Have you visited our GetCalhoun.com Coupon Page? You ought to drop by. Awhile back I placed a very special Live Cam on there. I can promise, there is NO other coupon page in all of America with this type of live web cam on their site, much less a page with coupon specials on it. I'd say it's pretty much unique.
Drop by and check it out. Check out the coupon specials. Check out the crazy wild party cam. The festivities really gets wild after the sun goes down. But you may get a glimpse of some of our very dear shoppers at most any time. It's very decadent!
PS... The Coupon Page Party Cam is subject to be removed at any time. The party cools off, it's coming down!

I had the pleasure to hear from a young man with a business here in Calhoun County awhile ago. He found GetCalhoun.com on election night while looking for election results. He probably typed in something like, "calhoun county al election results" and GC popped up as the first listing.
Unfortunately, I had not prepared my election results page for the primary this time around, but he did discover the GC website and took a good look around.
It turned out that he has a website, but it evidently isn't working as well as he'd like. So, I outlined how I could help him by making a great web page for him here, with links to his website, where he'd prefer his potential customers to be. We didn't close the deal, but time will tell. I hope he makes the leap and comes on board. It will be a good thing for him.
While we were talking, I used an existing page on GC as an example because, while we were talking two different businesses, his needs were similar to Tony's down at Classic Customs in Oxford. Tony has a great selection of truck accessories, and the gentleman I was talking to also carried several lines of merchandise.
I explained that getting the name of your business to come up in a local search isn't terribly complicated. Where it gets technical is getting the type of business to place highly in the search engines. For example, "truck accessories, Anniston" or "truck covers, Anniston". Both searches turn up Classic Customs on GC on page 1.
How about "truck accessories alabama. Same for truck covers alabama". Tony's GC page comes up on pages one and two for Google.
Even better, let's drill down to products.... Now, for any product, some website is going to come up number one. Type in "toothbrushes" and you get a buhzillion listings...but somebody is always going to be #1. It's unrealistic to ever expect to beat that curve.
You know yourself, when you search for something on the internet, you have to narrow it down a bit. So, how about typing in something that Tony carries in his store? How about Bedrug? It's literally a cover for the bed of your truck.
If you type "bedrug anniston" (or most any other area city) into ol Google, Classic Customs comes up at the TOP of the search page. That's pretty neat! But, if you type in "bedrug alabama", then guess what? Classic Customs comes up at the TOP of the page. And this works nearly the same for all the major search engines including Yahoo and Bing too.
So, ashamedly, I am somewhat bragful about the POWER of GetCalhoun.com. It even amazes me a lot of the time.
The fact is, the power of GetCalhoun.com to get not only companies, but even their products listed is not an accident. It is the result of hard work, and Google and company smiling down on GC from on high. The search engines being what they are, nobody can guarantee results, but if a man knows what he's doing, he can increase the odds in a fierce fashion. I have been tweaking GC since 2002, and it's some kind of powerful!
It does not matter what medium you advertise in. The important thing to consider is what you are selling. Will you sell enough to make a profit on your advertising expenditure?
All things considered, that's why I know that GetCalhoun.com is a good investment for most businesses. Compared to the traditional media, it's dirt cheap, and it's good for long haul advertising. You have to think 24/7, 365 when you think internet advertising. Of course, if folks aren't finding your business, it doesn't matter anyway. That's never a problem here.
