Church Web Master

Getting Your Church Noticed

The Church Webmaster “Church Directories” are an excellent way to get your church noticed. When people are searching for a church to visit they often turn to Internet search engines to find what they are looking for. Our Church Directories respond well to all the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN. etc) and people come to our sites every week looking for churches in your area.

We know that churches need to be good stewards of their budgets and we are currently offering some of the best church advertising deals on the Internet. We have four different levels of involvement and one of these plans will surely fit in your budget.

1.) Highlighted Church ($99 to $199 /year)

We have three spaces available on our directory site for “Highlighted Churches”. Our highlighted churches receive advertising coverage on one of our corner peel away ads. These ads are the most visited places on our websites. People are drawn to the ads because they want to see what is there.

The ads are located in the top right corner ($199/year as this is the most visited area on the site), top left corner ($149/year as the second most visited area on the site) and the bottom left corner ($99/year as the third most visited area of the site). As a highlighted church you will see the most Internet traffic produced by the website. We will link directly to your existing website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year) as well as develop a tailored page for your church on the directory. You will also receive all of the benefits of the Featured and Suggested Church categories as well.

2.) Featured Church ($39/year)

As a “Featured Church” your church will be one of twelve churches that are placed on the scroller at the top of our church directory sites.

We will link directly to your existing website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year) as well as develop a tailored page for your church on the directory. You will also receive all of the benefits of the Suggested Church category as well.

3.) Suggested Church ($19/year)

As a “Suggested Church” your church will be listed with a hot link in the middle column of our directory site just below the Featured Churches.

We will also give you a hot link to your existing church website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year) on your free church listing on the site. People are more likely to visit your site with a hot link then if they have to type in your url (website address).

4.) Free Church Listing

With your free “Church listing” on our directory you can send us articles about your church which we will publish on the site. These articles can promote the activities and ministries of your church and will help to attract visitors to your existing website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year) and church.

We know that these directories will bring visitors to your church! How do we know? We get a lot of visitors to our church who tell us that they found us on the Internet. Our church is in the Florida Keys and when you search for churches in the Florida Keys our directory shows up. Our church has one of the corner ads and it connects with people who are looking for a church. Check it out by clicking here “Florida Keys Churches” and then rolling your mouse over the ad in the top right corner.

If you are ready to take advantage of one of these great offers for your church, or if you have any questions, fill out the form below or call us at 305-304-6321.

Church Directories - Part 5

On Church Webmaster we have been writing a series of articles about the church directories we are setting up to help churches attract new people who are looking for churches to visit. We have been writing in particular about our Fresno California Churches site and it has now moved in to a position 3, page 1 return on Google. This demonstrates a fairly significant SEO fact. We have three directories right now that are in position 3 or higher on Google. The other two are Florida Keys Churches and Ocala Florida Churches. This is significant because these three directories are directories that we have written articles about. This means that the links that are given from an article are better than the links that are given in the sidebar of a site. At least that is what it looks like. What does that mean for us in regards to SEO? Here is a list of our top eighteen directories with regard to Google ranking:

• Cape Coral Florida Churches
• Clearwater Florida Churches
• Florida Keys Churches
• Gainesville Florida Churches
• Lakeland Florida Churches
• Ocala Florida Churches
• Fresno California Churches
• Fremont California Churches
• Oceanside California Churches
• Springfield Oregon Churches
• Hillsboro Oregon Churches
• Salem Oregon Churches
• Federal Way Washington Churches
• Flagstaff Arizona Churches
• Glendale Arizona Churches
• Scottsdale Arizona Churches
• Tempe Arizona Churches
• Gilbert Arizona Churches

Let’s take a quick look at each of the sites and see where they are today and then we will check on their movement again in the near future. The Cape Coral Florida Churches is currently in position twenty-three. It has never been a page one return. The Clearwater Florida Churches site is at position seven. This site has spent most of its time on page two so this is an improvement. The Florida Keys Churches has been at position one for the last three months and enjoys a steady traffic flow. Th Gainesville Florida Churches site has just recently moved to page one and is in position eight. The Lakeland Florida Churches is sitting at position twenty-two. The Ocala Florida Churches is in position three and has been there for several months. It also receives a steady traffic flow. The Fresno California Churches has moved in to position three in the last month. The Fremont California Churches site is in position twelve. The Oceanside California Churches site is in position seven. The Springfield Oregon Churches site is in position three. The Hillsboro Oregon Churches site is in position eight. The Salem Oregon Churches is in position eleven. It was a solid page one return but has started to drift backwards. The Federal Way Washington Churches is doing very well at position two. The Flagstaff Arizona Churches site is in position eight. The Glendale Arizona Churches site is in position fifteen. This is after being a page one return for a long time. The Scottsdale Arizona Churches site has really fallen back, moving from page one to page six in position fifty-four. The Tempe Arizona Churches site is holding on ot position eight. The Gilbert Arizona Churches site has moved back to position 14 from a solid page one return.

Our goal is to have all of these sites in the top three for their keywords. We will see what happens as we continue to track their progress.
