About CharlestonFoodCompany.com CharlestonFoodCompany.com is an infomediary. According to webopedia.com :: Formed from a combination of the words information and intermediary, an infomediary is a Web site that gathers and organizes large amounts of data and acts as an intermediary between those who want the information and those who supply the information. The term infomediary was coined by John Hagel in his 1996 article entitled "The Coming Battle for Customer Information" in the Harvard Business Review. Yep. Advertising Opportunities (advertising sales :: paul@paulcheney.com) Question :: Why should you advertise on CharlestonFoodCompany.com? Answer :: Embarrassingly cheap, targeted, niched and industry specific exposure opportunities. We find your clients first. Let us introduce you properly. Print publications brag about their circulation. They sometimes fluff talk about how each printed copy is read 2-3+ times virtually doubling or tripling your exposure. Hurry up! Get an ad now! It's so very tactile! Ooooh! So, so shiny, and it smells so fresh, too. The advertising market has changed. Actually it is still changing. Be cautious. Spend wisely. There are so many advertising opportunities out there that in the past we found our advertising clients slinging their ad dollars into the exposure stream completely blindly and as fast as they could. That was yesterday's mentality still playing out today. Today folks are starting to look for a return on their investment. Cliché, but true. We get it. What are you going to get if you advertise with us? You get placed in the stream with the right fish. Example :: A local catering company lists with us as a Featured Sponsor($50/month). We get a lot of folks looking for caterers. A lot. Sally Jo Customer needs a caterer for her son's birthday party. She goes to google.com. She types in "charleston caterers." She sees a Free, local event planning resource called CharlestonFoodCompany.com. Due to our tried and trued usability she can find a list of Charleston Caterers with useful, easy to find contact info in just a few clicks :: Google.com > CharlestonFoodCompany.com> Charleston Caterers. How we are different. For your ROI we give you a user name, a password and a link into a simple, 3 page Advertiser Control Panel showing how many times your listing was viewed (adViews) and how many times it was clicked (adClicks) through. Track it from your own search engine reports, too, and corroborate with our data. Our goal is to take a little and give a lot. A return on a smaller investment is more reasonable in our opinion. We've dropped prices to 1920's levels because that is where the advertising industry is right now. We hope you find other advertising sources like ours and that your business is a success. May 2007 Web Statistics for CharlestonFoodCompany.com (copy and pasted from WebStats) 9,124 unique visitors We post the search engine key phrases in the bottom section of the forum located on this site. Most folks either fib about how many folks visit their site or they just don't conveniently know how to read the reports correctly. Try it yourself. Go to google.com. Type in "charleston sc restaurants" or "charleston caterers." We spend countless hours maintaining these type results for search engines like msn.com, yahoo.com, google.com, etcetera, so you don't have to.

Advertising Sales :: paul@paulcheney.com About Charleston, SC (from wikipedia.org) Charleston is a city in the county of Charleston with some incorporated areas also located within the boundaries of Berkeley County and Dorchester County in the U.S. state of South Carolina; the city serves as the county seat and largest city of Charleston County. The city was founded as Charlestown or Charles Towne, Carolina in 1670, and moved to its present location in 1680. Up until 1800, Charleston was the fifth largest city in North America, behind Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, and Quebec City. It adopted its present name in 1783. Also known as The Holy City (due to the prominence of churches on the low-rise cityscape, particularly the numerous steeples which dot the city's skyline), Charleston brims with the culturally unique, such as the joggling board. As of 2007, the estimated population of the city proper is nearly 120,000, making it the second most populous city in South Carolina behind the state capital Columbia. Current trends put Charleston as the fastest growing central city in South Carolina. The metropolitan area population of Charleston and North Charleston was estimated to be 603,178 in 2007 (including the entire populations of Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties). This ranks Charleston-North Charleston as the second largest individual metropolitan statistical area in the state behind Columbia. Nearly 80% of the Charleston metro population lives inside the city and its surrounding urbanized area (2000 pop.: 423,410). The city of Charleston is located roughly at the mid-point of South Carolina's coastline, at the junction of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. Charleston's name is derived from Charles Towne, named after King Charles II of England. America's most-published etiquette expert, Marjabelle Young Stewart, has recognized the city since 1995 as the "best-mannered" city in the U.S,[1] a claim lent credibility by the fact that it has the only Livability Court in the country.
