Why is it so inexpensive to advertise on this site? Everywhere I look advertising is very expensive. except on the "free search engines. " But, since it's almost impossible to get anywhere near the top, what good does it do - no-one can find me there anyway? You are absolutely right about the Free Search Engines. You get what you pay for. Internet advertising on our site is inexpensive because we chose to make it that way. There are several methods a business can choose to conduct business. One of those choices is the Barnum and Bailey method. (There is a...) whereby you charge as much as you can get away with knowing that some people "think" that the more it costs the better a deal it is. You work less and make a lot of money. The other method is to give everyone a good deal, well worth the money they paid and then you succeed by helping those around you succeed. We have chosen the second method because we feel it is the most beneficial for everyone. We also know that you will receive more than your money's worth and will want to continue your advertising and even expand it, to be even more successful. Our company philosophy is to prove our worth to you and then invite you to participate in more advertising and marketing ventures that will be even more lucrative for you. We have many advertising opportunities available on our site from banners, to display ads and sponsorships that will benefit you and your company even more that basic advertising. We want you to consider these possibilities and consider us as your Internet adverting and marketing source in the future. It's that simple. We hope that make sense to you. If you still feel that you should be paying more, and want to get more, then start off with one of our higher level advertising and marketing campaigns such as sponsor advertising or our "top of the page" listings. These programs will get your business seen more often. Also See.

NapaYellowPages.com is an advertising medium like any other. Where and how you position your listing will determine how much response you receive. Because our listings are categorized, naturally, you should list in your category. If you sell hardware you would list under "hardware" but if you sell a lot of tools you might place a listing under tools as well. If a lot of your customers are contractors who buy tools you may want a listing under contractors too. Once you decide what the best category or categories are best, then you should decide where you want to be on that page. Naturally, the best place for exposure is the very top of the page. Fortunately, the internet, although a very good place to advertise, (millions of people visit NapaYellowPages.com) is not as expensive as paper advertising. While you can pay a thousand or more dollars per month on paper advertising it may cost you as little as $7 to $50 per month to advertise here.

listing or ad? This depends on 2 factors. What other advertisers are
doing in that category and what kind of traffic you want to receive.
Although we would love to have you take a sponsor ad no matter what it is
not always necessary and, since we are a local business not some large
conglomerate we realize that the happier we make you the happier we will

businesses without websites and there is only one page of listings you
might want to take the least expensive listing at 45 per year. Since
you will the only, or one of a few business with a website link, you will
immediately stand out. Anyone scanning the alpha list will see your
listing and click on your website. When the category has a lot of listing
with website links, many pages, some bold listing and so forth it may be
to your advantage to take a bold listing ($7 per month ) or a Mid-Page
(level 3 Yellow Listings )
listing. The bold listing will make your listing stand out within the
alpha list. If there are no listing above the alphabetical listings you
might consider listing there. Your listing will be the first to be seen!

website or call the top of page listings first. You listing only costs $16
per month and as long as you keep this listing it will appear above anyone
else listing at that level. If you want to be at the top of a page that is heavily advertised with many display ads and listing you "can" do that by taking a Sponsor Ad for that category.
