I changed the title of this post, because it shows up on Google "My website sucks" smile.gif
Even though it does and even though I am one step below computer illiterate. bleh

I really don't care to represent my business name with the word SUCKS! smile.gif

I'm talking with other pros here and looking into a number of other possibilities for making a new and real website!
http://pressurecleaningbychuckbergman.webs.com/

 

Is there any place you know of to make a decent free website?

Or a real nice cheap one? confuse

I have 2 friends in this business with good, paid, websites and yet they say they don't generate any serious amount of work from them?
I'm open to suggestions and links to possibilities??
Thanks,
Chuck

Hey chuck,

I got to say I don't thinks the website is that bad for free or dirt cheap. I would get rid of some things that you have written on there that as a customer would bore me. I have to tell you I covered my first two homes then I realised if I water heavy before and after I am fine.I have not lost one shrub,plant or flower and saved time that way instead of putting tarps down and picking up wet tarps folding them then putting them away.Time is money.

Chuck, a wen site is like a pretty girl.
If no one sees her. what good is she ?
To be effective, a web site must be found in searches.
We do this by using keywords on our web site.
Your keywords should reflect the work you do. and where you do  it.

Like THIS
"Chuck Bergman has been cleaning roofs in Sarasota and Punta Gorda FL for over 8 years.
Call us at 941 666 6666 for Sarasota FL Roof Cleaning, Englewood FL Roof Cleaning, and Roof Cleaning in Punta Gorda FL.
Chuck Bergman attended schol at the roof cleaning institute of america, and is  a fuly certified roof cleaning professional serving South West Florida.
We offer both Shingle Roof Cleaning, and Tile Roof Cleaning"


GET the picture now Chuck ?

Now, GET busy, and re write that web site the RIGHT way ?

It's not that bad Cuck..... (I had to do that)
I just created another site using: Office Live
RemovingArtilleryFungus.com was created with this site,..it's not great but the site is very easy to use. You have to be using IE7 or Firefox 3 to be able to use it. It's a pretty good deal,...you get a domain name and hosting for two years for $15.00. Pretty tough to beat really. It was easy to use and it was up and online in just minutes,...literally.
There is alot more that can be done than I did, I just haven't messed with the site  very much.

Jeff, SEE what I did with your profile ?
By using BOTH PA and Pennsylvania we hit BOTH keywords.
Pretty soon, anyone doing a search for roof cleaning central PA will find you man!
This is a Bad AZZ Forum, search engine wise.
Have you noticed it coming up in local roof cleaning searches yet ?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLL_en&q=roof+cleaning+central+pennsylvania

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_en&q=roof+cleaning+central+pa

LOL

Yea I know Chris, this forum has brought me out of the shadows of the internet. I read where sites usually  take up to 6-8 weeks to even be found,.....  Heck, mine was found in about 4 days and is getting noticed. Yea this is a great site!!! Thanks man!!!

And I do appreciate you optimizing my signature.

Yea Dave, my goal is to knock that Peak guy off the top spot. He's not a competitor, but I still want the top spot. My site isn't advertised yet, and has only been up about a month,...we shall see!!

WOW CHRIS!!! I'm number 3 on Google with that change you made in my name!!! NOW! One more thing, if you would?

Chris, I am amazed! There is no doubt what you did for me works!
However, I actually try to avoid working in Sarasota, seeing as how I live in Port Charlotte / Englewood area. I do gladly work in Venice though!
Can you change it from Chuck Bergman Roof Cleaning Sarasota Florida, to
Chuck Bergman Roof Cleaning Port Charlotte, Englewood, Venice Florida
for me? Thanks and i'll take your advice on my website and make the changes there too!
THANKS A MILLION!!!!

Very easy site to use is yahoo. they do have yahoo site builder program that offers more templates to choose from. It is very user friendly.

You have to pay for it but is very cheap 10- 20 bks for 3 mo. then 12-14 mo. after.

Good luck

Let me know if you decide to use yahoo and need tips on navigating through it. The yahoo site is limiting to 40-50 templates. But you can google yahoo site builder, you down loand that into your computer and work on it at your own leisure. It  provides about 400 templates (if my memory serves me:) )
Well good luck and have fun building.
