Entertainment in Victoria, BC. New Search For Site

Tomorrow is the day I start getting entertainment business listings for our website. It will be interesting to see how fast or slow people signup on the site. Most will wait to see if others sign on and others will get on it right away.

All I can say is, Why Not ? It's free for 6 months and I hope that all the ad spots are sold so that I do not have to charge a tiny amount to the postees so we can keep the site afloat.

Hope to read your business listing soon on VictoriaNightOut.com

Victoria Nightlife will be Exposed... Soon.

Starting December 1st, 2009, I will be out pounding the pavement dropping off a business card and profile posting offers to as many entertainment related places in the Victoria, BC area as I can. Restaurants, bars, nightclubs,entertainment venues, accomodations and bands are all included.

After getting a couple hundred businesses posted I will be out trying to get other types of related businesses to advertise on my site for some really great extra exposure.

I want everyone to post and be patient so I can get out there and visit all the businesses and get them on VictoriaNightOut.com

Nightlife in Victoria, BC. 1st Profile Signup !

Awesome. I had my first business post a free business profile. So, the first business to post on the first website of this company in Canada is The Royal Oak Golf Club

To me, this is the beginning of something really cool. Now I have to build this site by getting more Victoria nightlife related businesses to post their details free for 6 months.

If you are reading this and know some owners of restaurants, bars, clubs, bands, hotels and motels, please ask them to post on VictoriaNightOut.com

Next Time.

Victoria Nightlife, The New Search Site

If you have been to VictoriaNightOut.com today (Nov.24,2009), it may look a tad messed up but that is because we keep them live even when the website wizards are working on them.

As I have said before, we are very new and there is still not one profile listed. I am not going to push it until I have the site looking good. After all, it's the 1st one of it's make in Canada. Not the 1st of it's kind, there are alot of this kind, just not from this company.

Stay in touch, Victoria Nightlife ! Soon, if you're not on our site, you're not happening.

We need tons of free profiles posted at VictoriaNightOut.com

Hey, next-time.

Oh No ! Not another Entertainment and Dining search site

This one is going be a little bit different. VictoriaNightOut.com in Victoria, BC, Canada is not going to have ads about the best deal on a set of bedsheets or where to get a lawnmower sharpened. This site will ONLY have Victoria area business listings and advertising that are category specific.

The business listings will come from owners and managers with businesses in the categories of dining, bars, entertainment, accomodations and bands. The extra 100 ad spots will be filled by closely related businesses or from others that have already listed and want more exposure.

Gets you wondering doesn't it ? Closely related businesses ? There's quite a few really. Limo companies, taxi companies, car rental agencies, bus transit authority, maybe even a tuxedo rental store. I will think of more for my next post.

Anyways, whether you will be searching VictoriaNightOut.com or posting a listing or ad, please have a look at my new site and bookmark it to your favorites. Next Time.

Coming Soon ! A New Victoria BC, Day and Night Entertainment Search Site

It's almost 2110 and the Winter Games are coming in the New Year to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The website I am starting is not about Vancouver. It's going to be an online entertainment guide to Victoria, BC's dining out, bars, entertainment, accomodations and bands. This site will be allowing businesses to list their company as long as they are within those 5 categories I just mentioned.

We will also be asking very closely related businesses to purchase some ad spaces available on the site. There are a limited amount of space for the ads so they will be gone fast.

I want as many as I can get listed before the holiday season starts and a ton more before the Games get started. There will be alot of visitors popping over to the Island and Victoria for a visit. We are going to want to show them Victoria's Best in Entertainment.

I will post again as soon as myself and the new website are ready. Make sure to bookmark this blog page in your favourites.

If you have questions even before the site is up, just use my business email

Thanks, Thomas Hay

Product/Website Review: Traffic Resort

Traffic Resort is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...



My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.



The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Traffic Resort" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Traffic Resort Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!



After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Traffic Resort link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Traffic Resort link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Resort. So if anyone clicks the Traffic Resort image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.



Now every time the ad window displays (your Traffic Resort links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.



And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Traffic Resort (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Resort image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Resort also.



I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Traffic Resort even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.



There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Traffic Resort really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.



Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Resort. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising to any webpage.
