List your Business and Advertise on Bohol.ph

IJsselstein, Wednesday, 18 May 2011

We have noticed that a lot of businesses from Bohol use the feedback form to advertise themselves. However, there is a much better way to get a presence on this site. Just ask to get listed in our business directory for free.

Sample 160x600 ad.

For all Bohol related businesses, we offer a free listing in the appropriate category on our site, where you can provide your address and contact details and a link to your website. Each listing includes a full web-page on which you can describe your business, and add several pictures, such as a company logo, photographs of your business premisses, or, for example, if you are a transport company, offered itineraries and tours, and your vehicles. If you have a email address, we can optionally enable a contact form as well, allowing prospective customers to contact you directly from this site.

If you run a resort or hotel on Bohol, we can offer even more, as we can include information (and pictures) on the rooms and rates at your resort or hotel, and also provide an inquiry form, where prospective customers can get in touch with you for possible bookings; and a review form that can be used by your customers to give valuable feedback.

The easiest way to get listed is to send us your business details. This can be done by using the form below or the contact form, but it is better to send us an email with a the information on your business you wish to add to this site. There is no hard limit on the size of such a text, so if two pages make sense, don't hesitate to write two pages. Please include one or more pictures, as they help customers make the decision to use your company. When you send us texts, please send them as plain text, HTML, or a common word-processor format, so we can easily copy the information. PDF files and pictures are less appropriate for that. If you send us your pictures, please send us photos of at least 640 pixels wide, but if possible just as they come from your digital camera. The more pictures, the better.

Conditions for Business Listings on Bohol.ph

1. The listed business should have some relation to Bohol.
2. We reserve the right to edit submitted texts. We will normally only do that to correct errors or to condense the material.
3. We reserve the right to edit submitted pictures (such as cropping, color adjustments, and resizing).
4. Submitted pictures may appear in our picture galleries and other pages within Bohol.ph. In such cases, the picture will be properly credited and linked back to your resort page.
5. If you supply us with materials, such as texts and photographs, you assert that you have sufficient rights to allow us to publish those materials, and indemnify us against infringement claims from third parties. (As a short guidance: if you write a text or make a photograph yourself, you own the copyright. If you hire a professional photographer to make pictures, this is not automatically the case. Pictures just taken from the web can normally not be used without permission.)
6. We will verify listings once in a while, and if the contact details are found to be out-of-date we will remove the listing.
7. When you opt for the use of contact forms, we expect you to respond to customer inquiries within a reasonable time, that is within one or two days.
8. You should not use the review forms to manipulate the ratings of your own business, business partners or competitors.

Advertising

Advertising on Bohol.ph is easy and gives you direct access to thousands of visitors daily (see Quantcast for details on our visitors). Probably the fastest way to get your banner and text ads on this site is to sign up with Google AdWords, and buy some advertising space. You can then design your ads, select relevant keywords and regions, and (optionally) use managed placements to put them on this site. Google then takes care of the rest. This makes most sense for a small advertising campaign. If you have specific wishes for advertising on this site, such as using larger banners or advertising appearing on the site for a longer stretch of time, please be in touch and tell us about your wishes.

Hosting

We've noticed that some resorts or hotels have some difficulties to host their site. We can help with hosting your website on the same server as bohol.ph is hosted on. This server runs on Apache and supports PHP and MySQL for back-end databases, and can also forward your email, using email addresses from your own domain, which looks more professional than using a free email-provider account.

Please be in touch if you would like us to take care of hosting.
