors but also the shameless individuals as well. Not saying it's a bad idea, just thinking out loud for your consideration.  ???

Jeff

When I say "Not to use this" I mean the heading, not the idea.

It will only be on the firstpage and they are not "Ads"  They are a list of text links to member businesses that are trying to support the forum and getting a "premium" for that support. The type of links allowed will not be anything that would over shadow the major sponsors of the forestry forum.  I think a glance at the first page will show that I am not overcrowding, or trying to crunch to much into a small space, but simply utilyzing available white space. A good time to look is now when you can see all the blank area.  I ty not to take anything I do here lightly and have considered most of those valid points that you make.

I think the type size of the shameless guys needs to be a point bigger or maybe a different font. They are a little hard to read and I don't usually have a problem with that sort of thing.

A bigger space between them might help, too.

Google as well as MSN have already spydered the new links on the forum. THe Forum is so dynamic that instead of every few months, like most sites, we get indexed at LEAST once a week and sometimes everyday. If you are linked to our front page you get noticed right away instead of waiting weeks.

I already noticed a search improment on one thing I tried. THe other day I tried searching for Joh's company address and had not luck finding his site. Today I searched google with simply:

RCB & Associates


The Forum comes up number one with the link right there and available.

Hopefully you all see an improvement in your searches and I thank each of you for helping with the support of the Forestry Forum.

We have room for a handful more links yet...

Search on Reforestation and you will find us - usually number one. I am pretty proud of that!  8)

Sorry Jeff,
  I don't think that this little tid bit of advertising would do much in my case.  I have yet to see or hear of any other people on the Forestry Forum from Saskatchewan.  99% of all of my sales are from within this province.  Under a normal year I may get only major sale from out of province.  Even with the tax deductable receipt to recover the cost of the advertising I can not justify this.  I am not saying that this is not a very good thing to do, it is just the frontage that does not work for me.  Maybe at a later date I will be interested (once I can see ssome sort of activity on behalf of people from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and, possibly more involvement from Saskatchewan.

Sorry,  Brad.

Hey Brad,

The thing is this:  by being here on the Forum, you actually have serious frontage on Google, so that if anyone, who hasn't even ever heard of the Forum, Googles you, you'll pop up towards the top in a search for Saskatchewan custom sawmilling.  The Forestry Forum has so much traffic that Google "spyders" it all the time, thus by appearing on here, you automatically rise to the top in Google's search engine.  The bottom line?   You have high traffic when anyone searches for a sawmiller in your province.

That's what's been going on with Stumpy's site--it's jumped to the top in the Google search, simply because he's on here.   The advertising has less to do with advertising to the people who might frequent the forum, but rather it gets your name in the Google heirarchy so you can quickly become top dog in the search engines for your particular niche market.  Pretty cool stuff!   8)



Y'all can pronounce it "puh-SKOLLY"

Jeff

Thats cool brad. :)  Hopefully this is something that will benefit some of the members.  Actually, this is closer to a PBS pledge where you get a premium.  The folks that do it are supporting the forum in their own way above and beyond anything that is ever expected of a member, and hopefully, in return, the small thing like placing the link on the forum will give them some sort of positive return. 

The only thing EVER expected of a member for support is to be part of the group, contribute to the conversations where you can and help another member if you have the opportunity.

Jeff,

I am wondering if you would accept an ad for another website.  My sister-in-law has a RPG website/forum and is trying to get it off the ground and is not having to much luck(it is going slowly).

I was thinking of maybe buying space for an ad for her site as a Christmas present and help this site too.  I think you have started a great site.  Let me know what your feelings are on this.

Here is a link to her site to let you see if you deem it appropriate.

Good morning Jeff. I've read all of this link. You identified that you wanted this for the members who have small businesses. I've not started my business yet and was considering going LLC. My tax guy persuaded/convenced me to go full INC. as the LLC did not protect me personally or my personal assets.

Yes but I have to be able to get the logs to the saw or the saw to the logs. Started raining here after lunch. And, I don't have a tractor. I'm heading to Lt. Rock leaving at 07:00. The guy I was going to cut for said I could sleep in. Yea, right. With a show and good friends this close. :D
