BillBoards COMMENTS: Here you see three BillBoards that Randy Olson is using to promote his sites. Randy's comments are listed below, Marion, Illinois BillBoard "The MarionGuide.com billboard is a 14 x 48 Billboard right in front of a new 12 million dollar Hospital. Traffic count is about 42,000 cars a day. Cost is $500 a month. 3-year contract. I could've went for a 1-year contract at $590 a month." Mr. Vernon BillBoard #1 "This billboard is out towards our country club to catch the high-society golfing crowd. It is a 10 x 26 board for $330 a month, only a 3-month commitment. It is painted on paper, while the other 2 billboards are vinyl wraps that will last up to 3 years. " Mt. Vernon, Illionis BillBoard #2 "The (2) billboards I have in Mt. Vernon, both promote JeffersonCounty Info.com This orange board is 10 x 30. It is downtown across from the big U.S. Bank building. High traffic count: $500 a month. 1-year contract. " Randy's advice when shoppting for a BillBoard: "Negotiation is the name of the game. They want to rent them, just don't seem too eager. If they think you are serious, they will cut you a deal. The billboards have given me instant credibility, and also led to (3) seperate FREE articles by (3) different newspapers. The headline on one of them read: THE WEBSITE BEHIND THE BILLBOARDS: JEFFERSONCOUNTYINFO.COM The free publicity has been great, and it has generated many hits and many sales. My Alexa ranking for MarionGuide.com is now down to 291,879 while JeffersonCountyInfo.com is down to 433,599. (The lower the number, the better) MarionGuide had a 7-week head start on the JeffersonCountyInfo website." Submitted by Randy Olsen, MarionGuide.com
