Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

The "Jewelry Shopping" category has been oddly split up:
Diamonds (0)

Ruby Jewelry (0)

******* (0)

I don't get having "Ruby Jewelry" when there are more popular/normal categories like:
Diamond Jewelry
Diamonds, Loose
Fine Jewelry
Bridal & Wedding Jewelry
*******
Fashion & Costume Jewelry
I would then be able to properly list my sites under the appropriate categories.
AND....a paid listing would place me where, at the top of the "Jewelry Shopping" page or would I have to pay for banner/advetorial in each sub-category? I have 4 stores that each fit multiple sub's...

Category Suggestions:
1. Under "Shopping" >"Online Shopping" (for my virtual Mall)
2. Under "Travel" > a. "Honeymoons", b. "Spa", c. "Luxury", d. "All-Inclusive", e. "Vacation", f. "Golf", g. "Incentive"
3. I second the mention of "Wedding" as a new category, which should have sub-categories (it's a long list I can submit later via email if you'd like) as the wedding/bridal market is so huge and vibrant, it will be a popular draw...
4. new category: "Communications", to include "Media Management", "Media Production", "Public Relations", and "Composition/Writing Services" as sub-categories.
5. new category: "Services" where you can add sub's to organize "Legal", "Home Builders", etc.
6. category edit/correction: under "Travel", "Guides & Info" should be changed to > "Tours & Guide Services"

These are what you usually see, and will make it easier for not only visitors to find what they are looking for, but will result in greater SE caching.

Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

Would it be possible to add 'VodaSearch' as a 'QuickLInk' on the forum,
or at least somewhere where we can find it easily?

Thank you for your understanding.

Of course, General!

When you have a moment, could you bring me up to par by trying to answer my confusing question posted above? (copied here)
"AND....a paid listing would place me where, at the top of the "Jewelry Shopping" page or would I have to pay for banner/advetorial in each sub-category? I have 4 stores that each fit multiple sub's..."

I am confused (apparently) on how to 'list' my stores & services. For example, would placing a "premier" listing for ChoiceJeweler.com in not only the Category:Jewelry, but also under sub-categories "Diamond Jewelry," "Fine Jewelry," and "*******" constitute 4 x $47 charges, or only 1 paid listing?
And what are the restrictions on text copy? (100, 200, 300, 500 max etc.)

What is "self=catering"? Do you mean something like "self-service" or a type of service available as "Independent Travel"?

If so, that is already the industry standard, and need not be singularized, don't you think??

(within the travel industry, English is the universal, and there are classes set up by IATAN to properly segment both types of service and providers)

Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

Self catering in the English language usually means holidays where you cook for yourselves..............so it would be a good sub cat of holidays.

Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

I understand Dave....I was merely pointing out the fact there is a "universiality" to both travel terms and classes and referenced categories of internet search and "directories".....(you don't see it as a standard pull-up at Google, for instance). And it's not a category listed by Conde Nast or Magellan if you aren't familiar with IATAN.

That is why I limit my own suggestions to industry standards commonly seen and expected (especially for search, yes?).

Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

If you google "self catering holidays" you will only get about 4,110,000

Most people searching on the internet do not know anything about industry standards, they just type in what they are looking for.......

and self catering holidays are very popular.....

Self catering is British and Euro speak (very common and widely used). This term is not used in the USA that much, if at all.

Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

Re: VodaSearch - Suggest a Category

"Suites, Family Suites, Kitchenette, Homestyle, Condo/Condominium, Residence Rentals, Vacation Units, Fully Appointed Rentals...."
These are some of the top listings for US clients.

You may wish to surf sites like AAA (American Automobile Club - they have a traveller program), AARP, Good Sam Club (even though they are camping, they offer alternatives), Holiday Inn (they offer rooms as well as "kitchenettes" and other properties), and even AmeriSuites to see the verbiage they promote.

You may also try to find online Travel Directories and wholesaler/consolidator sites that you may list your site with, as you cover a "niche" that is most likely under-represented.....
(Amex Travel, Travel Impressions, Uniglobe, Globus, etc.)
