2) Featured Text Listing – Prices are based on page popularity
A Featured Text Listing places your business listing in the "Featured" section at the top of a requested page. According to Yahoo! research, featured listings get more impressions and receive four times the "click throughs" compared to a basic, alphabetized listing. In addition to the increased visibility, you will also get:
a) Quick placement – If your featured listing is an appropriate fit for Expolorer1.com, it will be added to our site within 24 hours of payment.
b) No page/category restrictions – Unlike a Basic Listing that is restricted to its designated category, a featured listing can be placed on any page. For an example, a feature listing for a restaurant can be added to the hotel or B&B page(s).
c) Add a description – You can include a 25 or fewer word description with your business listing.
d) Add a logo or image – You can include a small image with your listing and description. (Standard image size is 120 pixels x 90 pixels. Image must adhere to applicable copyright laws.)
e) Add a Web coupon. You can include a Web coupon with your listing. The coupon will also be added to our Web Coupon section.
