[meteorite-list] Free Meteorite Dealer Listings since 1996

[Paul Harris]

Dear Gary,

First, I think your presentation to the school and some of your posts to 
the list have been excellent. But you are the one who
shot across our bow first as your email to the list on Dec 22, 2005 will 
show. 

 From the list archives.

1. When a list member informed you that we already provide a free list 
to everyone your response was - "Yes, but you have to know what you want."
I took that as a negative view of the service we have been providing 
since 1996.

2. Your statement, "If you want to be listed in what will quickly become 
the premier meteorite dealer's listing website..."
We've been the premier Meteorite Dealer listing website since 1996 and 
you have publicly  stated  your intent to change that.

3. Your statement, "And I bet I can take top position in the major 
search engines too.  I've been at this for 13 years now."  This
further proves you are trying to knock us out of our #1 spot and implies 
that I lack the seo skills necessary to remain #1.

I do disagree with some of your business tactics though.  Pumping up 
your posts in November and December to have people
look at your website and drive up your stats and then make a statement 
(which is accurate for December) that you have x amount
of unique visitors is quite misleading.  Everyone should look at the 
months before November and December to see the real stats.

This is the reason I made my post the way that I did.  I also calculated 
that you would not be able to remain silent.  If you had remained
silent I would not be making this post.

Competition is great for everyone.  It has kept us on our toes and our 
sites and services are better today because of you.

Thank you for making us better.

Paul Harris

 From Dec 22, 2005
Yes, but you have to know what you want.  This will be listings of all 
dealers who want to participate by location.  And I bet I can take top 
position in the major search engines too.  I've been at this for 13 
years now.

I think they have something like that already out there similar to that.
It's called the "The Meteorite Exchange"

    Dear Listers,

    In case y'all didn't know it, I am in the business of website design 
and search engine
    optimization. I am creating a website to list all meteorite dealers 
worldwide [if
    possible anyway] and would like to include your business in the 
database.
    What's in it for you? Business, plain and simple. As an example, I 
created     NorthConwayLodgings.com on Dec 12th. As of yesterday it is 
#1 on MSN and will be
    penetrating the top listings in Yahoo and Google within the next few 
months.
    This new Meteorite Dealers site will be broken down by region and 
will launch within a
    week. It should be placed well before the Tucson show at MSN and If 
you want to be
    listed in what will quickly become the premier meteorite dealer's 
listing website just
    shoot me an email using the email link near the end of this post. 
Click it and the
    subject should be included in your to me email automatically.
