			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking for flooring leads? Here&#8217;s how to get them&#8230;</p>
<p>Flooring leads are easily obtainable online, much like other <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a>.  It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are looking for wood, tile, stone or carpet leads&#8230;they are all online.</p>
<p>How do you get flooring leads?</p>
<p>There are a few ways, but the best way is to get your business listed in the <a title="flooring leads" href="http://bit.ly/contractor-leads">Google local business listing</a>.</p>
<p>Google is by far the most used search engine and gets the most traffic to your business.  And unlike pay per click advertising, the local business listing is free and does not cost you money every time someone clicks on your listing.  This is a huge advantage!  Plus, customers can leave reviews on a local business listing, so you can build your businesses credibility over time.</p>
<p>One of the best features is that you don&#8217;t even need a website.  If you have one, great! But, you can use a Google business profile page for free.  Just set one up about your business and you are off and running.</p>
<p><a   title="Contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">Contractor leads</a> are hard to come by if you are not getting any traffic to your offers, so you might want to think about using a service to make sure your listing is on the first page results.  If  it is not, you will likely not get any leads.  But, a first page listing is sure to get calls if there is traffic.</p>
<p>For a company that has been getting guaranteed first page local business listings for well over 10 years, visit <a title="flooring leads online" href="http://bit.ly/contractor-leads">Guaranteed Google Listing</a>.  For WAY less than the yellow pages you can be up and running online and getting new <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a> all the time!</p>
<p>I hope you take advantage of this advice and start getting tons of flooring leads online.</p><script type="text/javascript" class="owbutton" src="http://onlywire.com/btn/button_1305" title="Flooring Leads - The Best Flooring Leads" url="http://contractorleadsonline.com/blog/flooring-leads"></script>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a   title="Contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">Contractor leads</a> are pretty hard to come by in a tough economy.  It&#8217; s hard paying for advertising when you often times do not make back your investment.</p>
<p>Take a coupon magazine, for example.  You pay money depending on how many houses the magazine is going to and wait for the phone to ring off the hook&#8230;and you get 2 calls and no jobs.  Not a good return on investment!</p>
<p>But with the internet it is different.  People go online and actually search for what your business is offering.  All you have to do is get infront of those people and they will be contacting you for a quote.</p>
<p>But how do you do this?  Well, while getting <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a> online is easy once you know what you are doing, but there are ways to lose money fast.  PPC can be one of them.  You pay every time someone clicks on your ad.  What if some joker decides to click your ad 10 times? Yep, you just paid for each time!</p>
<p>The best way is with the <a title="contractor leads" href="http://bit.ly/contractor-leads">Google Local Busines Listing</a>.  This is the listings that come up when a regional keyword is searched in Google, such as &#8220;Orange County Plumbing Contractors&#8221;.  Not only are these results right near the top of the page, but they also showcase your business, your pictures and searchers can even read reviews past customers have left about your business.  It is a GREAT way to connect with new clients.</p>
<p>Getting listed is easy.  You don&#8217;t even need a website! You can just use a Google profile page about your business. </p>
<p>And remember, unlike PPC, with the local business listings customers can click those links all day long and it doesn&#8217;t cost you a cent!</p>
<p>To get started, visit &#8211;&gt; <a title="contractor leads online" href="http://bit.ly/contractor-leads">Google Local Listings</a> and start generating <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a> fast!</p><script type="text/javascript" class="owbutton" src="http://onlywire.com/btn/button_1305" title="Contractor Leads - How To Get Them" url="http://contractorleadsonline.com/blog/contractorleads"></script>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several ways to go about remodeling marketing.  You can do door hangers, flyers, yellow pages, etc., but one of the best ways to handle remodeling marketing is by getting online.</p>
<p>The first way to get leads for remodeling is by getting listing in the <a title="remodeling marketing" href="http://bit.ly/contractor-leads">Google Local Listings</a>.  These are the results on the left side of Google when someone searches for a regional service.  Examples include: &#8220;Orange County Plumber&#8221;, &#8220;Painting Contractor San Antonio&#8221; and &#8220;Room Addition Las Vegas, Nevada&#8221;.</p>
<p>Not only do these results show up near the top of the page and STAND OUT with a map, but they also drive highly targeted visitors who are ready to hire a professional.  These are the next best <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a> to word of mouth.</p>

This is the power of remodeling marketing online.  There&#8217;s much more information for the consumer than standard print.</p>
<p>Many more people are turning to the internet to find a local contractor each and every year.  With high speed internet make searches lighting fast, the ability to find a great contractor, verify their credentials and read reviews, clients can do much more than with print advertising.</p>

<p>The best way to get plumbing leads online is by ranking on the first page of the Google Local Business Listing.</p>
<p><a title="contractor leads" href="http://contractorleadsonline.com"><img title="plumbing leads" src="http://contractorleadsonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/contractorleads-300x80.gif" alt="plumbing leads" width="300" height="80" /></a></p>
<p>By getting to the top of the local business listing, you will put yourself right in front of customers who are actively searching for a plumber in your area.   Its the best way to get targeted plumber leads.</p>
<p>Unlike PPC advertising (the ads on the right side of the search results), Google Local Listings do not cost anything per click.  This means you can have people clicking on your listing all day long and you aren&#8217;t paying $2.00 every time some competitor wants to check out your website. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve all seen it.  You search for something with a city name in the search and what do you get? <a href="http://contractorleadsonline.com"> Local results </a>complete with maps to their location.  They are the arguably the most visible part of the results page.</p>
<p>How do you get there?</p>
<p>You have to go to each search provider (Google, Bing, Yahoo!, etc. and type in all your business info.  This can take a long time, but it is definitely worth it. </p>
<p>There is a faster way to do this and it is one trick that many &#8220;local seo gurus&#8221; like to use.  You go to <a href="http://www.ubl.org?oid=362_1 ">Universal Business Listings</a> and use their service.  They provide automated submission to the following and more:</p>
<p>Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN<br />
Online Yellow Pages (Superpages, Yellowpages)<br />
Portals and Guides such as AOL, CitySearch<br />
Cell Phones and Mobile (BlackBerry and iPhone)<br />
411 Directory Assistance<br />
In-Car GPS Navigation<br />
Telematics such as OnStar<br />
<a href="http://www.ubl.org?oid=362_1 ">See Full List</a></p>
<p>This gives your business optimum web visibilty for just $30 a year.  You fill out the form once and submit it, rather than signing up on each site one by one!</p>
<p>What this also does is give your website some valuable backlinks and helps propel your website towards the top of the local business results.  </p>
<p>Learn more tips by visiting &#8212;>  <a href="http://contractorleadsonline.com">Contractor Leads</a></p>
<p>After using UBL on my own website, I &#8220;eclipsed&#8221; the other local business listings.  They all disappeared and my site was the only one left.  This is probably a pretty rare case, so don&#8217;t expect this.  I did use some pretty amazing seo tricks on that site as well&#8230; But, you can expect to get listed in all the local search results and be seen by hundreds if not thousands more searchers a year.  It&#8217;s well worth the $30 price tag.</p><script type="text/javascript" class="owbutton" src="http://onlywire.com/btn/button_1305" title="How To Get Your Website In All the Local Business Listing Results" url="http://contractorleadsonline.com/blog/how-to-get-your-website-in-all-the-local-business-listing-results"></script>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Just wanted to update everyone&#8230; I&#8217;m finished with the new template!  All you have to do is fill out the email form on the HOMEPAGE.  Follow the steps and it will take you to the download page.  Take a look at the screen shot below!  It&#8217;s a little teaser&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_32" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://contractorleadsonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/contractortemplate1.jpg"><img src="http://contractorleadsonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/contractortemplate1-300x168.jpg" alt="Contractor Lead Capture Page Website" title="Contractor Lead Capture Page Website" width="300" height="168" class="size-medium wp-image-32" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Contractor Lead Capture Page Website</p></div>
<p>I will be editing the site you see above and making a video of the process.  This should make it easier for everyone to grasp how to do it!  It&#8217;s pretty easy, you can just load the pages in a free HTML editor and change the text, add pictures, etc.   I also show you how to get your custom logo done as well.  You can use the one on the site above as a guide.</p>
<p>This template is much easier to edit than the previous one, still has a WordPress blog for dominating the search results and will generate leads like crazy.   Customers can&#8217;t miss the lead capture form on the homepage! </p>

<p>Video connects with your customers on a more personal level and allows you to grasp their attention.  With text, they might just skim over the page, but with video they will be more likely to hear exactly what you want them to.    &#8220;Fill out our contact form for a free estimate today&#8221; or &#8220;Be sure to call and ask about this months special pricing&#8221; can be very powerful video marketing tools for greater conversions.</p>
<p>The problem is, you need a professional video for maximum results.  If you have the skills and maybe own a flip cam, go for it! If not, I highly recommend virtual avatars.  You can literally make a professional video and have it up on your website within a few minutes.  You choose the face for the avatar or you can even upload your own picture and it will create an avatar that looks just like you!  How great is this.  People will recognize you when you go on estimates from your avatar and you&#8217;ll have already made a good first impression on your website.  You can even record your own voice for the video or use text to speach.  With this option, you just type up what you want the avatar to say, choose the voice and save the video.  It&#8217;s very easy.</p>
<p>As you can see by our <a title="contractor leads" href="http://contractorleadsonline.com"><strong>homepage</strong></a>, we recommend useful products that we actually use.</p>
<p><a title="add video to your website" href="http://www.sitepal.com/partner/launch.php?affId=1887348&amp;promotionId=17877">CLICK HERE </a>to test it out free for 15 days and see if it improves conversions, after that it&#8217;s very cheap!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a> online!</p>
<p>The free guide and contractor website template are almost ready for download on our<a title="contractor leads" href="http://contractorleadsonline.com" target="_blank"> HOMEPAGE</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Im sorry for the delay.  In trying to finish the site, I had to upload the youtube video and make sure the code worked on my site.  I used the same principles I teach in my guide, and the video shot to number one in youtube for &#8220;<a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a>&#8221; and &#8220;how to generate <a   title="contractor leads" href="" onClick="javascript:window.open('http://contractorleadsonline.com','','scrollbars,resizable,screeny=top,width=600,height=500')">contractor leads</a>&#8221;, etc.  Im sure it will settle in somewhere near the top of the results here shortly.  It won&#8217;t be long until I&#8217;m number one!</p>
<p>Anyways, this is generating traffic to the site (which is good), but Im wasn&#8217;t quite ready! </p>
<p>I should have the info ready for download by tomorrow ( July 16th.)</p>
<p>So check back then and get working on your website!</p>
<p>Talk soon,</p>
