Default Where to advertise

Hello..

I am the webmaster for http://www.linenplace.com ...

I'm not big into the linen industry, and my boss has delegated to me
the rather perplexing task of getting our site out in the open. Does
anyone know where or how I can go about advertising WITHOUT spamming?
Who might be interested in our product-base? Who our target audience is
and how to appeal to them specifically? etc...

The only textile group that allows ads is
rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace. You might also read the Advertising on
Usenet FAQ at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/adve.../how-to/part1/,
but I will tell you that more people frequent web-based message boards
than Usenet these days.

As far as who your target audience is, you will need to ask your
customers for whom you designed the web site, as that is a marketing and
business planning decision, and then you will need to tailor your site
exposure to their desired target market.

Hello..
I am the webmaster for snip spam not-so-cleverly disguised as a query

Kinda no-brainer, innit? One usually markets linens to housewives
and other assorted folk who sleep in beds...

Seems to me you just did spam. If you had left your web page off your
request you wouldn't have been considered spamming.

(Would have been better if you hadn't given the pillock a 2nd airing!)

What sort of web designer doesn't know how to get seen by search
engines, find appropriate forums, etc? And what sort of company of any
sort doesn't know how to identify their target market? Or identify that
a forum concerned with sewing is a stupid place to try and flog these
particular wares?

Sneaky, sneaky sneaky......should be titled, "how to spam without really
spamming...."


Especially when you consider that site was registered in 1999, and has
had "spam/net abuse" reports since at leat 2000.

"If the product is that good, it doesn't need spamming. If it needs
spamming, then it isn't that good"
