So while I am website-marketing recommending and explaining to my audience low cost promoting for the Web a lot of happenings occurred to my own website.
My main source for marketing my site has dropped my listings from 10 to 3 , some of them are still persisting halfway down, due to some rdf property left behind by scriptsearch.com and some cached infos into the search engines that eventually are linking to these 7 dropped links from www.scriptsearch.com
Here is the list and this author search shows the 3 listings left.
Now you will say it was gratis, no it wasn't as they costed me heavy efforts to fix my programs fit for them.
I agree that I did not make a forever deal with ScriptSearch.com , but they could at least give me a drop-out-date !
No dropoutdate no explanation ... just dropped out !
After all they have used my listings for 2 years for attracting visitors and I think I deserve an answer to my messages to them.
That's why I am now spreading this risk through more web-publishing companies as www.thescriptdirectory.com , www.hotscript.com etc.
I pretty well have read forwardings and conditions, where the company deserves the right to delete at anytime any published program, but my dropped-scripts have been on for a couple years on average, to re-propose all of them elsewhere, I will need a lot of working hours, also by re-adjusting rating links and so on.
Ok the reason may be whatever, say that my 7 scripts were not original [One for all please have a look at this link, then post my blog for a similar one], say that they would come to me and say : Hey mister ics, we got space problems on our database, please cut off some of your links and assemble them on your best ones'listed links !
Oh no ! Too much of a hustle for a script maker !
It is already very much rude to set a form to let people writing to you, instead of an e-mail address but at least you can add a few lines to your form that gives to the Visitor a copy of what he is writing in the form and he can track and record his query.
Into the right side framework of this page you can see such a feature, actually I believe that there is one in a million like that, believe me it is very easy, you just buy a book of PHP and learn on how to do it !
[...or you associate to www.ics-php.com]
This theme is treated and included into my PHP platform, not necessarily my Visitor must associate to my website to get the code, if he persuades me to be running out of just those 50 euros to associate, I can also e-mail the code for nothing
I am now publishing this article on my low-cost advertising ..actually depending on some other possible points of view may also be considered very expensive,
I know to risk that ScriptSearch.com drops all my remaining publishings, but I could not resist to shoot my complains by writing this article.To conclude I wish to say that doors are made to be knocked, outsiders and insiders both are supposed to be kind, so let's try to implement respect and consideration for people anywhere they are staying.
... I have to say here on the 23d of July 2004 that www.scriptsearch.com has reset all my links and also sombody else's I suppose, there were many disappeared links indeed. Most probably they had a server problem and they were too busy to answer on my inquires :-)
...but my abitual surfers have seen what big changes I made on my freebies and advertising. However we have a saying in Italy :
"All is good , if it ends up well !"
...a few things have changed in the meantime in results made available by http://www.scriptsearch.com/ regarding the restored scripts, the retrieved results from search engines are not the same as they were when I have edited my web page :
http://www.ics-php.com/ev/marketing.htm ,
the ranking for ScriptSearch itself is much higher
[...not for the script-makers].
I will surely keep an eye on it and report my findings in this blog.
