Whatever you title your item as, the search engines will see as the title for the page that your item listing appears on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you are selling a 40&quot; Samsung Plasma TV, list it as a 40 inch Samsung Plasma TV.  This should help with the search engine rankings.  You can include the 40&quot; plasma text in your description, which will help with the gorage search as well as the search engine rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are doing what we can to make your items visible to people searching the internet for items and not just through the gorage.com website.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&#39;ll keep you informed on techniques to help get your items more visibility for potential buyers to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you,&lt;br /&gt;gorage.com team</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112749598943721963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112749598943721963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gorage.blogspot.com/2005/09/item-listings-titles.html' title='Item Listings - Titles'/><author><name>Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05262934202883463325</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://www.pixeleffects.com/blog/images/baron2.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000264.post-112732070889445934</id><published>2005-09-21T09:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-21T09:38:28.900-07:00</updated><title type='text'>No Final Value Fees</title><content type='html'>Just wanted to remind everyone that gorage.com does not charge final value fees.

Specify the length of time that buyers have to make an offer. At the end of that time period, the buyer that made the best offer above the minimum price wins the auction. You can notify them by e-mail that they have won, then get payment from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why a silent auction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having a silent auction gives you the ability to accept serious offers on your items. If you choose to state the highest offer or change the listing price to the current highest dollar amount offered that is up to you. Otherwise, potential buyers will need to make an offer that they are willing to pay for the item not based on what the last bidder posted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who can benefit from using gorage.com to have a silent auction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silent auctions can be of great benefit to non-profit organizations that use online sales for fund-raising.

When you can, include the manufacturer name, model or style. This will be useful when potential buyers come to the gorage.com website and are searching for items. In addition, it will improve the visibility of your items on the search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s say you are selling a camera. If you create an item listing with a title of &quot;Camera&quot; then you don&#39;t give potential buyers enough information about your particular item. If your item title is something like &quot;Kodak EasyShare DX6490 Digital Camera&quot; you are telling a potential buyer what specific camera it is you are selling, not to mention you are making it easier for someone looking for that specific brand or model to find.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Item Description&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another area where you want to be as brief, yet descriptive as possible. This is the perfect area to list the distinguishing features of your items and to include any additional information about your particular items for sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are working on allowing longer item descriptions. This will give you the ability to be more descriptive and put any special instructions (such as pick up only...etc.). We&#39;ll let you know when we have upgraded that function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check back often for more hints and updates.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112317643856886435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112317643856886435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gorage.blogspot.com/2005/08/tips-for-listing-your-items.html' title='Tips for listing your items'/><author><name>Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05262934202883463325</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://www.pixeleffects.com/blog/images/baron2.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000264.post-112317549326245104</id><published>2005-08-04T09:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-04T10:11:33.273-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Affordable way to start a home-based business</title><content type='html'>If you look at the pricing that gorage.com offers, you&#39;ll see that it is an affordable way to start an home-based business selling products online. Starting at $50 every 30 days ($600 per year) you can list up to 100 items. For $100 per month, you can list up to 500 items.  The best part is your items are searchable through the gorage.com website for potential buyers to see. In addition, your items will also be listed on the major search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gorage.com takes care of your need for website design, hosting and internet marketing by offering you the ability to list and manage your items for sale on the gorage.com website. Where else can you get the opportunity to have your own web space that allows you to manage your products without all of the start-up costs of web design, web development, web hosting and internet marketing?  On average that is a cost savings of $3000 or more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also have a simple path to your gorage with the way we have set up our web address system. That means that you can send out e-mails, business cards or flyers with the path to your gorage on them.

What does search engine friendly mean and how does that affect the users of the site? To start, search engine friendly pages are designed so that the content of the page is picked up by search engines. Most common formats for building webpages with database connections are not recognized by search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our goal is to get your items listed on search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN...Etc. This means more exposure for your item listings at no additional cost to you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, we have built pages with shorter web addresses or URL&#39;s. This makes it easier to send a link to your gorage or item listing.  It also makes it easier for you to put links to your items on other websites.  For example, if you wanted to send a link to your gorage to someone the path to that page would look like this: &lt;strong&gt;http://www.gorage.com/mygorage/goragename&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting to your item would look like this: &lt;strong&gt;http://www.gorage.com/myitem/100&lt;/strong&gt;  where the &quot;100&quot; represents the numeric id for that item in the gorage.com database.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to the site: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gorage.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and browse through the gorages. Click on a gorage and look at the web address. You&#39;ll see this new method in place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s just one of the ways we are working to help our users have the best possible way to sell their new or used items online.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112214016089116966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112214016089116966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gorage.blogspot.com/2005/07/search-engine-friendly-item-listings.html' title='Search Engine Friendly Item Listings'/><author><name>Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05262934202883463325</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://www.pixeleffects.com/blog/images/baron2.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000264.post-112121717661001624</id><published>2005-07-12T17:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-13T09:33:58.293-07:00</updated><title type='text'>gorage.com featured on Boston TV station</title><content type='html'>gorage.com was featured on The Boston Channel (Channel 5 - WCVB-TV) this evening:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebostonchannel.com/theclick/4712752/detail.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.thebostonchannel.com/theclick/4712752/detail.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The website was &quot;The Click&quot; feature for the evening.

This will allow businesses the opportunity to list the following types of services:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional &lt;br /&gt;General &lt;br /&gt;Residential &lt;br /&gt;Commercial &lt;br /&gt;Technical &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you&#39;re an independent contractor, a start-up business or a large corporation you can list the services you offer on gorage.com.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a reminder that gorage.com is &lt;strong&gt;FREE&lt;/strong&gt; for sellers for a limited time. Register and confirm your account then use: &lt;strong&gt;FR33467243&lt;/strong&gt; for your promotional code to get your free 10-space, 30-day gorage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still not sure why we offer selling spaces? It&#39;s simple. Instead of charging our sellers for each item they list, we charge them for the number of spaces they choose to use to make items available for sale on the gorage.com website. Think of it as your shelf space in the world&#39;s largest department store.  You pay to use that space and manage the item listings you have. You can edit your listings, replace your listings or delete your listings as often as you&#39;d like. Your commitment to us is payment for the use of those selling spaces and that&#39;s it. No fees are paid to gorage.com for the actual sale of your items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, enjoy using gorage.com and help us spread the word about the new online garage / yard sale, classified and storefront shopping alternative in one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112016865133105780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/112016865133105780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gorage.blogspot.com/2005/06/list-your-services-on-goragecom.html' title='List your services on gorage.com'/><author><name>Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05262934202883463325</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://www.pixeleffects.com/blog/images/baron2.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000264.post-111955465284782893</id><published>2005-06-23T12:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-23T12:24:12.863-07:00</updated><title type='text'>gorage.com is FREE for a limited time</title><content type='html'>For a limited time, gorage.com is FREE to sellers wanting to create a gorage and list their items.  Anyone interested in selling their items online can use this promotion code: &lt;strong&gt;FR33467243&lt;/strong&gt; when creating their gorage to get a FREE 10-space, 30-day gorage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a helpful reminder of the steps in getting started on gorage.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Process 1 - Registration.  You will need to register your account with gorage.com. This includes providing your information for your gorage.com profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Process 2 - Create a gorage. This is where you name your gorage and give a brief description of what you will offer in the gorage. It doesn&#39;t have to be specific, in fact you can make it as generalized as you&#39;d like...especially if you&#39;re not sure of exactly what you may want to sell in your gorage. If you do not have a promotion code, this is part of the process where you would pay gorage.com to use the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Process 3 - Add your items. Once your gorage (or selling space) is established you will be able to add your items to that gorage.  This is where you can give each item a title, description, price and include your photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From there you will be able to log into gorage.com and manage your products whenever you&#39;d like. That means you can change the title, description, price or even the pictures of your items. You will also be able to add more items to your gorage once any of your current listed items sell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check out the website for more info.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/111955465284782893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10000264/posts/default/111955465284782893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gorage.blogspot.com/2005/06/goragecom-is-free-for-limited-time.html' title='gorage.com is FREE for a limited time'/><author><name>Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05262934202883463325</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://www.pixeleffects.com/blog/images/baron2.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000264.post-111827725828923059</id><published>2005-06-08T17:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-08T18:27:12.206-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Start an online business with gorage.com</title><content type='html'>Want to know a secret?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gorage.com just launched, but it is your solution to starting a business online. Have you heard the stories of people making extra income selling things online? Do you see the stories about people using eBay to make a living? Have you ever wanted to start your own business, but just didn&#39;t know how to go about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you can, with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt;. The site is cost effective for selling products online, and you don&#39;t need to worry about the start-up costs involved in creating your own website. The one important thing you will need to determine is what you want to sell on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt;. There are several plans available to you that will allow you to sell your items. In fact, it is so cost effective that you can set up multiple different gorages (the area you use to list your items) with different types of products.  Let&#39;s say you have some fashion items, maybe clothing that you&#39;d like to sell. You can set up a gorage that is specific to those items. You could then set up another gorage that allows you to list your electronic items. You are not required to set up multiple gorages. You can just put all of your items in one larger gorage if you choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt; a better place than any other online auction website or other online classified ad websites? &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt; does not require you to pay any fees based on what you sell your items for or what are known as final value fees. You pay only for the number of spaces you want (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com/fees_payments.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;based on plans offered by gorage.com&lt;/a&gt;) to use to list your items for 30 day increments. That is all you will need to pay for. If you have an item that listed for $150, you won&#39;t need to pay anything more for having sold that item. Once you pay for your spaces and days, you&#39;ve fulfilled your obligation to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt;. So, all of the sales you make will add up to more profit for your online business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interested in learning more about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt;  and how you can get a FREE 30-day gorage? &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com/intro_promo.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here for the promotion code&lt;/a&gt;. Then when you have your online business up and running tell your friends, family and co-workers where they can buy your items online. Tell them how you&#39;re the one earning extra income selling products on the internet.  Maybe your experiences could be written into a book about using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt; as the platform for making money on the internet.

Have you thought about ways you could turn your extra time into extra cash?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are literally thousands of ways to do this, but some of them can get rather expensive. Many of the websites that allow you to sell your items online won&#39;t charge you to list the item, but they will charge you a percentage of the final price that you sell the item for. Those fees vary depending on which site you use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you avoid paying those types of fees? There is a website that allows you to sell your items online and charges for the number of spaces that you use to do so. Spaces, you say? Yes, spaces!  The website is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gorage.com&quot;&gt;gorage.com&lt;/a&gt; and here is brief explanation of how it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You register for your account on the site, which does not cost anything to do. The next step is to create what is known as your gorage. The gorage is the area where you list your items. Your gorage is also where you can manage your items, but we can explain that in more detail later. After you have set up your gorage, you will then need to add your items to that gorage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems like there are a lot of steps to this whole process, but it&#39;s really not. You will only need to register your account once. Your gorage is set up to be active for 30 day increments.  The pricing for the different size gorages is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;01 - 10 spaces = $5.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;11 - 25 spaces = $10.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;26 - 50 spaces = $25.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;51 - 100 spaces = $50.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business Accounts (100+ spaces qualifies as business account) &lt;br /&gt;101 - 500 spaces = $100.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;501 - 1000 spaces = $200.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;1001 - 1500 spaces = $300.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;1501 - 2000 spaces = $400.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;2001 and above = $600.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this mean for someone who wants to start an online business without all of the business start-up fees? gorage.com offers a way to list your items for sale online without the cost of getting your own website; designed, built, hosted and maintained. In some cases, those costs could be in the tens of thousands of dollars range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is gorage.com the solution for someone starting an online storefront business? The fact that there are no final value or final pricing fees means that a business will know and will be able to budget the costs they will be charged on gorage.com. For example, a business that sets up a gorage with up to 100 spaces will be charged $50 for every 30 days that gorage is active. For one year the total cost for using gorage.com for that business is $600. Since there are no additional fees to use gorage.com, whatever sales the business makes through the gorage.com website can be counted as revenue for the business. Compare that to other auction sites or other listing sites that charge a fee for each item listed and/or sold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is gorage.com using this pricing format? Simply because it is more cost effective for people selling their items online.

So, what is it that they want from the sites that they do all of that buying and selling? First and foremost, they want value. So why would we want to create a site that is considered an alternative to the auction sites, or even an alternative to ebay if you will? The answer is simple; to give people a choice. Sure, there are many other sites out there that will allow you to buy or sell things online, but we&#39;ve created a format that is simple to use and whose sole purpose is to connect buyers with sellers. The flat rate cost of using the site makes it appealing to sellers, since they pay for a grouping of spaces for a set number of days rather than paying to list each individual item. There are no final value fees on gorage.com either, so whatever you sell your items for is what you get for having sold that item. What you pay to gorage.com is based on the number of spaces you select for your gorage and the number of days (minimum of 30) you select as well. There is not a bidding system either. Sellers can list their items at the price they choose and set their price as firm or negotiable. Interested buyers can make offers on items for sale without feeling they need to compete with others interested in the same product. We have all heard that the best way to get someone to buy a product is to put them in competition with others, so they just have to buy the item. We don&#39;t necessarily feel that is how we need our site to work. We want buyers to be able to purchase items at a reasonable price, while keeping the cost of listing those items for sale very low for the sellers as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why this format? We feel that gorage.com can be used as an online garage sale, classified or storefront all in one. Your gorage can be used to sell items that you no longer have a use for or for new items that you are able to sell. In addition, gorage.com creates a way for people to start their own small home-based business by offering a format that allows them to resell items online for a profit. What does it cost to use the site? Buyers are not required to pay anything to use the site and do not need to register to search, browse or buy. Sellers pay for the number of spaces in their gorage and for the number of days (30 day increments) that they want to have their gorage open. The pricing matrix looks like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;01 - 10 spaces = $5.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;11 - 25 spaces = $10.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;26 - 50 spaces = $25.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;51 - 100 spaces = $50.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Business Accounts (100+ spaces qualifies as business account) &lt;br /&gt;101 - 500 spaces = $100.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;501 - 1000 spaces = $200.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;1001 - 1500 spaces = $300.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;1501 - 2000 spaces = $400.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;2001 and above = $600.00 per 30 days &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does a seller pay to use gorage.com? Currently, we are taking our payments through PayPal. PayPal is the most cost effective way for gorage.com to receive payments. This allows us to keep the cost of using gorage.com down as well. We are not in any way affiliated with PayPal, we just realize that they have a very expansive user base and many people use it as a form of sending and receiving payments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes gorage.com different from other online buying / selling websites? Our cost and easy to use processes are the key factors that separate us from other sites. The gorage.com site is designed to be easy to use in addition to being cost effective for sellers. Offering space to sell items for 30 day increments means that our sellers are able to sell more items at less cost. For example, a seller that purchases a 10 space gorage for 30 days has the option to fill any empty space in their gorage after an item sells as long as they have days remaining on that gorage. There is no additional charge to fill that empty space with another item. Sellers will only be charged to renew their gorage or to upgrade their gorage to more spaces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal is to build a site that both buyers and sellers see value in and are willing to tell others about. To us, site users telling others about our site and the value it has is the biggest compliment that anyone can offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a list of many of the categories that items can be found under on the gorage.com website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Activewear&lt;br /&gt;Agriculture &amp; Forestry&lt;br /&gt;Airline&lt;br /&gt;Alternative&lt;br /&gt;AM/FM &amp; CD&lt;br /&gt;Amethyst&lt;br /&gt;Animals&lt;br /&gt;Animation &amp; Cartoons&lt;br /&gt;Anime&lt;br /&gt;Antique &amp; Vintage&lt;br /&gt;Anything Baby&lt;br /&gt;Apparel&lt;br /&gt;Appliances&lt;br /&gt;Archeology&lt;br /&gt;Art&lt;br /&gt;Art Show&lt;br /&gt;Artisan&lt;br /&gt;Arts &amp;
