From Brand Marketing to Communities!

The web is Big but becoming smaller each day. The first phase of WEB was creating on-line information resources but lately developers have been focusing on linking smaller more 'focused' and related communities. Web developers and organizations have been forming "Community Websites" and trying to pull everyone in; thereby competing with countless "similarly" focused websites in the search engine war.

Many popular brands are forming communities and there are communities for communities. It is almost becoming impossible to compete and engage in so many communities. That's why "Community Links" is focusing on promoting and branding like-minded, relevant - true "community" websites with a primary "local" or "Buy Local" messaging.

The real attraction to a community is "relevancy" to content that shows the visitors not only the brand or organization but the focused information they seek. Relevancy to "common content" is a lot different from relevancy to the mass messaging in the media or most sites focusing on a similar but yet unfocused message. Finding relevancy is typically found in smaller groups of people who seek knowledge and details that reflect their current needs. Common focused content is what creates relational bonds between "Communities". Haven’t you noticed that your "relevant" visitor group is actually becoming smaller regardless of how many "followers and friends" you have?

I have a great website, isn't that enough?

Most potential customers looking for local businesses in your area don't have your website address in advance. They will most likely use search engines, yellow pages directories or popular local search sites to find what they’re looking for. In order to get calls from these customers you have to make sure your business listing appears prominently on all these sites.

Communitylinks.us is the only service dedicated to promoting your "Portal" or "Directory" site visibility in all the places where your customers go.
