Default Web Sites

After the discussion about a certain company's services, I got to wondering how many have a web site and how do you maintain it?

Hosted by GoDaddy...
Maintained by me...

Cheapest you will find (including some of our 'local' vendors) but you do have to work on it... it's not already set up with a lot of pertinent HI info.

I use one of the real estate templates in the Web Site tonight accounts...

And their customer service is exceptional

That is exactly what I use. Maybe we can trade some valuable links. Out here I added wild land fire links that are not a concern in say Chicago.

Tom,

I just went to your site; are you only using 4 of the 5 pages of your website tonight account?...

I just upgraded (this past Jan) to the 10 page site when www.atozinspector.com became available (I had been a 5 page with the old address - a .net)

I had to stretch a tad to get 10 pages filled....

Michael,

Once you get going, 10 pages is nothing. I've lost count as to how many I have. One of the tricks to getting a high ranking is to have a lot of relevant pages and make changes frequently. My home town is Anacortes. Guess who shows up #1 when you google "Anacortes home inspection"? It does take work to get up in the ranking but its a like a hobby that helps you make money. When I think of a topic that will help my clients, I write it down then when I have time I will start research the topic and put together a page on it. After 4 years I have a few pages.....

I meant it was a stretch to jump from 5 to 10 in a day. I've since filled them all and some are beginning to get a bit long... (thinking only what I'd like to read when I'm 'surfin')...

I have no plans to make a site that people can get lost in for days...

A few links to relevant information and good info on my site is what I hope for.

Junior Webmaster than I am.....

I pay $60.81 a year at Godaddy for hosting and domain name. Hard to beat that price.

prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
