Yep - that's right - I just quoted myself. Help me understand the benefit of posting a PT link to my website. Thanks.

We don't always to everything just for the benefit. Nathan originally asked us to do it to promote PT. Although adding the PT link or each others links may help your SEO, it is more of a "fraternal" thing for some.

It's a cool looking logo & it shows that you are passionate about your industry! IMHO

Thank you. Now, I understand and that makes sense. For the life of me I couldn't see how it would be benificial for a biz to promote this site.

We've got a new site up and you're my first official link. I'll be adding more, but you'll always be my first.

The last thing I need is my customers/clientele watching me converse with other painters...

Sorry, no can do.

There is information here that simply is not needed for the eye's of clientele.

Anytime you put your website in your posts some of your posts will show up when they search your website.
Just act like the mature business owner you are and you got no worries.

Edit: Not to imply that you are not acting that way already.

I just googled my website and found nothing linked to PT 5 pages in... most people google a website and find them on the top of the page linked directly to their site not an affiliation.

I have no worries. I just don't find the value of having clientele or customers snooping around my online conversations. I am sure there are more here that would agree than not... That's why I don't find it beneficial to link PT to my site.

Jason@API · 07-03-2010, 02:16 AM

My bad...

I googled my web address unlike my last post where I just put the name and found links to PT and CT on the first page. But the funny thing is... no one has yet to do that according to my analytics. People have searched my name but not my website.

Interesting when I googled your website a minute ago I found a couple of posts on page one and two. That is as far as I went.

I hear ya. It is strictly a volunteer thing.

Jason@API · 07-03-2010, 02:19 AM

Regardless... I just don't see the justification to advertise a "semi"-private conversation...

Nothing is private on the web, but what is talked about can be limited to the viewers.

yeah, it was a website to name difference.... my original search was name only and that didn't list anything until page 6, but when I searched my website, it does show PT and CT on the first page as references. But the likelyhood of searching by web address is very slim.

Your being to diplomatic....

As a Mod you kinda need to be diplomatic.

I know as a contractor, diplomacy is a better part of relating to customers. How dare we tell the HO they picked the wrong color!!!!! lol...
