Hello,

This is my first post :)

I recently took over administration of www.kingsfloristdirectory.com which is geared towards supporting the local florist.

With a bit of SEO work traffic has started to build up nicely (mainly from Google).

Please let me know about any errors or ommisions using the form on the site or via this thread.

Thanks

Shirley
 
Sorry, but your Google Adwords with FTD.com popping up make your "directory" irrelevant.
 
The directory allows visitors to search for and then contact their local florist. I feel that it provides a good service to real florists. Of course some visitors click on the ads and that helps pay for the site hosting and admin. Are you saying its wrong to have Google ads on the kingsfloristdirectory?

No, not at all, but that by connecting consumers to FTD.com, Teleflora.com or any non-local florist your also supporting the very companies that are killing the local florist.

Since we know most web shoppers will "click-thru" rather than calling, by having direct clickable links to Order Gatherers, it's likely many consumers will get driven to Order Gatherers.
 
The ads are contextual and generally show mainly ads for local florists in the city where the visitor is searching. I will look into blocking the ads for the non-local florists.

Thanks
 
You have to block ads for all floral and gift products if you don't want to compete with the very people you purport to help.

Sorry - can't have it both ways...JMO
 
I'm going to have to say, your listing are WAY outdated...........of the eight shops listed in my town.........six have been gone for four or more years.

Something we often see when someone new buys a list...seems that the same list shows up about -2 times a year in some format or another.
