If you run 10 dealer classifieds or more in the “By Dealers Only” columns in the newspaper, those classifieds will also appear on the Internet. You will receive a free listing on our Dealers On-line page on our Internet site.
Investment
    $ 85 Per Week
    ($8.50 Each x 10 Listings Without Color Photos)

    $ 150 Per Week
    ($15 Each x 10 Listings With Color Photos)

Category Net is a cost effective method for the advertiser with a limited budget to get Internet exposure. Our Category Net Plan allows you to have a banner ad that is directly linked to your own electronic display ad (home page), which is on our site. As an example, if you are a computer dealer, every time someone goes to any of the computer related columns on our Internet Site to do a specific search, your unique advertising message (banner ad) will appear in rotation with several other advertisers . When the user clicks on your banner ad, it will bring them to your Free Electronic Display Ad (a home page) which we design for you. Your home page cannot have any specials on it, or any classified listings, and cannot be changed except for minor adjustments.
Investment
    3 Months -   $350
    6 Months -   $600
    12 Months - $900

Check for Domain Name Availability

By clicking on the link below, you will be able to check to see if the Domain Name you want for your business is currently available or not. This process is called a "Whois" query, and checks the Domain Name against records kept at the World Wide Internet Registry. All Domain Names must be unique. If your query results in a "This Domain is Available" then your Domain Name IS AVAILABLE! and can be set up by us immediately! If it is already owned by someone else, the registry will in most cases inform you of who the present owner is and how to possibly contact them.

Important: when checking for Domain Name availability, please be sure to enter your query in the proper format. For example: enter "yourbusinessname.com" in the search box; www.yourbusinessname.com is incorrect, since "www" is not a working part of the Domain Name.

If your Domain Name is available, contact us immediately so that we may reserve it for you before another similar business registers it.
