(PRLEAP.COM) The site is another in a series of projects by Daybreak
Web Designs. The site is entitled "Worldwide Charter and Guide
Directory" and is located at
www.charter-guide.info. The project provides business owners such
as fishing charters, fishing guides, hunting guides, lodges, nature
tour operators, sailing charters and other members of the outdoor
adventure industry with a variety of tools.
"This comes at a critical time for a lot of charter boat captains and
fishing guides. With small business owners facing skyrocketing fuel
prices and the present economic situation, not everyone can afford to
spend a lot advertising at the moment." explained Craig Banks of
Daybreak Web Designs.
The site runs on a software platform that is extremely flexible and
expandable. Critical features include the capability of the software to
create pages that are likely to rank well in search engine results.
Mr. Banks went on to explain that "This project has been built from the
foundation up with search engine results in mind. Depending on the
situation, its entirely possible that a struggling new business owner
could enter their information and within a few months find their
listings to be in the top rankings of search engine results. The
software gives us the ability to add categories and regions quickly,
thereby responding to the changing face of the outdoor adventure
sector. The recent increased popularity of eco-tourism is a good
example of changes in the industry. We are committed to being
responsive to these trends."
The project is more than the typical directory where the business owner
submits his information, usually for a fee, then hopes it will get
noticed among the others. Businesses that need exposure will have a
variety of tools on site. The basic directory submission is
straightforward with free entry level listings. Beyond the basic
listings are paid levels where listings are pushed to the top of the
category and shown in bold font. Additional paid options include text
links or banners on the home page.
Perhaps the most powerful tool on the site is the article submission
feature. This allows the business owner to submit articles about their
services or other topics. As a promotional tool, these articles can be
extremely valuable and effective for a number of reasons. First, this
gives the business owner a chance to get a backlink to their website.
As many people are aware, the number of backlinks are the big factor in
a website’s search engine clout. The technical environment of the
article listing equates to a strong "vote" for the business owner’s
website within search engine calculations.
Another reason for businesses to consider submitting articles to
www.charter-guide.info is the potential for the article itself to
appear in search engine results, thereby generating human traffic and
exposure. Additionally, article submissions do not require the author
to have a website, so even those business that lack their own site can
gain some publicity.
For those businesses that lack a website but want to get listed in the
directory, Daybreak Web Designs offers special pricing on simple
turnkey websites for outdoor service providers. This service allows
every small business to have an online presence and full use of the
directory’s features.
The Worldwide Charter and Guide Directory is the next in a series of
outdoor-related websites from Daybreak Web Designs. Being part of a
family of related sites is one of the strengths of the site, as human
traffic can be directed to the project, offering business owners
assurance of their information reaching potential customers. Related
sites from Daybreak Web Designs include Maryland - Virginia Saltwater
Fishing,
www.fresh-seafood.net,
www.commercial-fishing.org,
www.chincoteague-island.net,
www.tidewater-virginia.net and
www.virginia-beach-va.net.
A full expansion of categories and listings are in progress and a
series of promotional tactics will provide service providers with
visibility. Meanwhile outdoor enthusiasts will find the directory to be
a well balanced source of both outdoor information and an easy source
of shopping online for services.
