Why a
Directory Site?
--
A directory site benefits viewers.
A Goldens-only site benefits viewers by allowing them to get the
information they need without slogging through page after
slow-loading page of other species, other breeds etc.
While searching for my own pup, I dug long and
hard in the search engines, and wished mightily for just such a
convenient directory!
-- A directory site allows members of an
industry to band together to wield some clout in the search
engines.
Properly deployed, a directory site can
attract a good chunk of search engine traffic on a particular
search query. If a viewer searches and the result are
densely populated with one directory or its members, it's a
slam-dunk that the directory must be the place to go. And
quite frankly, it's a shame that it isn't easier to find a
reputable breeder than some of the more aggressively-marketed
sites promoting who-knows-what.
-- Why THIS
directory site?
I've captured Internet traffic
with other directory sites, so that their niches are strongly
covered. I'll be putting everything I've learned in the
past seven years to use for HealthyGoldenRetrievers.com and its
members. I can't think of a more fun way to work, with my
dogboy sitting next to me!

I already have a
website. Why should I be on HealthyGoldenRetrievers.com?

Traffic, traffic, exposure, traffic.
A Goldens-only site with lots of search engine draw pulls a lot
of directed viewer traffic. Not just casual browsers, but
people definitely searching for one thing. Ummm, how much
traffic has your site gotten recently? Would some more
click-throughs hurt?
-- Need a little website help?
Your area of expertise is
breeding; mine's graphics and marketing. Maybe your
website could project a more professional presence to the
viewer, or could use the marketing tweaks that make your site
work better for you and your target market.
Yes, HealthyGoldenRetrievers does that too (how DID you know that was
coming?). Check our
website design page, or send me
an email. I'm here to make the Internet work for you!

I don't have a
website, or even email. Why should I be on
HealthyGoldenRetrievers?
Say some helpful fellow
breeder is telling you about this, or showing you this
site. Here's how we can help you even if you're not ON the
Internet:
--
Internet exposure when you don't have a webpage.
HealthyGoldenRetrievers
is perfect -- you get targeted viewer traffic,
your Premier Breeder listing page will display a full
description to viewers, and give them all your contact
information. It's a great way to establish Internet
presence without diving full-on into a website.
-- Email forwarding for those without.
We all start somewhere!
HealthyGoldenRetrievers will be happy to fax or phone inquiries to
you.
-- Later, when you're ready . . .
HealthyGoldenRetrievers can walk you
through the process of selecting and registering your own domain
name, and offers
website design
services. It's
one-stop shopping, where you get the benefit of a designer with
expertise in industry-specific work. I'm happy to explain
things as we go along, and educate you in best utilizing
marketing techniques with your website, because I started out
the same way. I learned by trial and error, so you don't
have to!

Cut to the
chase. What does it cost?
Premier Breeder listing on
HealthyGoldenRetrievers.com will be FREE while the site is new and building
traffic. I can't think of anything more fair than letting
you "try before you buy".
The first
50 breeders who request paid
membership will receive a special Charter Member rate of
US$150.- per year, payable in quarterly installments of
$37.50. Charter Members will retain that rate unless they
let their membership lapse. After the first 50 in the
gate, regular breeder membership will be available at the annual rate of US$200.-, billed in quarterly installments of
$50.-.
To get listed, please send me an
email
with your contact information (land address/phone), and the
names of your dogs whose status I can confirm in the OFA, CERF and/or
CHIC databases. We'll start the greet-and-sniff, and
should we decide to proceed, I'll
send you a Membership Insertion Order by return for your signature.
The members are what make the directory, and I'd
like this to be the very best directory of Premier Breeders of
Golden Retrievers available to Internet viewers.
