The Bid.com community of websites consists of hundreds of websites with names all ending in Bid.com. These websites cover all items used in construction with names like WhirlpoolBid.com, DeckBid.com, BrickBid.com, FaucetBid.com and etc. Currently, we are looking for one “dealer” advertiser for each state, in each website. The cost for one year of advertising in your state is only $59. Below we explain why this is dirt cheap advertising.

Potential buyers are “snagged” by Bid.com website names. It is obvious, for example, that a website named FaucetBid.com will probably catch the attention of buyers looking to purchase a faucet. Also, research shows that a potential faucet buyer will probably type “faucet” in his Google search when trying to locate someone to sell him a faucet and websites with faucet in their name are most likely to pop up in the search results.

Bid.com website names are easy to remember. For example, if you are a plumber and advertise FaucetBid.com, ShowerBid.com, TubBid.com, HeatingBid.com, etc. on the side of your company truck it is likely that people wanting one of these items will find it easy to remember the website name.

We have Bid.com website names that cover all the items used in construction and the active construction related websites will all be listed on web pages. This means, for example, if a buyer goes to TubBid.com to buy a tub he will see all the other active construction websites listed where he can buy things like a faucet, shower, toilet, roof, deck and etc. This cross linking of the Bid.com websites creates an environment whereby potential buyers come to your web page ad from literally “all directions”.

Although the Bid.com business model is an extremely powerful advertising machine it is dirt cheap for you to participate. The most important thing for you and us is to attract “dealers” in all states in all websites. Truly, this is a situation where we all get stronger when one more “dealer” takes a web page – together we can do much more than we can alone. Our philosophy is to try to give our “dealers” as much value as is possible so that we can quickly grow the Bid.com community.

Of course we must reserve the right to change our program at any time but it is our objective is to return enough value to our advertising “dealers” that they never have to think twice about remaining a member of the Bid.com community of websites.

If you would like to the advertising “dealer” in your state phone us at 1-800-783-5568 or fill out the form below telling us which website you want to advertise on and in what state. The cost for one year of advertising in your state is only $59.

Why is it important to have the right domain name?

One often underestimated part of a business online marketing campaign is the domain name (i.e. the name of your website). A good domain name can play a major part in the success of your web site to grab customers.

This article will focus on how to select a good domain name.

While the most obvious and probably the most common choice for a business is to use their own name as their web site's domain, this is often not the best choice. While this may be a good name by which existing clients can remember your site, the key is for your web site to generate new leads and new customers. Domain names like JohnDoeBusiness.com will not identify your web site to potential customers searching the web for your products and services.

It is unlikely that consumers will search for you by name. Instead they will be searching for the item they are trying to find like, for example, “Whirlpool” or “Whirlpool Dealers”. Furthermore, once they've visited your site and moved on, it will be much easier for someone looking for a whirlpool to remember the name WhirlpoolBid.com than to recall the name of a whirlpool dealer they once heard about. This holds especially true if your name is not common or is difficult to spell. We would suggest registering your JohnDoeBusiness.com as a domain name that is directed to your company website, but not as the only name/website used.

The best domain names should be descriptive and serve to identify your target audience. Ideally it would also contain keywords that potential clients would search by. This simple change will help improve your site's search engine rankings dramatically.

Our “Bid.com” domain names are both descriptive and contain the highly important keywords. In addition to being descriptive of your service, “Bid.com” website names are short enough that they can be used in conversation easily. Shorter names tend to be more professional, easier to spell, and more memorable. They also look nicer on printed materials and advertisements.

All “Bid.com” website names are dot-com names. The shortage of memorable dot-com domains has led to the creation of dozens of other extensions. However, nothing will replace the brand name associated with a dot-com domain name. Similar to the 1-800 toll free numbers, dot-com will always be the most well known extension and the first place people will look for a name they remember. Most importantly, the reason companies usually register with a non dot-com name is that the dot-com is already taken. A non dot-com website can end up promoting the dot-com website of the same name. Now do you really want to run the risk of advertising and promoting your web site only to send a large portion of your clients to your competitor's site?

Another option our “Bid.com” website model offers is to utilize more than one “Bid.com” web site. By having more than one domain name and web site, you can target each potential buyer specifically, and establish yourself as the expert in that area. An example of this would be a plumber that advertises in BathBid.com, FaucetBid.com, WhirlpoolBid.com, TolietBid.com, SinkBid.com and etc.
