Re: [WISPA] Biz Dev Proposal
Marlon, the way google works, you either pay TONS of money (about $1.50-$4.00 per click) or you get to page 1 of google under a search term. I can offer WISPA as a community large numbers of google traffic. Since I already get tons of traffic to http://wimax-coverage.com i can send you my the traffic that is NOT right for my biz. (50% need fixed broadband not wireless) try googleing wimax coverage and wimax access BUT under the biggest traffic terms, wireless internet (12,000 visitors a day) wimax (4000 visitors a day) my websites: http://evdo-coverage.com http://wimax-coverage.com are on page TWO. 98% less traffic than page 1. So... if everybody just made a link from their home page to mine, then google would bounce the above 2 sites to page 1 and i'd directly flow all those who need fixed broadband to http://map.wireless-internet-access-provider.com As a team, we can accomplish our goals within 2 weeks.
