Free Advertising Space for Professional Genealogy Researchers

I would like to announce a new section of the EOGN Discussion Forum: Research Services. Posts in this section of the message board should only be for the advertising of genealogy and history research services. If you are a professional researcher, you can have FREE ad space in this section. We invite you to post a message with your name, area(s) of expertise, and contact info. We suggest that you not announce your prices for research as that is probably better handled offline in e-mail, mail, or by telephone.

We do invite both individuals and research firms to post announcements here. (We have a separate section for other vendors.)

To post your availability ad, or to look for professional researchers already listed, go to http://www.eogn.com/forum and click on “Researchers Available.”

I will also remind everyone that you can obtain free advertising on the EOGN Discussion Forum's Marketplace for all sorts of genealogy and history-related items and services. Your advertisement will be seen by hundreds of readers.

The ads are divided into three sections. The first is for private individuals who wish to buy or sell individual items, such as a single book or CD-ROM disk or other genealogy-related items. The second section is for vendors who wish to advertise their genealogy-related items or history-related items products or services.

The third section is brand-new and is called “Researchers Available.” If you are a professional genealogy researcher who would like to advertise your availability and your areas of expertise, I suggest you post your notice here.

Information posted to the advertising section of the message board should only be for the sale of genealogy-related or history-related goods and services. Such items include, but are not restricted to, books, CD-ROM disks, research services, journals, memorabilia, and more. You  cannot post for sale messages for "off topic" items.

Each vendor is invited to post ONE message per month. Please feel free to post another ad after the passage of 30 days. Off-topic messages, spam mail, ads for pornographic sites, etc. will be deleted immediately by the Discussion Forum managers. Please make sure your advertisements are mildly worded, not written like the script for a breathless ad for a used car dealer as seen on late night television.

Again, the ads are available free of charge. You will need to create a free membership in the Discussion Forum. However, all registration information is kept confidential. You do not receive any "spam mail" as a result of registering.

To read the ads or to create a free membership and post an ad of your own, go to: http://www.eogn.com/forum and look at MARKETPLACE.

Mr. Eastman,

Sounds pretty good. Will images be allowed? How flexible will it be for fonts/typefaces? Sometimes a little personality will make an advert more appealing.

Happy Dae.

Yes, images can be added and there is a full text editor which allows for insertion of different fonts as well as bold, underline, and italic text, and more.

I am pleased to see that several new announcements have been added, only twelve hours after the new section was created.

Hi,
Since I, too, would like to post in this section, I filled out the registration section. However, even though I saw a message that an activation code has been sent, I do not yet see an email with an activation code showing up in my mailbox. How long does it normally take for the activation code to be sent>

[Dick Eastman]

The activation code always gets sent within 2 or 3 seconds. However, AOL blocks those messages. AOL members NEVER receive those activation codes.

I will activate your account manually and then you will have full privileges.

To any other AOL members reading this: If you would like to have access to the Discussion Forum at http://www.eogn.com/forum , go there and sign up. Then come back to this site at http://www.eogn.com and click on CONTACT US at the upper right of any page here. Send a message and one of us will manually activate your account.

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful and I will surely take note of the point you have made in the blog.

I was surfing the Internet a few days back to find out what would be the best strategy to get mass exposure and traffic to my website. I found that newspaper and magazine advertising can be very helpful. If you are looking to boost your website traffic at affordable rates and get an audience of millions to view your website, then try advertising in broadsheet newspapers that offer national exposure.

I did this with web windows which is a UK based company and found amazing results with my newspaper ads. It’s also got the added advantage of reaching out to those potential customers who do not use the Internet.

I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking for solutions to get more traffic to their website at affordable rates.
